Measurement services

The companies of the Goldschmidt Thermit Group offer you a variety of measurement services which include the planning and execution of measurements and the analysis and documentation of the measurement results:

  • Long-/short-time stress measurements and stress-free temperature
  • Measurement of longitudinal and cross-section profiles and measurement of surface roughness
  • Track position and stability measurements
  • Track geometry testing and switch inspections
  • Bridge and component testing
  • Ultrasonic testing and inspections
  • Measurement of switch systems
  • Calibration and maintenance service

Our qualified technicians and engineers guarantee you highly precise measurement results and a longer life for your rails and wheels.

The following measurement services are offered:

TRACKSAFE RELEASE - Service

Mobile, fast and non-destructive measurement of tensile and compressive stresses. Determination of stress-free temperature.

Benefits

  • Prevention of rail buckles and breakage thanks to early identification of potentially dangerous track conditions
  • Non-destructive measurement method without the need to unfasten rails
  • Measurement of tensile and compressive stresses with minimal track occupation
  • Automatic documentation in accordance with railway standards
  • Suitable for non-destructive determination of reference points for permanent tensile measurement devices such as strain gauges
  • Suitable to define tensile conditions and stress-free temperature in between two permanent measurement points which may be monitored, for example, by strain gauges

Scope of service

  • Our experienced measuring experts will do all measurement work required
  • Up to 20 stress-free temperatures, reference points per shift
  • Precise measurements in any weather conditions and at any time of day
  • Detailed documentation included

RAILSTRAIGHT – Service

Fast and precise measurement of straightness and corrugations of the running surface and gauge face for increased track safety.

Benefits

  • Comprehensive electronic documentation of straightness and corrugation measurements after grinding work to protocol the acceptance of the measurement result on-site
  • Helps to ensure precise track position
  • The result is reduced wear of rail and wheel which leads to lower maintenance costs

Scope of service

  • Our measurement experts carry out the necessary measurements
  • On-site analysis of the measurements possible
  • Including extensive measurement records and documentation
  • Straightness measurement for welding, fishplate and insulated joints
  • Measurement of short, medium and long wave track defects and corrugations
