Specialist Welding
Our ISO 15085-certified welding services combine advanced techniques with rail-specific expertise to restore structural integrity of rolling stock components. We employ qualified welders using MAG, MIG, and TIG methods to meet safety-critical requirements while maintaining full traceability. Our solutions extend asset lifespan while reducing replacement costs through precision repairs.
Component Overhaul
We provide comprehensive analysis and restoration of rail components including bogies, fuel tanks, and pressurised systems. Our process includes non-destructive testing, corrosion prevention, and certified repairs that meet original equipment specifications. Each overhaul includes conformity certificates and tailored maintenance recommendations to optimise component performance.
Consultancy
Our expert team delivers technical assessments and repair strategies based on detailed failure analysis and remaining life evaluations. We produce clear, jargon-free reports with actionable recommendations, supported by in-house welding engineering and metallurgy specialists. Our consultancy covers safety-critical systems and complex repair scenarios across the rail supply chain.
On-Depot Services
Our mobile teams perform on-site repairs, modifications, and testing to minimise vehicle downtime. We conduct EN-standard welding and NDT inspections at client locations while maintaining full compliance documentation. Services include pressure testing, crack analysis, and custom repair procedures developed using Faro arm measurement technology.
NDT Services
We offer comprehensive non-destructive testing using ultrasonic, magnetic particle, and eddy current methods to detect surface and subsurface defects.
