ELEMENT IN RAIL As train travel becomes faster, lighter, and more advanced, rail testing is critical to ensuring the safety of products and developing new, high-tech materials. Element’s dedicated rail laboratory provides testing services for material selection and behaviour, research and development, failure analysis, and mechanical strength.
RAIL TESTING SERVICES Everything we do is designed to ensure that the materials, subcomponents, and systems we test, inspect, and certify for our customers meet all the necessary regulatory requirements and successfully operate in the extreme conditions these vehicles and supporting systems are designed to work within..
ROLLING STOCK INSPECTION
INFRASTRUCTURE
Rolling stock rail inspection services focus on the condition of in-service vehicles incorporating a component, system, or entire train to deliver an independent view of its relative condition against expectation. Our services include:
