    Brief

    This opportunity seeks an automated laser profile measurement tool for railway inspection with the following requirements: The system must be battery-powered, remotely controlled, and self-propelled, capable of autonomously inspecting railway points and crossings. It should record rail profiles at intervals no greater than 2mm and measure multiple parameters including longitudinal level, alignment, cross-level, derailment risk (five-point), chair gaps, twist measurements, track gauge, and free wheel passage. The system must detect and measure switch wear, rail wear, running edge condition, gaping switches, broken/missing sections, switch residual opening, sidewear, lipping and plastic flow. Additionally, it should perform 3D scanning of switch and crossing noses, monitor nose protection and clearances, and record comprehensive track geometry data. The device should comply with equivalent Network Rail standards NR/L2/TRK/053 and NR/L2/TRK/1054.
