All are competant in working to customer instructions such as Level 3 electronic repair and test procedures and are versed in Rail Electronics test and repair techniques.
We have a library and archive of many current and heritage documents to act as supporting data.

Reverse engineering

Do you have that one spare that’s as rare as rocking horse ****. If you would like to increase your float then we can reverse engineer. No drawings, schematics or component lay-outs necessary just the     original for us to “clone”, we can even iron out some of the design flaws and obsolete components if you wish.


Ultrasonic cleaning

We have Ultrasonic Cleaning and Hot air drying Facility for Component cleaning. This is to ensure that rail operating debris (ROD) is removed from the components before the repair is undertaken, this prevents contamination and tracking.
