Rail Specific Rigs
 
Lankelma has developed rigs specifically to work with the restrictions of the rail environment: the Rail Truck (above) overcomes the obstacle of short weekday possessions;  the 360 Road Rail plant performs site investigations in the hardest-to-access areas, whilst the mobile rams can test tunnel walls at any angle.

About cone penetration testing

Rail instrumentation 
  
We use our hydraulic rigs  to install a wide range of geotechnical instrumentation.  This push-in method causes minimal disturbance to the ground and can provide technically superior installations.  High productivity is also achieved, with in excess of 150m per day achievable.
