Railroad Bridge Inspection Software

The trackAsset bridge inspection software is the number one choice of bridge inspectors. Through the user friendly application, inspectors are able to inspect their bridges while meeting every FRA electronic system requirement. The inspection software will enhance and compliment a railroad’s bridge management program.

Features

Configurable Bridge Setup
In trackAsset, the approach to setting up a bridge begins with breaking the bridge into components that include the superstructure, substructure, track, and with each of those the ability to go span by span on the bridge.
Superstructure can be structured by through deck plate girders, ballast decks, and etcetera.
Substructure setup includes components like the abutments, which can have wingwalls, backwalls, bridge seats, footing, and etcetera.
By going through the bridge span by span defects can be measured by different effects that may be exclusive to that span. This also allows inspectors to have the same process currently used to inspect the bridges.
The track component includes the approach and the deck. Within each of these the bridge stores data like rail type, size, rail anchor information, surface and alignment, ties, and etcetera.
General conditions for the bridge include things pertaining to paint, cleanliness, and other top level information important to a specific bridge.
Ultimately the system allows any customer to build out their bridge how they want to see them and ultimately, inspect them.
Intuitive Bridge Inspection Scheduling – Through the dashboard, users have the ability to quickly access and complete inspections based on inspection due dates.
Supervisor Visibility & Accountability – With activity logs and manageable inspection reports customizable to each customer’s needs, Bridge inspections can become more accurate and efficient with an engaged supervisor.
Photo/Document Library – Have photos of the bridge and files related to each bridge and inspection.
User Friendly Tablet Based Inspections – Inspectors able to easily complete inspections without the paperwork.

Why switch to the system?

The solution is the best on the market for completing inspections and for ease of use. Railroading may be behind the times as it relates to technology but with this bridge inspection software, users have the ability to jump ahead of the curve. Through current customers, Railroad Software understands the pains of older software systems and using paper and pen forms.

This Bridge Inspection Software is built for:

FRA Accessibility

The FRA will be given a login to the system so they can ensure all inspections have been completed properly. This means no more stacks of paper to sort through or lost forms to track down.

Current Customers

Even with the solution being new on the market, the solution has seen great interest since going to market. With around to 2,000 Bridges being inspected through our system.

Implementation and Training

Through experience with other customers using the system, implementation can be finished efficiently with the right data.
A list of all bridges, their locations, and the specific information the railroad wants to track and inspect speeds up the process.
Once all bridges are in the system, training will start with supervisors and administrators also allowing for a full review of the system. After this training is completed the supervisors can choose to train their inspectors and employees or contact Railroad Software to train those personnel as well.
