Aurora Tie Marking

Tie Inspection & Services

Aurora Tie Marking

Leveraging the patented Aurora Xi® inspection data and a patent pending guidance system, Aurora Tie Marking automates the process of marking crossties that have been designated for replacement in advance of crosstie renewal projects. The guidance technology, using the Aurora collection software, works in near-real time to identify the appropriate sleeper and activates the marking system as it passes directly over the sleeper.

Safe Sleeper Marking

This hyrail-truck based platform is equipped with a paint spraying system mounted at the rear of the truck. Aurora Tie Marking is capable of marking sleepers at speeds up to 6 kilometres per hour and can paint up to four marks per sleeper, which allows for jobs to be completed faster, more efficiently and safely.
