Our Maintenance & Inspection Services
We provide a complete range of services to maintain your Utah rail lines in optimal condition, supporting the uninterrupted flow of industrial and commercial traffic from the Wasatch Front to remote mining regions.
Comprehensive Track Inspection
Regular, methodical inspections are the cornerstone of a safe and compliant rail system. Our qualified inspectors utilize proven methodologies to detect and identify defects before they can escalate into significant safety or operational issues.
- Routine and Detailed Inspections: We conduct systematic evaluations to ensure full compliance with FRA standards and company-specific requirements.
- Joint Bar and Switch Inspection: Our teams perform focused assessments of critical components like joints and switches to prevent failures at high-stress points, particularly in areas with significant temperature variations.
- Ultrasonic Rail Flaw Detection: We utilize advanced testing to identify internal rail defects that are not visible during standard visual inspections.
Proactive Track Maintenance
Our maintenance programs are specifically designed to counteract the effects of heavy tonnage and the severe weather factors common in Utah, ensuring long-term durability and peak performance.
-
- Track Surfacing and Tamping: We restore correct track geometry and surface to provide a stable roadbed, reducing wear on track components and rolling stock.
- Tie Replacement Programs: Our crews systematically replace ties damaged by moisture and temperature cycles to maintain proper gauge and structural integrity.
- Rail Replacement programs. Jointed or CWR, standard or fixed track, our experienced crews and equipment are prepared to replace worn, defective, or end-bent rail quickly.
- Rail Grinding and Lubrication: We manage the wheel/rail interface to mitigate the effects of friction and wear, extending rail life and improving operational efficiency in challenging grades.
- Ballast Maintenance: Services include ballast cleaning, regulating, and tamping to ensure proper drainage and load distribution—critical for managing snowmelt and preventing subgrade softening.
- Vegetation and Snow Management: We manage growth and snow accumulation along the right-of-way to maintain clear sightlines, safe access, and infrastructure integrity year-round.
