Machine Guidance

Specialised survey tools for construction robots

MDetail and our associates have been involved in machine control for over twenty years

  1. Earthworks and Grading

    • Guiding excavators, bulldozers, and graders to achieve the correct subgrade profile

    • Ensuring proper slopes and drainage

  2. Ballast Distribution

    • Controlling ballast spreaders to place the correct amount of ballast along the track

  3. Track Laying

    • Guiding track-laying machines to place track in the exact designed position

    • Ensuring correct track geometry, including alignment, level, and cant

  4. Tamping Operations

    • Directing tamping machines to achieve the correct track level and alignment

    • Providing real-time feedback on track position relative to the design

  5. Concrete Slab Installation

    • Guiding concrete pavers for slab track construction

    • Ensuring correct thickness and alignment of concrete slabs

We are experts in design data model preparation and precision guidance using surveying sensors.

Machine guidance is particularly valuable in railway projects due to the high precision required in track geometry. Even small deviations can significantly impact train speed, passenger comfort, and long-term maintenance needs. By using this technology, railway constructors can achieve higher quality tracks more efficiently, leading to better performing and more durable railway infrastructure.
