rail survey

Active Survey have invested heavily in equipment and software to streamline our services in the rail industry.

We currently own and operate two Trimble GEDO trolleys, which are one of the industry’s most accurate and efficient ways to capture rail data.

With our two rail systems, we can adapt the make up to suit any application.

Trimble GEDO Active Survey Kiwirail Discussion

gedo configurations

  • GNSS with IMU – for long sections of accurate relative track measurement - Over 5km per hour

  • IMU with profiler – For fast & accurate absolute track measurement – 4 km per hour

  • GEDO REC – Using a traditional total station setup with a prism mounted

  • Scanner - mounted with either GNSSS, a prism, or the IMU and profiler to position scans.

tracking ahead

All three configurations come with automated gauge measurements to +/- 0.3mm accuracy and cant measurements to +/- 0.5mm accuracy.

Our GEDO trolley system along with the associated software are highly suited for use during tamping. With control already established, we can complete surveys ahead of the tamping machine and lift the trolley out of the way. The added benefit to using the IMU with profiler is that we can eliminate the need for a total station whilst maintaining accuracy and increasing productivity.
