Grinding technique specifically targeting and smoothing out corrugation, or wave-like distortions, on the surface of rail tracks.

The use of systems installed on regular operational trains or dedicated vehicles to provide ongoing assessment of track condition.

This technique involves removing dirt, dust, and debris from the ballast to maintain track stability and drainage.

A non-destructive testing method using high-frequency sound waves to detect internal flaws in the rail tracks.

Replacing jointed tracks with continuous welded rails to reduce maintenance and improve ride smoothness.

Management of plant life around tracks seeing to minimize obstruction and potential hazards to safe rail operation.

The process of removing fouled ballast from beneath the tracks and replacing it with clean ballast for better drainage and stability.

Marking out the correct track geometry before maintenance work, ensuring precise adjustments to the track alignment.

Rail Grinding is the process of removing irregularities and imperfections from the surface of rail tracks to extend their life and improve ride comfort.

Replacing old or damaged railway sleepers (ties) with new ones to restore track support and alignment.

The usage of specially equipped inspection cars to survey tracks for internal and surface defects using advanced technology.

Tamping involves lifting and correcting the alignment of track to ensure stability and smoothness of train movement.

The process of identifying and fixing surface cracks, holes, and other detectable flaws on rail tracks to prevent rail failure.

A welding method for joining rail sections using a molten metal created from a thermite reaction, ensuring a continuous and smooth rail surface.

Securing rails to the sleepers to prevent unwanted longitudinal rail movements and to maintain track gauge.

The process of alleviating built-up stresses in continuous welded rails caused by temperature changes.

The process of bending rails back into their correct shape to ensure smooth train operations and track longevity.

Adjusting the track gauge to be slightly wider on curves to reduce flange friction and wear on trains and improve stability.

The process of maintenance involving the cutting and drilling of baseplates for fixing rails to sleepers or supporting structures.

Grinding of the switch or turnout components to restore the proper profile and remove irregularities.

Upgrading or replacing the electrical components of track circuits which are crucial for signaling and train detection.

A comprehensive process that includes replacement of rails, sleepers and ballast to rejuvenate aging track infrastructure.

A process that applies vertical and lateral forces to the track after maintenance to simulate train loading and settle the ballast bed.

Setting and maintaining the correct position of the fouling point within the railway turnout where vehicles standing must clear to avoid obstruction.
