Rail Track Monitoring at Coomera, Australia
Coomera, Australia
Project duration: Started November 2024, ongoing
Along the full Coomera rail section, continuous monitoring is performed to assess the stability of the track bedding. The system detects horizontal movements caused by G-forces and thermal expansion. Since its launch in November 2024, the monitoring has captured small but relevant displacements, including a horizontal shift of approximately 2 cm.
Fast, continuous insight into track stability, enabling safe operability, accurate speed restrictions and reduced liability exposure.
Project Purpose
The project aims to identify structural movements in the rail bedding at an early stage, ensuring safety, availability and long-term performance of the track. Frequent and precise measurements enable operators to take action whenever thresholds or stability criteria are exceeded.
Implemented Solution
Twelve Locator One units were installed along the rail section, recording 24 measurements per day. The data stream is processed through a single reference station, enabling accurate position and height monitoring. Short logging intervals and consistent measurements create a reliable picture of daily and seasonal railbed movements.
