Rail & Transit

Every span and axle proven for the loaded train.

Chief bridge engineers, track supervisors, and mechanical officers keep each Part 237 bridge inspection, Part 213 track defect, and wheelset NDT call on one signed record, from FRA territory to EN and UIC networks.

Where it runs

Every span keeps its rating, every milepost its defect log, and every axle its measurement history on one record.

Rail inspection programs

The programs you already run, with evidence that holds.

A bridge rating stays current, a defect closes to its milepost, and an axle history follows the serial. Each module does one job against the standard your teams are measured on.

  1. 011 / 2

    Condition held per span and milepost

    intelliINSPECT captures 49 CFR Part 237 bridge inspections and Part 213 track defects offline in the field, with condition ratings, photos, and inspector sign-off held per span and milepost. UIC 778 assessment covers networks outside FRA territory.

    A crack that carries its measurement history

    intelliNDT holds UT and PAUT results on axles, wheelsets, and bogie welds against the serialized component, to AAR interchange rules and UIC 960 practice, so every indication carries a measurement history instead of a shop note.

  2. 022 / 2

    Protection records tied to the work

    intelliCOMPLY captures job briefings, track access permits, and roadway worker protection records under 49 CFR Part 214 with user, timestamp, and signature, tied to the work they protected.

    Signatures the audit confirms

    intelliCREW tracks Part 237 bridge inspector designations and ISO 9712 NDT certifications with levels and expiries, so every finding is signed by a current, qualified inspector.

One rail record

One finding runs from the milepost to the audit, with its field timestamp intact.

A day on the territory

One finding, from milepost to audit.

  1. 01

    Capture at the bridge

    An inspector walks a fracture-critical truss two hours past the last signal. Members, photos, and ratings go into intelliINSPECT offline and sync at the depot, timestamped from the field, not the office.

  2. 02

    Verdict at the depot

    A UT indication on an axle recomputes the component's disposition in intelliNDT. The defect routes to an owner with a Part 213 remedial action and due date, and the speed restriction goes on the record, not in a phone call.

  3. 03

    Proof at the audit

    When the FRA or the national safety authority asks, the bridge file, the defect log, and the axle history export as one query, every entry carrying user, timestamp, and signature.

Answers

Rail & Transportation Infrastructure questions

01Does intelliSPEC support FRA bridge safety standards under 49 CFR Part 237?

Yes. Bridge inspections are captured as structured records inside your Part 237 bridge management program, with condition ratings, dates, and inspector sign-off held per span. The inspection cycle is tracked so no structure runs past due.

02How do FRA Part 213 track inspections work in intelliSPEC?

Track, rail, and turnout defects are logged against 49 CFR Part 213 by class of track and milepost. Each defect carries a remedial action, an owner, and a due date, with closeout evidence attached to the same record.

03Can intelliSPEC manage wheelset and axle inspections for rolling stock?

Yes. UT and PAUT results on axles, wheels, and bogie welds are held against the serialized component to AAR interchange rules and UIC 960 practice, so every indication carries a measurement history that survives shop handoffs.

04Does intelliSPEC handle roadway worker protection and track access records?

Yes. Job briefings, track access permits, and protection records under 49 CFR Part 214 are captured in intelliCOMPLY with user, timestamp, and signature, tied to the work they protected.

05What software do railroads use to manage bridge inspection records?

A railroad's bridge management program has to satisfy 49 CFR Part 237, which means per-span inspection records, qualified inspector designations, and traceable follow-up. intelliSPEC structures all three on one record, captured offline where the bridges actually are.

06Does intelliSPEC work for rail networks outside the United States?

Yes. The same record runs to EN and UIC practice, including UIC 778 bridge assessment and EN 13848 track geometry quality, and supports the maintenance traceability an ECM certified under EU 2019/779 has to demonstrate.

07Can bridge and track inspectors work offline on remote subdivisions?

Yes. intelliINSPECT captures findings, photos, and ratings with no signal and syncs when the crew is back in coverage, keeping the field timestamp so the record shows when the inspection actually happened.
