- measuring and inspection of rails, overhead wire, track condition and related issues
- analysis and diagnostics of rail faults and conditions
- data processing of huge amounts of measured data
- integrated monitoring of infrastructure
- system integration of measuring equipment, localization of rail faults
- replacing of manual inspection (e.g. dangerous foot patrol) by automatic trainbased methods, implementation procedures together with customers
- advise for maintenence and renewal (strategies)
This expertise is frequently and generously shared with the customer usually in connection with bigger projects of infrastructure inspection. Our policy is to capitalize this skills and expertise. Consultancy is performed by the senior research and production professionals of Eurailscout.

- Advices for safety condition of the track.
- Monitoring of effects of measures taken.
- Advices for improvement of efficiency in infrastructure maintenance.
- Replacing manual inspections by testing with measuring trains.
Examples of currently running projects:
- Replacing visual inspection of RCF (rolling contact fatigue) defects by train inspection.
- Trainbased video inspection of railway yards.
- EU projects: „Catimon“ (fault detection at pantograph) „Infraclear“ (automated clearance profile check and calculation)
- Implementation of Handheld PC’s for rail testing reporting and rail fault localisation
- Friction prediction (R&D)
- Monitoring influence of grease on development of rail defects like RCF and corrugation (R&D)
- Feasibility study regarding Serbian and Montenegro Railways
Eurailscout usually offers projects based on fixed prices. If the estimation of costs and risks are too uncertain upfront an offer is made based upon a tariff per hour and calculation afterwards.
