Detailed Rail Surveying Solutions for Contractors & Railway Operators
Rail Infrastructure
Ensure Rail Infrastructure Maintains Operational Specifications & Construction Design
Summit Infrastructure is proud to provide a range of railway surveying services to ensure rail infrastructure is safe and operational according to designs and specifications.
Although rail design engineers design railways with the highest accuracy, tracks can move during construction and infrastructure can degrade over time. At Summit Infrastructure, we can perform rail surveys at your site during construction, post-construction or as part of regular maintenance to find faults that could impede rail operations.
We leverage the most advanced technology in the industry, including drones and laser scans, to complete surveys efficiently and accurately.


SERVICES
Our Railway Surveying Services
We have the expertise and knowledge to offer the following rail surveying services.
Drone Surveys
We use the latest technology to provide aerial surveys at all stages of construction and operations: high-resolution orthomosaic & 3d imaging combined with automated detection of tie condition, skew & spacing. Track gauge, joint bar condition along with lineside infrastructure condition can all be measured and imaged using our drones.
Industrial Track Surveys & Inspections
We conduct detailed surveys of track geometry to ensure existing tracks haven’t shifted and new tracks meet the design specifications throughout construction. Suitable for industrial tracks to ensure that compliance with provincial standards is maintained.
Laser Sweep Surveys
We perform clearance analysis by scanning the track and surrounding infrastructure to ensure that trains can fit through tunnels or past other infrastructure. Available for both LRT and Class 1 railways across Canada.
Culvert Surveys
We use drones to survey culverts to ensure that they are not rusting, leaking or otherwise damaged.
BENEFITS OF Railroad Surveys
Experience the Benefits of Railroad Surveys
Boots off Ballast
Our drone surveys provide data on the state of the rail infrastructure or construction project without needing costly line closures and keep staff safe at all times.
Issue Prevention
Identify faults early to save money on more serious issues that could arise in the future.
Change Detection
Regular surveys provide you with the big picture of how your rail corridor is being affected by weather and rail traffic. By comparing survey data over time, problems can be found early and these areas are focused on with our track monitoring.
