Railways

Equipment fit for thirty years on the rails.

Rolling-stock and trackside equipment tested for a lifetime of vibration and shock, heat, cold, damp and salt — for coach builders, propulsion and signalling suppliers, and metro projects.

How we help

Why railways programmes test here

  • RITES inspectors witness tests here
  • Vibration, climate and materials on one campus
  • A reply within one working day; the report within 2–3 working days of the test
  • Development trials on prototypes, before the formal qualification

Impartiality comes first. Test results are reported exactly as measured, whoever the customer. Engineering advice — design analysis, failure investigation, fixture design — is a separate service outside our NABL accreditation, and it never changes how a test is run or reported.

Development trials

Before the formal qualification, bring the prototype and run the tests early — at the specified levels, or stepped up within the machine's limits to find where the margin runs out. Development trials run in R&D mode: fully instrumented, every failure photographed, and reported as development results, kept separate from any formal qualification.
