Overhead Cable Inspection

Requirement:

With Metrum's reputation as a leading supplier of railway measurement and monitoring equipment, the Company has been asked to research electrical problems on the overhead cabling systems and associated equipment.  Electrical connections are susceptible to corrosion and high resistance which can cause problems with performance and eventually breakdowns.

Solution:

Inspecting the lines from a safe distance while the lines are active using an Infrared Thermal Camera is easy, safe and non disruptive.  Using a GPS position and local markings Metrum is able to work with rail engineers to fully document the areas inspected and detail any problems found.  Systems can also be mounted on the train or in a helicopter.

Outcome:

Routine preventative maintenance ensures that Maintenance Departments can provide maximum availability of services ultimately benefiting the travelling public.
