CONSTRUCTION IMPACT ON RAILWAY INFRASTRUCTURE
Construction Impact Monitoring for Better Control Near Rail
Understand how construction activities affect nearby railway infrastructure before, during and after the work. Establish a clear baseline, follow change over time, document impact and act early when conditions require attention.
THE CHALLENCE
Construction near rail creates uncertainty.
Excavation, tunnelling, drilling and other construction activities can cause ground movement, settlement and changes in nearby railway infrastructure. These changes are not always visible during routine inspections, making it difficult to assess the impact of ongoing work.
Continuous monitoring helps you establish a clear baseline, follow changes as work progresses and document how railway assets are affected — giving your team a stronger basis for timely decisions and keeping projects on track.

CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE
Building Near Active Railways Without Losing Sight of Track Conditions
Henning Grønbæk, Chief Surveyor at Aarsleff Rail, shares his experience from the Masnedsund railway expansion project.
Aarsleff Rail | Masnedsund, Denmark
During the expansion of the railway from one to two tracks at Masnedsund, Aarsleff Rail faced a critical challenge: construction work was taking place just metres from an operational railway, with trains passing approximately every 15 minutes.
Embankment widening, sheet piling and challenging ground conditions created a risk of movement and vibration. With limited space for traditional surveying instruments, Aarsleff needed a monitoring solution that could:
- Continuously monitor track conditions with measurements every minute.
- Trigger automated alarms when changes required attention.
- Provide clear trends and documentation to assess changes throughout the project.
Find the right monitoring approach for your railway construction project.
Every construction project near or beneath railway infrastructure comes with different ground conditions, monitoring requirements and operational constraints. Whether you’re planning excavation, underground crossings or work alongside active tracks, we can help you identify what needs to be monitored and how to document changes throughout the project.
FLEXIBLE MONITORING SOLUTIONS
Combine monitoring solutions to match your project
Choose the monitoring applications that match your construction work, and combine them with complementary solutions when your project calls for a broader view.

Data Turned into Advanced Insights
Make knowledgeable decisions based on actual facts.
We provide you with one-of-a-kind insights. The data gathered by TrackBed360 is processed by our software and displayed in our Digital Service Platform as actionable insights. Insights you can act on immediately.
Insights which provide you with actual knowledge, you can use as base for your decision-making-processes throughout the project.
It is the ideal project management tool, to help you stay ahead of problems or make educated decisions on which problem needs fixing first. In other words: our software helps you to prioritize in which order problems should be handled.
Real-Time Monitoring & Predictions
You can access real-time data anytime, without any delays. If TrackBed360 registers any monitoring parameters exceeding the pre-set thresholds or due to rapid changes, the system will immediately send out a warning to you and whomever you deem relevant to get an alarm notification.
Data from our TrackBed360 solution is stored directly in our Digital Service Platform, accessible when and where you need it, 24/7. So, no matter where you are, you will be notified at once when a threshold is exceeded. This allows you to react before a small problem becomes a huge, time-consuming, dangerous, or expensive issue.

Ready to hear what our clients think?
Without the Railmonitor system, our project would have lasted several weeks longer
We were able to adapt our work processes to the actual condition of the active railway next to the construction area – allowing us to optimize our work processes
The system is easy to set up, since it’s completely wireless, and gives us a real-time overview of the track position
The system is reliable and delivers data consistently – even during the winter when we had 20 centimeters of snow laying on the railway
