It is widely recognised and well documented that one of the top two infrastructure causes of train delay in the UK rail network is the ubiquitous 'points failure'. Network Rail has established that on a national basis the average failure rates of existing
Track engineers often encounter
conflicting demands when designing
a track system. On the one hand
they seek uncompromised track
stability ensuring safety and comfort
for the passengers and low
maintenance cost for the track
owner; on the other
The ballast layer is designed to distribute the loading force of a passing train evenly over the formation layer to preserve a smooth
ride. The ballast also acts as a drainage layer to prevent significant accumulations of moisture. The optimum ballast
The ability to record high-speed GPR data on a
repeatable basis offers a permanent-way engineer
numerous benefits, including optimised targeting
and scoping of site investigations, better planning of
ballast-maintenance activities, more accurate
