Las Vegas, NV – November 10, 2026
ENSCO will share research on precision track construction and testing at the Trimble Dimensions User Conference on Nov. 11 in Las Vegas. The presentation will explore how an adjustable curved slab-track facility at the Transportation Technology Center (TTC) supports more accurate and repeatable railway testing.
Track Research Engineer, ENSCO
Dr. André Broekman, ENSCO Track Research Engineer, will present “Precision on the Curve: Construction and Commissioning of FRA’s Adjustable Slab Track at the Transportation Technology Center” at 9 a.m. in Room Veronese 2401 B.
The presentation will examine the construction and commissioning of a 501-foot adjustable curved slab track at the Federal Railroad Administration’s (FRA) TTC in Pueblo, Colorado, operated by ENSCO. The facility allows researchers to introduce controlled changes in track geometry to study how rail vehicles respond and evaluate the accuracy of track measurement technologies.
Broekman will discuss the role of precision surveying throughout construction and share findings from full-scale testing under representative train loading. The research offers insight into how controlled track conditions can support railway infrastructure evaluation and future testing.
