KHEERAN Corporation provides precise track geometry measurement in Canada for freight, passenger and industrial railways. Our hi-rail systems capture gauge, alignment, cross-level, twist and surface continuously along your subdivision. As a result, Canadian railway owners see exactly where geometry is deteriorating — and why.
Track Geometry Measurement in Canada: Why It Matters
Canadian track fights frost heave, spring thaw and heavy unit-train traffic. These forces produce twist, surface and alignment defects that grow quickly if untreated. Consequently, regular track geometry measurement in Canada is essential for both safety and budget planning. Geometry data is evaluated against the Transport Canada Rules Respecting Track Safety, with exceptions classified by the resulting class of track.
Measurement Methods That Work in Harsh Weather
KHEERAN measures from hi-rail vehicles using chord-based and space-curve approaches, sampled at fine intervals. Mechanical gauge contact performs reliably in snow, rain and vegetation. In addition, every reading is referenced to your chainage and GPS. A Track Quality Index rates each segment good, average or poor within its class. Furthermore, run-over-run comparison reveals the deterioration rate of every kilometre.
What Your Geometry Campaign Delivers
Deliverables are built for maintenance planners:
- Geometry brush charts with flagged defects by chainage.
- Exception and curve-analysis lists with peak value, length and location.
- KML maps and CSV data for your asset systems.
- Limiting-speed analysis and Track Quality Index trending.
Moreover, combining geometry with our GPR data pairs each defect with its root cause — fouled ballast, trapped water or formation problems.
Canada-Wide Campaigns, Decision-Ready Reports
KHEERAN runs geometry campaigns across Canada, from single subdivisions to network programs. Explore our rail track geometry service, then contact KHEERAN to scope your track geometry measurement in Canada.
