Qualifications

  • TIG

    Inspection reports used for compliance and capital planning need to come from qualified inspectors.

  • CROR

    Host railways expect CROR-qualified people for flagging, protection and work in the operating environment.

  • ISN

    Procurement teams use ISNetworld scores to decide who is allowed on site.

  • eRailSafe

    Without a current eRailSafe credential, crews cannot access many CN and other host-railway sites.

Equipment used

  • Hi-rail vehicles

    Put a crew and tools on the rail for inspection, maintenance and emergency work.

  • Boom trucks

    Lift and place rail, ties, materials and components on the job.

  • Float trucks

    Move machines and heavy railway materials between yards and job sites.

Questions

Do you engineer track in-house?

CUNA lists track design services and mainline railway approvals. Until professional-engineering status is confirmed, the public description is support and coordination, not a P.Eng. offering.

Tell us about your track.

Request a quote, ask for an inspection, or call if the railway is already stopped.
