L.B. Foster's Bridge Strike Monitoring system is in use with HD CCTV cameras to display on demand both leading edge bridge damage, under beam damage to rivet detail and view a mechanical ‘tell-tale’ which indicates deck displacement from 3mm.
Any reported bridge strike incident requires line speed to be dropped until a bridge engineer inspects the bridge for movement / damage. Fines for delays from train operators can be many £1000’s Operational Safety cannot be compromised meaning structural integrity must be confirmed following strike.
The system has been installed as a pilot across 62 bridges nationwide in the UK for NWR. (Some 434 Axis HD 720 Cameras in total).
