Gauge Corners
High levels of rail metal-to-metal wear often occurs within curved areas where wheel-to-rail contact is particularly important. Therefore, gauge corners are most prone to metal-to-metal wear. The replacement of gauge corners is costly, time consuming and very often disruptive. This becomes even more prevalent when dealing with tramline rails which are embedded into roads and pathways.
Weld restoration of worn embedded grooved rails offers a more cost-effective approach to maintenance of railroads and tram networks, when compared to replacement costs of parts. The rebuilding of gauge corners back to their original profile, extends the lifetime of the track.
