Structural Modifications and Repair
Canadian Railway Services has specific knowledge in carbody structural repair and modification. Trains are subject to wear from corrosion, rust and use. CRWS has the expertise to design structural repairs for all types of damage. No issue is too big or too small and every issue has a solution. Sometimes it is necessary to retrofit cars with new equipment or to modify existing equipment. Canadian Railway services Inc. has experience with modifying car body structure to install, retrofit, or remove heavy equipment items.
All designs are backed by proper engineering analysis using classical engineering approaches as well as modern Finite Element Analysis (FEA) design software. Complete or abridged reports are provided upon request.
Equipment Attachment
