What we offer

DYWIDAG delivers advanced rail monitoring solutions to enhance safety, optimize efficiency, and extend infrastructure longevity. From ground movement detection to track alignment monitoring, our systems deliver reliable, real-time insights. With our technologies and specialized services, we empower rail operators to address challenges, reduce costs, and ensure compliance with safety standards.

01 Specialist rope access: Our rope access-trained and certified technicians offer a safe, cost-effective, and versatile alternative to traditional access methods, ensuring efficient installations in challenging environments.

02 Void monitoring: Our void monitoring solutions detect sudden changes in ballast beneath the railway track, providing early warnings of potential ground movement to help prevent issues before they arise.

03 Ground monitoring: Our ground monitoring solutions assess soil and rock stability by measuring ground inclination, pore water pressures, and deformation, helping detect movement and ensure the safety and stability of your infrastructure and its surrounding environment.

04 Rail tunnel monitoring: Our tunnel monitoring solutions track internal kinematic envelope movements, monitor portal face cracks and rotation, and identify strengthening needs to ensure safety and stability over time.

05 Track geometry monitoring: We offer track alignment monitoring to detect cant, tilt, and twist variations, ensuring track stability and safety. Our rail geometry monitoring identifies irregularities and deformations for early intervention and optimal rail network performance.

06 Slope monitoring: We install integrated cameras and Smart Tilt sensors on ground posts to monitor subsidence over time and detect changes in response to dynamic events, ensuring timely intervention and stability.

07 Rail temperature monitoring: We monitor rail temperature variations to identify areas prone to thermal expansion or contraction, helping detect potential deformations or buckling before they impact rail safety and performance.
