Image removed.Power infrastructure components that are operating too hot have the risk of interrupting train operations or even have fire risk. Additionally, water leaking in tunnels can cause continued deterioration of the concrete walls. The Thermal Imaging System (THIS) measures the temperature of all power infrastructure, right-of-way, and track components to identify both hot and cold locations.

Rail Base Corrosion

ENSCO’s Thermal Imaging System detects cold spots caused by leaking or pooling water in tunnels. The system's detection is synchronized with our Joint Bar Imaging System to aid in identifying rail base corrosion which, if undetected, can lead to broken rails.

Tunnel Wall Water Leakage

ENSCO’s Thermal Imaging System detects cold spots associated to leaking or pooling water. The THIS has the unique ability to be synchronized with other inspection systems such as machine vision to see deteriorating infrastructure conditions.

Hot Third Rail and Hot Overhead Wire

Both third rail and overhead wire systems can suffer from hot spots that can have potential fire hazard or component failure.  ENSCO’s Thermal Imaging System captures thermal images and processed with specialty algorithms to accurately identify hot spots.

Strip Chart Measurements

The ENSCO THIS has patented algorithms to process the thermal imaging data into strip charts. This allow for easy identification of hot and cold locations, correlate with other measurement and imaging systems, and overlay multiple surveys to identify changing thermal conditions.
