A reliable railway starts with accurate rail geometry assessment. KHEERAN Corporation provides comprehensive geometry assessment services for railway owners, operators, and maintenance teams worldwide. As a result, clients have the precise condition data they need to maintain track within safe operating limits — and to plan proactive maintenance before defects escalate into costly failures.
What Rail Geometry Assessment Measures
Rail geometry assessment measures the geometric condition of track systematically. Key parameters include gauge, cross-level, alignment, longitudinal profile, and twist. Furthermore, deviations from design geometry create dynamic loading forces that accelerate wheel and rail wear. Moreover, if left unaddressed, these defects increase derailment risk and reduce passenger comfort significantly.
KHEERAN’s Rail Geometry Assessment Method
KHEERAN uses precision measurement systems mounted on hi-rail vehicles. Therefore, continuous data collection is possible at operational survey speeds. Additionally, our inertial-based systems capture every deviation along the corridor — not just sampled locations. As a result, you receive a complete, unbiased record of your track’s geometric condition — far more comprehensive than manual chord-and-offset measurements.
Integrated with Ballast Investigation
Furthermore, KHEERAN combines rail geometry assessment with multi-frequency GPR ballast investigation in a single survey pass. Consequently, geometry defects are correlated directly with underlying substructure conditions. This integrated approach enables root-cause maintenance — addressing the source of defects, not just the symptoms. Moreover, it maximises the value of each track access opportunity. Contact KHEERAN today to schedule your rail geometry assessment.
Regulatory Alignment in KHEERAN’s Rail Geometry Assessment
KHEERAN’s rail geometry assessment services align with track safety standards set by the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), Transport Canada, and AREMA. Furthermore, all geometry defect classifications and exceedance flags are referenced directly to the applicable regulatory thresholds — giving railway owners a clear, defensible basis for maintenance scheduling. Additionally, KHEERAN’s assessment reports include maintenance priority rankings aligned with regulatory intervention timelines. Consequently, railway owners can plan remediation work with confidence, knowing that KHEERAN’s rail geometry assessment results meet the standards required by their regulatory authority.
