Why ECE Global?

→ High Competence Level

→ Trained to Optimize Processes to Achieve Measurable Results

→ Utilization of High-Tech Testing Technology to Minimize “Out-Time” and Increase Safe Equipment Service

→ Integrity Management

Managing equipment failure, performance issues, code compliance are tasks that start on the drawing board. And at times the design is based on a “fit for function” philosophy.  Eliminating or reducing the risk for failure, corrosion under insulation, weld imperfections are tough jobs – our team of international experts can help.

We apply high-tech inspection methods like Phased Array UT to inspect equipment conditions, and often without the need for expensive dismantling or service interruptions. We apply Front End Loading (FEL) to each project, supporting improvements in engineering, fabrication and quality, resulting in noticeable savings.

Globalization – Tracks of Thoughts

Competition within the rail equipment industries is now global and businesses may be at risk, if they choose to stand still. Being proactive in this hyper-competitive environment is a must.

Globalization means also an open mind and the adoption of other engineering and fabrication philosophies and proven processes. EN 15085 may be an excellent way for your business to expand its customer base and stay on the cutting edge of the global quality revolution that is coming to the rail industry. At a minimum, it will support improvements in engineering, fabrication and quality and result in cost reductions.
