• Rail Base Corrosion - Chipping Analysis

Rail seat abrasion is a dangerous condition, and pinpointing damage for quick repairs is crucial to safety and productivity. Aurora uses 3D scans to identify worn and degraded pads and concrete Rail Seat Abrasion, pinpointing problem areas for immediate action, and helping you stretch your budget by prioritizing those areas.

How does it work?

Aurora uses advanced shape recognition and edge-detection routines to analyze 3D images. Then Aurora reads these images to determine the vertical distance between the base of the rail and the surface of each concrete tie. Using customer specifications, Aurora generates exception reports, identifying and precisely locating degraded ties.
