Meridian recently performed daily track monitoring and reporting for the Jack and Bore Crossing under the Union Pacific Railroad in rural Newton, Utah. The scope for monitoring this section included coordination employing prism targets and offsite control points. These targets were affixed by mounting the targets to the side of the rail at intervals of 0, 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 feet from the crossing with a total of 22 monitoring targets and 11 on each rail for the purpose of continuous monitoring of rail activity while keeping crews safe.
Measurements were observed remotely using our 1” total station. Rail movement, if any, was recorded in the field and submitted to RailPros to provide a smooth build for the Owner. Construction activities of the track installation were performed by NW King & Sons Construction.
