Inspection, Testing, and Measurement Solutions for Railway Infrastructure and Rolling Stock
Rail travel is a key part of the transportation industry for its speed, reliability, and affordability. With a large, ageing infrastructure, railways require constant support to maintain their integrity and operate safely and efficiently.
A Complete Workflow Solution
Inspecting the integrity of the rails as well as train vehicles, wheels and axles for flaws is essential to keeping rail networks operating. Non-destructive testing (NDT) technology, including conventional and phased array ultrasound, and eddy current array, is used to inspect trains and rails during manufacturing and as part of a regular in-service inspection program to help keep railroads on track.
Evident provides a wide range of solutions from portable, off-the-shelf units through to large scale, integrated systems. A comprehensive portfolio also includes remote visual inspection, materials microscopy and X-Ray fluorescence technologies.
Evident solutions are used for a wide range of applications both in the rail industry manufacturing and maintenance sectors. Focussing on applications such as vehicle, axle and wheel inspections, rail infrastructure integrity checks (rail welds, cracks, defects, as well as switches), and rolling stock investigations such as windshield bond testing.
Extensive Capabilities
Technologies range from handheld thickness gauges to verify if components or systems are within limits/tolerance, or to verify wall loss due to corrosion or general wear and tear, through to comprehensive production line installations.
