How rail pit monitoring works

Get real-time water level data from your switch point pits - without manual inspections or delayed maintenance response.

Our products

1. Install the hardware

Deploy a Captis data logger or Spectra radar in manual or automated switch point pits using flexible mounting options.

2. Data is transmitted

Water level data is sent over NB-IoT or CAT-M1 using dual antenna options for strong signal - even in underground or high-traffic environments.

3. See alerts & trends

Receive immediate alerts when pits don’t drain properly. Track historical drainage issues in Kallipr Kloud or integrate with your asset system.

Features

Managing Pit Flooding in Rail Networks

When drainage fails, switch point pits can flood fast – causing delays, infrastructure damage, or safety incidents. Our rail pit monitoring solution delivers the real-time visibility rail operators need to respond early, reduce risks, and shift from reactive to proactive maintenance.

Detects blockages early

Captis devices track water ingress and drainage trends, helping crews catch drainage failures before they disrupt service.

Fast, rail-friendly installation

Quickly mounts in existing pits with minimal setup - ideal for automated or manual switching infrastructure.

Built to withstand rail environments

With IP68-rated durability, Captis handles vibration, water, debris, and extreme weather in high-traffic zones.

Reliable data, everywhere

NB-IoT and CAT-M1 keep data flowing even in deep pits, urban interference zones, or remote corridors.

Kallipr devices use market-leading technology to connect via low-power wide-area network technologies (CAT-M1 or NB-IoT) networks globally. Transmission and measurement intervals are fully configurable, letting you balance data accuracy, frequency, and latency with battery life. All data is encrypted, with built-in security features that ensure end-to-end integrity - from device to cloud to the way you use it.
Where data also needs to be sent to additional systems, Kallipr hardware supports multiple endpoint configuration, which is widely used by utilities to route data or alarms directly to SCADA or analytics environments.
Installation is quick and hassle-free, with clip-on deployment that requires no specialist tools or complex setup. Installs can take as little as 10 minutes for standard sites, or up to 30 minutes for more complicated set ups.
Yes, IP68-rated enclosures protect against full submersion, heavy rainfall, and debris impact, making them ideal for flood-prone environments or extreme conditions.
The Captis S2 range has been built specifically for those hard installs. With military-grade durability, testing completed well beyond the standard IP68 rating, and tamper detection, Captis S2 devices can withstand harsh environments, including submersion up to 14 days for 5m.
