Inspection Technologies
Derailments are dangerous, destructive, and costly.
But we can help you prevent them.
Minute, internal flaws in rail, invisible to the naked eye, can result in sudden, catastrophic failure.
Our rail flaw services detect unseen defects using the most sophisticated technology available, giving you an opportunity to correct them before they turn into a disaster.
Nordco offers a variety of rail flaw inspection service options - with your equipment or ours.
Our highly trained staff of Operators, Chief Operators, and Supervisors has extensive rail flaw testing experience. For example, all our Field Supervisors have a minimum of 15 years of rail flaw detection experience.
With our rail flaw inspection services, you can expect the following:
-
Operators and Chief Operators received extensive classroom and hands-on training.
-
Trucks are inspected daily and follow monthly preventive maintenance services for both the vehicle and inspection equipment.
-
Supervisors inspect equipment quarterly to ensure calibration and test quality.
-
Test data is reviewed monthly for each Chief Operator. Data is randomly selected and reviewed; audit results are published to the entire team for continuous learning of best practices.
