+REM Georadar Measurements - RGM : Automated system for georadar (ground-penetrating radar) roadbed inspection REM GEOSCANNER is intended to provide the following solutions:
- determining thickness and lithologic structure of the ballast bed discriminating the fouled subgrade layer and increased moisture areas;
- localizing the upper boundary of roadbed soils and their lithologic structure;
- discriminating low coherence areas in the roadbed featured by reduced density and increased moisture;
- revealing foreign objects in the roadbed and ballast bed, viz., cables, buried track superstructure components (crossties, rails), large stones, etc.
- localizing engineering facilities;
- localizing areas with laid geotextile or expanded polystyrene;
- inspection of quality of the accomplished track overhaul.
The objective of this method of investigation is to determine the pollution within the ballast bed and the mixture of ballast with the subsoil. It is also possible to locate water traps. The qualitative measurement of the water content in the subsoil enables the existing drainage quality to be assessed. By comparing the condition before and after the rehabilitation, it was possible to make a quality assessment of the formation rehabilitation work performed.
Technology
The REM Georadar Measurements - RGM is state of the art for GPR systems. It is based on more than 20 years of working experience with GPR and it is the product of continuous development and adaptation to the specific requirements of our international railway customers.
- Survey of tracks of any length or even of the entire railway network.
- High speed survey of 900 track kilometres per run.
- 2,000 scans per second.
- Each channel is controlled separately, allowing even speeds of more than 300 kph.
- Three or even more longitudinal profiles provide track cross section at any position.
- Measurement only between sleepers to avoid disturbances.
- Scan distance between 2 cm and 60 cm for coping with all customer requirements.
- Antennae frequencies between 100 MHz and 900 MHz for high resolution in all depths.
- System-embedded positioning radar for accurate allocation of all measuring data along the entire track. Accuracy better than 0.5 m.
- System-integrated DGPS for reception of world wide satellite systems GPS and GLONASS. Correction data for GPS via GSM or EGNOS for an accuracy better than 0.3 m.
- Displaying of survey track and all constructions in Google Earth.
- System-integrated Video-camera for continuous view of survey track.
- System-specific Viewer-programme for display of the GPR results related to the geotechnical conditions of the track, including Google-Earth-view and Video-camera-pictures.
The RGM survey provides continuous details of track conditions. Railway engineers obtain important information about:
- Thickness of track bed and sub-ballast layer.
- Sections with clean or fouled ballast.
- Drainage problems in ballast bed and undertrack.
- Mapping of load-bearing problems (settlements, ballast pockets).
- Anomalies along the track.

RGM - Radargram with longitudinal profile of track section
The picture shows a track section between km 11.100 and km 11.700.
In that section the ballast has been renewed to a depth of 0.3 m. Below, there is fouled ballast (dark grey layer). Ballast settlements indicate insufficient bearing capacity of the sandy formation. Below the sandy layer, a drilling at km 11.450 is showing peat and clay.

The picture shows a track section between km 1.300 and km 1.900 (see horizontal axis). The vertical axes represent both depth in m related to top of sleepers and travel time of the waves in nanoseconds.
In that section the ballast has been renewed to a depth of 0.5 m (pale grey layer). Below, there is fouled ballast (dark grey layer). Ballast settlements can be seen between km 1.460 and 1.570. This is an indication for insufficient bearing capacity of the sandy subgrade (yellow layer). Below the sandy formation there is clay to be found. Between km 1.600 and km 1.900 the clay layer is almost adjacent to the ballast bed. In this section, a well working drainage is important. Otherwise water will remain inside the track, leading to eventual stability problems of the track.
The picture shows crossings at km 1.370 and km 1.870. Drillings have been carried out at km 1.550 and km 1.740. In both cases ground water has been found in a depth of 1.2 m.
Quality control of track construction
Track construction is always very cost-intensive. That's why at least the result should add up. Our quality control is continuous and exact. And we provide information about:
- Quality of new ballast (cleanliness).
- Thickness of track bed and sub-ballast layer.
- Efficiency of track drainage.
- Evenness of ballast-bed bottom or sub-ballast layer.
- Track cross-section.

+REM Laser
Using a REM laser system (levelling and lining laser) with a REMTECH tamper, gives the opportunity for simultaneous measurement of alignment and longitudinal level faults using a dot laser beam which strikes a laser receiver camera.
With this REM system the measurement speed is designed to meet the optimal speed and stability ratio for both measurement drive and working drive of the REMTECH tamping machines, giving best possible accuracy for the measurement and long measurement distance for each drive.
The Laser device uses very high measurement speed (over 500 measurements for second) to produce profile data for the curves when it is used with measurement coaches. The system allows to control the geometry of the railway in several hundreds of meters ahead of the operating REMTECH tamper, giving a resolution of up to 0.01% of the measuring range.
Additional option: By wish of the client, there is an option for the REM Laser transmitter trolley to be made fully self – propelling with full REM Remote Control from the control cabin of the REMTECH tamper. This gives opportunity to fully eliminate the need of additional staff on positioning of the levelled section of the отсечка railway.

+REM TM-System - REM TM-System represents a System intended to increase the working speed of the REMTECH and Plasser tamping machine.
As of 2011, the REMTECH Track-Laying Machines have been using the REM TM-System track measuring system for pre-measuring for REMTECH and Plasser tamping machines. The innovative system records the data digitally and forwards the values to the REM computer of the tamping machines in digital flow.
REM TM-System benefits:
- High productive pre-measuring system for tamper;
- Compact and cordless;
- Storage of all relevant railway measurement values;
- Continuous data flow;
- Cost reduction due to high efficiency and railway staff reduction;
The measuring equipment is operated by two persons. After storing information in a file, the measurement basis is set up. A radio link between wagons ensures data exchange. The first fixed point of the measuring chord is then defined. The tachymeter wagon then rolls to the next point and the measuring procedure is repeated. After the wagon has been moved to the chainage of the first fixed point, the distance between the wagons is measured. The REM prismatic wagon gradually moves towards the tachymeter wagon. At the same time, the displacement and lift values of the track are calculated based on the track's design axis and the data is saved every five metres.
The railway operator copies the data from the field computer onto a USB stick, imports it into the software on their laptop and creates the tamping file with lifting and aligning values, which they then transfer onto a tamping disc of the REM or Plasser machine. In addition, it can also define the superelevations and track gauge.
