SYSTEM FOR PRE-MEASURING FOR TAMPING

KEY BENEFITS

Trimble GEDO Vorsys is an ideal tool for avoiding ballast tamping machines and work crews costly idle time in both conventional and high-speed rail tamping applications.

  • Reduce tamping time and costs with rapid delivery of data to the tamping machine.

  • Reduce track downtime for construction and maintenance.

  • Capture track 3D track position, gauge and cant in a single operation.

  • Verify track geometry with accuracy and confidence.
    Precise optical positioning and a simple, self-contained trolley provide flexibility and reliable results.

  • Import alignment design from digital or paper plans. Alignment editor lets you check design information before it goes to the job site.

  • Post-tamping measurement reduces rework and provides immediate quality control.

  • Support for industry-standard formats and protocols.

Trimble GEDO for Rail Tamping

Accurate data collection is essential for effective rail network management. Railway operators need reliable track measurement systems to carry out comprehensive surveys of their existing infrastructure.

The Trimble GEDO system provides a complete solution for efficiently measuring and documenting detailed track information.

The survey process is simplified: an operator walks alongside the track, pushing a specialised measurement trolley that gathers essential data for asset management, track realignment, GIS mapping, design work, and quality assurance.

The trolley combines all components for measurement, data collection, and operator guidance into a single, durable, weather-resistant unit, allowing the capture and storage of all critical track data in one streamlined operation.
