CPR Signs Contract for ENSCO's DGRMS
ENSCO has won a commercial contract for its patented Deployable
Gage Restraint Measurement System from Canadian Pacific Railway. CPR awarded ENSCO the contract based on ENSCO's patented and proven
technology for testing track strength, a technology that locates bad ties and fasteners in the track. ENSCO and Plasser and Theurer of
Linz, Austria, jointly developed the unique suspension that makes deployable GRMS possible in a railbound high-speed test
car.
"Winning this contract shows the value that commercial railroad companies place on using advanced technology to improve safety and
their operational efficiency. It also fulfills ENSCO's goal to commercialize the deployable GRMS technology that was developed for the
FRA DOTX 18 self-propelled inspection car", said Project Manager Jeffrey Bloom.
