Our experienced crews work jointly with Class I and regional railroad engineering and maintenance crews to perform combination (thermite and electric) field construction and repair welding services, as well as utility switch grinding.

 

Our track welding services can be built around tight work windows and train operations, so you can maintain efficient operations even when service is underway.

We use data to identify track geometry issues, so you can take action before they result in disruptions or delays. Powerful software allows our technicians to monitor risks in real-time, while vehicle platform options adapt to your rail environment and provide the flexibility your system demands.

 

If an issue is found, it’s automatically marked via GPS, so you’re never left guessing about where repairs or modifications should start. This makes for an easier track management experience across the board.
