LKO, operating as a subcontractor, continues with collecting earth samples around the track bed for Swedish Rail (for environmental assessments). LKO uses one of our Hy-Rail vehicles for the collection. We have lately covered more than 550 test stations along over 100 kilometers of track. The last two projects took place between Söderhamn and Hudiksvall and between Bräcke and Östersund. It took the crew 14 shifts to finish the fieldwork. Test samples are sent to a specialized lab for analysis.

L-KOPIA, also acting as subcontractor, are continuing the major clearance and track center survey that started in May of 2025. The L-KOPIA laser truck “F350_LKO-IN” has been operating on tracks and roads for over 140 days in 2026. The CED crew are now in Montana (started in North Dakota 3 weeks ago).
