EcoGrind

EcoGrind is a user friendly Windows^TM based software that presents the benefits of rail grinding as compared with a base case of no-grinding. These benefits include extension in rail life, reduction in fatigue defects, reduction in surfacing cycle, reduction in derailment risk, and reduction in fuel costs.

EcoGrind evaluates the costs on an annualized basis, in order to fully understand the economics of grinding. A present value analysis is presented based on the unit costs and cycle of maintenance, and a user defined cost of money. Using the benefits of grinding and the costs of grinding, a return on investment (ROI) for grinding is determined.
