Rail Temperature Monitoring Unit
During the hot weather, the Sun heats up the railway tracks.
When the rail gets hot it can twist, buckle and crack, which can then cause a train to derail, with the potential loss of life. Teams of engineers have to be deployed to manually take the temperature of the rail throughout the day.
This may also involve taking possession of the line, which means no trains can run during this period! A very costly, time consuming and dangerous exercise.
Our Rail Temperature Monitoring Unit (RTMU) installs within seconds, is very easy to use and operates 24 hours 7 days a week.
Ultimately, it negates the need for boots on ballast and mitigates the risk for loss of life!
