Welcome to the RailwayCenter
For Safety, Availability, and Certification in the Rail Sector
In the railroad industry, there are no gray areas. A finding is either reliable—or it isn’t. Cracks in a wheel set axle. Abnormalities in welds on load-bearing structures. In moments like these, there’s no room for guesswork. What’s needed is clarity and expertise.
That’s exactly what we provide.
After all, we began specializing in materials testing for the railway sector as early as 2007—and today we are among the most renowned companies in this field:
With W.S.cert, we operate one of only two certification programs for NDT workshops in the railway sector in Germany—about 100 companies in Europe currently hold our certification.
In addition, the NDT Competence Center (DIN 27201-7) supports companies with non-destructive testing in maintenance—from the evaluation of individual indications to their classification within the context of regulatory standards. But that’s not all: With our Wheel Set System (WS3) testing system, we have developed our own concept for semi-automatic ultrasonic testing of wheel sets.
Our RailwayCenter offers the following services in the railway sector:
