Rail Inspection / Observation
Specialized expertise helps you manage track safety.
Understanding your track’s condition and having a preventive maintenance plan can help keep your team safe and limit operational downtime.
Your facility likely has
a regular maintenance schedule. How about your rail?
These complex systems – bearing thousands of tons – include problem-causing variables that can lead to lost productivity (or worse). VAA’s in-depth understanding of interfacility rail requirements and close working relationships with major railroads can be valuable assets in proactive rail inspection and help prevent minor issues from becoming major problems.
