KHEERAN Corporation delivers accurate track geometry measurement in the USA for Class I railroads, short lines and transit agencies. Our hi-rail systems continuously record gauge, alignment, cross-level, twist and surface. Consequently, American railroads get a complete geometry picture of every mile surveyed.
Track Geometry Measurement in the USA: Why It Matters
Geometry defects drive slow orders, derailment risk and maintenance cost. Therefore, regular track geometry measurement in the USA is fundamental to safe operations. KHEERAN evaluates every exception against FRA 49 CFR Part 213 track safety standards. Exceptions are classified by the resulting class of track, and serious two-class drops are flagged immediately.
Proven Measurement Methods, Fine Sampling Intervals
We measure from hi-rail vehicles using chord-based (mid-chord ordinate) and space-curve approaches. Mechanical gauge contact performs in adverse weather and vegetation. Additionally, every data point carries a milepost and GPS reference. A Track Quality Index rates each segment within its class. As a result, run-over-run comparison shows exactly how fast each mile is deteriorating.
What Your Geometry Campaign Delivers
Your maintenance team receives:
- Brush charts with flagged geometry defects by milepost.
- Exception and curve-analysis lists with peak values and locations.
- KML maps and CSV exports for asset management systems.
- Limiting-speed and Class+1 analysis for capital planning.
Furthermore, pairing geometry results with our GPR substructure data separates surface defects from problems caused by fouled ballast or trapped water.
Nationwide Coverage, One Point of Contact
