Locomotive Track Maintenance

Locomotive Track Maintenance

We understand how important railroads are for revenue and how vital a reliable railway system is. Our railroad track maintenance technicians make certain that the track system is in excellent working condition. With the use of state-of-the-art technology and equipment by qualified inspectors and technicians, our systematic, routine railway maintenance inspections identify and prioritize any safety issues for repair.

Derailments due to poorly maintained rail systems can cause property loss, production delays, clean-up and track replacement costs. Monthly track inspections are necessary to prevent these incidents. TGS track inspectors are trained technicians who evaluate rail systems in all types of facilities. Inspectors examine the condition of all rail components, looking for many types of defects, including but not limited to the following:

Rail Condition – broken ends, excessive wear, joint gaps
Spike Condition
Tie Condition – rotted, split, level and spacing
Drainage Condition – buried rail, standing water
Vegetation, debris, and trash

Partnering with TGS to perform regular monthly inspections will identify and prioritize defects for repair is an investment in your rail network that makes financial sense.
