Automated Stress Free Temperature (SFT) Indentifcation

Network Rail is seeking to understand market interest and readiness to deliver an automated solution for identifying Stress-Free Temperature (SFT) across its continuously welded rail (CWR) infrastructure. Track buckling due to thermal stress remains a critical safety risk. Network Rail seeks a reliable, automated method to measure SFT across its CWR network to support preventative maintenance and asset management. This initiative supports Network Rail’s goals for digital innovation, safety assurance, and predictive...
