Geomatic Technologies - Advanced Mobile and Spatial Technology for Railways

Geomatic Technologies (GT) is a recognised leader in advanced mobile and spatial technologies, and is among Australia’s leading providers of IT integrated solutions and services.

Our extensive rail portfolio includes solutions and services for asset capture, condition monitoring, workforce mobility, spatial data infrastructures and web-based visualisation. We are experienced in addressing the infrastructure management requirements of railway owners and operators, and empower railway managers and engineers with accurate and authoritative asset data.

Corridor asset capture services

GT’s corridor asset capture services deliver network-wide asset data with accurate location and spatial content. Asset capture is particularly important for:

• Establishing an accurate asset database for effective asset management
• Reporting on asset condition
• Populating asset management systems with accurate asset information
• Maintaining asset databases after major periodical maintenance and capital works

Track geometry and ride quality services

We integrate market-leading technologies into solutions and services that are configured to meet the varying needs of our railway clients.

We offer a complete end-to-end condition monitoring service, mobilisation on client high-rail or track-recording car, and mobilisation on in-service rolling stock.

Track alignment surveys for rail

The track centreline is a fundamental railway dataset. All other information such as trackside assets, property and utility easements, and operational tools such as grade and curve books are defined by their relationship to the track.

Modern day track geometry measurement systems, automatic train protection and mobile computing platforms also benefit from having an accurate track centreline to report against. We have processed thousands of kilometres of track data to build complete, contiguous track alignments defined by grade, tangent, fixed-radius and transition lengths.

Network wide laser profile surveys

Laser data of railway networks can be used for a number of applications, including kinematic analysis, tunnel clearance reports, platform clearance audits and structure gauge analysis. We offer our clients laser measurement solutions, as well as provide measurement services.

Mechanised track patrol (MTP) for railways

MTP consists of an array of high-resolution, digital cameras and positioning systems that record corridor, rail and track imagery on a conventional track recording vehicle.

Track patrollers then conduct their track patrol in the safety of an office environment using an easy-to-use software application that allows them to record and action defects for rectification.

Enterprise mobility for railways

GT has a long and successful track record in helping organisations to mobilise business processes. We use best-of-breed technologies to deliver flexible, scalable solutions on a range of mobile devices.

Our solutions incorporate leading technologies for device management and data exchange, while also meeting the challenge of working in both connected and unconnected environments.

Modern spatial infrastructures for railway enterprises

GT is an expert in developing and supporting modern spatial infrastructures for enterprises. We believe that good spatial data infrastructure should support the decoupling or loose coupling of business systems, allowing them to be more cost effective to deploy and easier to maintain.

Web-based mapping for rail

GT integrates market-leading technologies and services into visualisation solutions that arm railway decision makers with the power and insight of spatial intelligence. We are experts in the rapid creation and deployment of web-based mapping solutions that are easy to use and provide fast results, often transforming how decision makers use and view corporate information.
