MORE, MORE, MORE!
KOREC Rail announces plans for Rail Live – Stand F25
The KOREC Rail theme for this years’ Rail Live event is ‘MORE, MORE, MORE! Here’s why:
More rail related solutions
KOREC Rail is renowned for delivering Trimble technology for track survey and measurement, but did you know that we also offer rail related mapping, forensics, monitoring, 3D Laser Scanning and mobile mapping solutions?
More people for you to talk to
On our stand we’ll have all the KOREC Rail team plus consultants from our monitoring and mapping business as well as Trimble Rail’s Matthew Moss.
More equipment on the stand for demonstrations
On the stand, we’ll be featuring two Trimble GEDO systems, Trimble’s MX50 Mobile Mapping System, a Trimble X7 3D Laser Scanner, a Trimble S9 high accuracy Total Station and a Trimble SX12 Scanning Total Station. We’ll also have a ‘tunnel’ and rail setup.
More giveaways
KOREC is s a proud member of the SME Climate Hub, and we have publicly committed to halving our carbon emissions (2021 baseline) by 2030 what better way to reflect this than with our Rail Live KOREC giveaways, individual mini desk top gardens & seed bombs!…and if it’s sunny, we’ll also have KOREC branded sun cream.
More
….and just when you thought we couldn’t offer anything else, don’t forget to tag @KORECrail on our LinkedIn page to win £300 worth of Greggs vouchers.
We look forward to welcoming you on stand F25.

KOREC is delighted to announce that following an expansion of the KOREC Rail team, it is better equipped than ever to showcase advances in rail survey and measurement technology:-
PWI Membership
As a new corporate member of the Permanent Way Institution, KOREC will be working closely with the organisation to provide training and upskilling with particular reference to innovative solutions to the rail industry for the construction, measurement and laying of new track and the maintenance of existing lines.
Supporting the PWI Trackwork Challenge
KOREC was also delighted to support the PWI in its recent Practical Trackwork Challenge 2022. This saw the KOREC Rail team spend two days on site at the Churnet Valley Railway, a Heritage Railway which was part of the former North Staffordshire Railways. The renewals site was located on a challenging single line approximately one mile from Froghall Station. The aim of the challenge was to provide hands-on experience of track renewals for the participants as part of their personal development.
Visit us at Rail Live 2022
KOREC Rail will also be on hand at this year’s Rail Live event (Stand G9) on 22 – 23 June at Long Marston Rail Innovation Centre, Warwickshire. Again, the aim will be on showcasing innovative Trimble technology. As well as a full range of Trimble GEDO and monitoring systems, visitors can expect to see:
Trimble GEDO GX50 – a flexible kinematic laser scanning system designed to operate with Trimble GEDO track measurement systems for clearance analysis and asset data collection. This is the first rail specific trolley solution of its kindand already in use on tracks up and down the country.
Trimble SiteVision – an easy to use Augmented Reality system that combines a low cost GNSS receiver with a Smartphone enabling users to interact with their spatial data in the context of the real world.
New Possession Management system – again using low cost GNSS and KOREC data capture software for reliable marker board recording etc.
Vegas baby!
A demonstration is by far the best way to assess new technology, so as a little extra incentive, we’re offering one lucky person the chance to join us in Las Vegas for Trimble Dimensions this November – including flights, accommodation, and entrance to the conference. To enter, all you need to do is contact a member of the KOREC Rail team and book a demo with us before mid July.
In the beautiful Staffordshire countryside lies 16.9km of preserved, standard gauge heritage railway better known as the Churnet Valley Railway. Noted for its nostalgic steam train rides and themed days out, it’s also now the destination for many KOREC customers keen to see the latest Trimble GEDO technology demonstrated on a track.
Following the restrictions imposed by lockdown on our usual demonstration area, we were delighted to have permission to base ourselves so centrally at the railway’s Kingsley and Froghall station where, over the course of the year, we have held many demonstrations for customers as well as training days for the KOREC rail team.
Of course, one good turn deserves another so we’re in the process of surveying the entire track to provide Churnet Valley Railway with a full survey, including 3D geometry, that will be particularly useful for any future maintenance work.
Whilst previously the Churnet Valley team undertook ad hoc surveys using traditional methods, KOREC’s Matt Barwell and Trimble’s Matt Moss decided that with the pick of the Trimble portfolio, by far the most time efficient method would be to use Trimble’s GEDO IMS + GNSS system which enables track survey and subsequent track design based on absolute coordinates with valid alignment elements. The R-series GNSS receiver was operated in conjunction with the GEDO IMU allowing them to shoot in control via the GEDO Profiler, which was used to measure distance and height offsets between the track and any reference point/object adjacent to the track.
The two Matts were extremely appreciative of the system’s time efficiencies having already surveyed around 8km of track (4km in each direction) in just 5 hours.
KOREC then processed this data and turned it into a DXF CAD ready drawing should Churnet Valley need it for any future maintenance.
We are delighted that our most recent visit to this scenic site resulted in a GEDO sale to Volker Rail for use on the Transpennine Route Upgrade East. More details soon!
We are delighted to announce that we have extended our dedicated rail team with the appointment of Ric Kirman in the newly created role of KOREC Rail Business Area Manager.
With a rail career that began over 15 years ago, Ric has established his reputation as a specialist in the provision of advanced technical solutions with a range of roles that began in Signalling and Operations with Network Rail and more recently, has included working closely with the rail industry to focus on customer relationships.
Ric will be part of a KOREC rail team that is highly experienced at working within the pressurised rail environment and that has an excellent understanding of the industry’s pain points and how technology can be used to alleviate these challenges, with particular reference to Trimble’s GEDO suite of track measurement systems.
Ric and the KOREC rail team will be supporting the rail industry with extensive local knowledge backed up by access to the global experience and reach of Trimble Rail.
