What we do

 

DARTT designs, builds and operates specialist surveying, monitoring and data systems for complex transport, infrastructure and operational environments.

We work where off-the-shelf solutions fall short — environments that demand precision measurement, robust field deployment, reliable communications and insight that can be acted on with confidence.

Our work spans the full lifecycle, from early problem definition and system design through to deployment, analysis and long-term monitoring.

Infrastructure Surveying & Monitoring

We deliver high-precision surveying and monitoring solutions for transport and civil infrastructure where accuracy, safety and reliability are critical.

This includes:

  • Sub-millimetre alignment and movement surveys

  • Guided busway, track and structural surveys

  • Continuous monitoring of structural movement (vertical, lateral and longitudinal)

  • Long-term condition monitoring with real-time data capture

  • Engineering-focused reporting to support maintenance and intervention planning

Our surveying systems are purpose-designed for live operational environments, allowing assets to be measured, analysed and monitored with minimal disruption and maximum confidence.

Bespoke Measurement & Sensing Systems

Many of the challenges our clients face cannot be solved with generic hardware or software. DARTT designs and builds bespoke measurement and sensing systems tailored to the specific asset, environment and operational constraints.

This includes:

  • Custom sensor integration

  • Non-contact measurement systems

  • Field-deployed data capture platforms

  • Secure communications and data transmission

  • Web and mobile interfaces for real-time access

We focus on robust, practical engineering — systems that work reliably in the field, not just in theory.

Yard, Fleet & Asset Intelligence

DARTT develops intelligent operational systems that provide real-time visibility across complex yards, fleets and assets.

Our solutions replace fragmented, paper-based or radio-based processes with a single, reliable operational view, supporting safer and more efficient decision-making.

Capabilities include:

  • Yard, trailer and asset management

  • RFID, NFC and GPS-based identification and tracking

  • Shunter and vehicle task management

  • Automated audits and inspections

  • Integrated operational dashboards

These systems are designed around how sites actually operate, delivering insight that teams can use immediately.

Consultancy & Applied Innovation

Alongside delivery, DARTT provides specialist consultancy and subject matter expertise to public bodies, infrastructure operators, consultancies and academic partners.

Our consultancy work includes:

  • Early-stage problem definition and solution design

  • Facilitated workshops and technical discovery

  • Prototype and demonstrator projects

  • Applied research and innovation support

  • Independent technical insight for complex programmes

We bring together engineering, data and operational understanding, helping organisations move from challenge to deployable solution.

From Concept to Ongoing Operation

Every DARTT engagement follows a clear, practical approach:

  1. Understand the operational or infrastructure challenge

  2. Design the measurement or data capture strategy

  3. Build or configure specialist equipment and systems

  4. Deploy safely in live environments

  5. Analyse, report and refine

  6. Provide ongoing monitoring and support where required

This end-to-end capability allows us to deliver systems that remain valuable well beyond initial deployment.

Who We Work With

We work across sectors including:

  • Transport and infrastructure

  • Local authorities

  • Utilities and energy

  • Logistics and freight

  • Research and academia

Many of our projects are long-running and covered by confidentiality agreements, but our experience spans more than a decade of real-world delivery in demanding environments.
