Wood Tie Grading

Do you feel comfortable that all of your tie inspectors are grading ties the same way? Use Aurora to do spot checks for quality control.

Aurora uses a proprietary, sophisticated grading method that is uniformly applied to each and every tie. Several factors are considered when assigning a grade value to a tie. Aurora analyzes the surface of wood ties and identifies the size, length, location of cracks. The “roughness” of the surface is evaluated. Vertical plate cut is measured. Signs of rot are assessed. All of these factors influence the assignment of a tie grade. Up to four tie grades can be used.

Aurora offers a consistent and fast inspection tool that will complement your traditional walking tie inspectors. Use Aurora to create the highest level view to know where to most effectively deploy your walking tie inspectors or use Aurora to grade areas that your walking inspectors won’t get to this year.
