Drillings Under Active Railways – Insights for Infrastructure Owners
WATCH WEBINAR HERE
Drillings has been carried out beneath railway tracks for years — but in Denmark, the requirement for live digital monitoring is new and increasingly expected when train traffic securely must continue above the drilling area.
In this webinar, we will share practical experience from recent projects, showing how real-time digital monitoring ensured track safety while drilling was ongoing.
You will learn:
- Why digital monitoring is now required in Denmark when drilling beneath active railways
- How real-time sensor data keeps train traffic moving safely
- Recommended alarm levels and geometry thresholds
- Lessons learned from our first Danish projects
This session is designed to share knowledge, discuss best practices, and prepare you for upcoming requirements in railway drilling projects.
Key Takeaways
-
Monitor track geometry continuously during drillings – not only through manual checks
-
Use real-time digital monitoring to detect geometry changes as they begin, not after trains have passed
-
Define clear thresholds and early-warning levels before drilling starts
-
Combine threshold-based alerts with sudden-change detection for faster response
-
Ensure alerts reach the right roles at the right time, across shifts and project phases
