Our specialty

Rail Geometry Survey

Our Rail Geometry Survey service combines GNSS positioning, robotic total stations and track measurement trolleys to collect accurate track geometry data. We analyze critical parameters — alignment, cant, curvature, vertical profile and gauge — to catch deviations before they become safety risks.

  • Alignment

    Horizontal line

  • Cant

    Rail superelevation

  • Curvature

    Curve radii

  • Gauge

    Distance between rails

  • Vertical profile

    Longitudinal level

  • Result

    A safe, compliant network

In the air

Advanced Drone Pilot Services

Our advanced drone pilot services deliver high-resolution aerial imagery and complete site data. Ideal for quickly covering large areas — rail corridors, construction sites, structures — without putting crews at risk.

  • Photogrammetry and georeferenced orthophotos
  • Point clouds and 3D models
  • Volume calculations and site progress tracking
  • Corridor and structure inspection
  • Advanced drone operations
  • Fast data delivery
