TRACK & STRUCTURAL
Track & Structural Monitoring for Clearer Maintenance Priorities
See how track and railway structures changes over time. Identify developing issues earlier and plan maintenance with greater confidence.
THE CHALLENCE
Understand the change.
Plan the right response.
Track and railway structures can develop voids, settlement, changes in support and structural movement long before problems become visible during routine inspections. Without continuous insight, it can be difficult to know where attention is needed and when to intervene.
Railmonitor helps you detect and follow these changes over time, identify developing issues and prioritise inspections and maintenance based on actual asset condition. This means fewer unnecessary site visits, better-planned maintenance and clearer documentation of how your infrastructure is performing.
TRACK GEOMETRY & VOID MONITORING
Need to monitor track geometry changes and/or track bed stability?
Railmonitor’s Digital Service Platform deliver real-time insights on cant, twist, and voids during train passage, providing a complete track health overview.
- 7-Day Foresight Lens
- 24/7 Real-time alerts & notifications
- Behavioral Notifications
- Maintaining safety
Track Geometry & Void Parameters:
- Track Geometry (cant, twist, bend)
- Void Detection (reflection during train passage)
- Adaptive Wake-Up & Interval-Based Monitoring
Recommended Integrations:
- Pair temperature monitoring to detect potential displacements & track movements.
- Use with S&Cs to optimize switch heating, activating only as needed to enhance energy efficiency and operational effectiveness.
Structural Monitoring
Stay ahead of infrastructure challenges with our advanced structural monitoring solutions, designed to ensure safety and reliability.
Powered by the Digital Service Platform.
Monitor and maintain:
- Rail Bridges: Monitors rail bridges and/or temporary rail bridges in connection with renovation projects
- Rail Tunnels: Deformations or settlements in the construction present a significant safety hazard, particularly during construction work on the tunnel itself or in its immediate surroundings
- Buildings Close to the Railway: In connection with construction near buildings, knowledge of the overall health of the structure is crucial.
BADGER EMERGENCY KIT
A Game-Changer for Railway Operators
The Badger Emergency Kit, is designed to tackle badger-related challenges while safeguarding both your railway operations and badger habitats.
- Real-Time Digital Monitoring: Stay informed with up-to-the-minute insights into badger activity along your railway network.
- Instant Alarms: Immediate alerts for any disturbances or movements, enabling quick intervention to mitigate risks.
- 7-Day Forecast: Plan ahead with predictive insights to proactively manage risks and allocate resources.
- Quick Installation: From badger sightings to fully operational digital monitoring, our kit ensures timely intervention.
Proven Success: ProRail Case Study
In August 2020, Railmonitor’s Software automatically notified Strukton Rail, responsible for track maintenance, of small movements in the track. Upon notification, Strukton Rail and ProRail inspected the site and confirmed minor settlements. Though not alarming, it was crucial to monitor the developments closely.
How it Works
Tailored Solutions for Specific Challenges
At Railmonitor, we understand that every railway infrastructure presents unique challenges. That’s why we collaborate with you to design customized solutions based on your specific needs.
Our focus is on identifying and addressing critical hotspots—areas spanning anywhere from 200 to 1000 meters where issues like unstable embankments, badgers, climate related challenges or unknown conditions could impact safety and performance.
For example, whether the goal is to:
- Accelerate train speeds,
- Stabilize or monitor an embankment, or
- Understand an unknown condition,
We recommend a targeted monitoring approach to give you the data needed to address these challenges confidently.
By using TrackBed360, you gain a clearer understanding of how your infrastructure behaves, enabling you to implement the right solutions proactively.

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
