A world leader in railroad inspection, offering integrated solutions with intelligent technology that improve the safety, efficiency, and reliability of transportation. Develops turnkey platforms enabling data-driven decisions and failure prevention.
Precise Location
Advanced technology automatically identifies the vehicle’s exact position on the track.
Autonomous Inspection
Automated systems reduce risks, optimize costs, and increase inspection frequency.
Global Technology
Turnkey platforms enable data-based decisions and fault prevention.
URFS
Ultrasonic Rail Flaw Detection
Prevents rail and weld breaks using complementary technologies and skills—helping railroads meet regulations, prevent derailments, and keep lines operating safely and efficiently.
TGMS
Track Geometry Measurement
Ensures track geometry remains within prescribed limits for safe operations.
RSIS
Rail Surface Imaging
High-speed cameras capture detailed, non-contact rail-surface images; ENSCO’s patented algorithms assess RCF and surface damage, visualized in band charts synchronized with images and other inspection data.
RQMS
Ride Quality Measurement
Provides complementary data on track condition and geometry. Body, suspension, and wheel acceleration can be synchronized with geometry and machine-vision data. Advanced signal-processing pinpoints flats, battered joints, motor burns, crushed railheads, and more.
RCIS
Rail Components Imaging
Combines the best of RSIS and the Tie/Component Imaging System (TCIS) to capture high-resolution images of rail surface, fastenings, and sleepers near the fastenings.
RCMS
Rail Corrugation Measurement
High-precision system measuring corrugation across critical wavelength bands for comprehensive assessment—key to locating areas requiring rail maintenance to correct corrugation and restore optimal wheel-rail behavior.
RPMS
Rail Profile Measurement
Rail wear is among the most important metrics for asset management. RPMS is a laser-profiling complement to TGMS that delivers the necessary profile measurements for track maintenance and management.
V/TI (VTI) – Vehicle/Track Interaction Monitor
Includes two axle sensors to measure wheel-rail impacts, a bogie sensor for lateral motion, and two sensors inside the locomotive to measure lateral and vertical cab movements.
