Eurailscout

EURAILSCOUT Inspection & Analysis B.V. helps railway infrastructure managers understand the condition of their networks and plan necessary maintenance. Working in the Netherlands, Denmark, Germany, France and other European countries, the company uses measurement and inspection trains alongside handheld equipment to assess tracks while minimising disruption to regular rail traffic.

Its services cover track geometry, rails, switches, overhead lines and railway signalling and safety systems. Non-contact systems measure track alignment and geometry, while ultrasonic and eddy current testing help identify internal and external rail defects. EURAILSCOUT also captures video of the track, overhead lines and surrounding infrastructure, with options for automated evaluation. Its inspections assess overhead-line position, height and wear, and systems including ATB, GSM-R, Crocodile, KVB and ERTMS.

Customers can receive collected data in their preferred format, from raw measurements to detailed reports with analysis and advice. The company also uses its SIM wagon to inspect track and switches within regular timetables.
