Title: Hanborough Firm Lands Railway Deal Post by: Lee on September 30, 2008, 23:26:24 Zetica, based at Hanborough Business Park, could help Network Rail save millions of pounds' spending on maintenance work by using a radar system, mounted on inspection trains, to monitor thousands of miles of track (link below.)
http://www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/3714791.Radar_firm_lands_railway_deal/ The on-train system will reduce the need to inspect track on foot, by pinpointing where the stone ballast supporting the sleepers and rail needs work to keep it safe. Zetica was set up in 1991 and moved to Long Hanborough from Witney last year. It now has 35 staff and, with the Network Rail contract, is taking on several more.
