RailWorks deploys Amberg Technologies’ GRP System in New York

Swiss manufacturer Amberg Technologies said that RailWorks has taken delivery of a GRP Track Measurement System. The system has been deployed in New York and is currently being used on various transit projects for MTA. The system was purchased from Amberg's North American distribution partner, the Kara Company of Countryside, Ill.

"We are continuously
looking at new technologies that will make RailWorks more competitive, provide
better projects to our clients and ultimately help us grow our business," said
Luis Nieves, track superintendent for RailWorks. "The Amberg system is portable
and allows us to quickly check track alignment without the need of scheduling a
track geometry car. This gives us better quality control throughout the
project. It is also modular and allows us to expand its capabilities for a
variety of track construction and maintenance activities."
