Services
Calibration Services
Our UKAS-traceable calibration laboratory ensures measurement equipment accuracy across multiple parameters. We calibrate accelerometers, pressure sensors, thermocouples, and data acquisition systems to international standards. With 10-working-day turnaround and optional calibration plans, our services maintain instrument reliability for industries ranging from aerospace to rail transport.
Rail Testing Services
Specialist railway testing using our 125mph test train and laboratory facilities. We conduct pantograph performance analysis, vehicle dynamics measurements, and infrastructure stress testing to EN and GMRT standards. Our services support rail vehicle life extensions and drive train optimisation projects globally.
Strain Gauging
BSSM-certified engineers provide high-temperature and weldable strain gauging solutions for structural analysis. We measure stress during simulated launches for aerospace components and conduct fatigue crack investigations for rail bogies. Our services operate in extreme environments from -40C to +180C.
Data Analysis
Using HBK nCode Glyphworks 2024 and Catman software, we process complex datasets from field trials and laboratory tests. Our analysis supports model validation, fatigue life prediction, and structural load assessments for clients in automotive, marine, and energy sectors.
Bespoke Test Rigs
Design and construction of hydraulic and pneumatic test systems for dynamic load simulation. Our facilities accommodate fatigue testing of military vehicle components and vibration analysis of driver aid systems to European standards. PLC-controlled systems replicate real-world conditions with precision.
