Rail Flaw Detection

Rail flaw detection identifies internal or surface-level defects in the track that could compromise safety or performance. This is typically carried out using specialised vehicles or handheld equipment that employ ultrasonic, electromagnetic or visual inspection technologies. These systems help detect cracks, inclusions and fatigue before they develop into critical failures, enabling preventative maintenance and reducing the risk of derailments.
