Ultrasonic Testing

DRS has been supplying NDT (Non-Destructive Testing) of aluminothermic, flash butt welding and plain track since 2014. 

We have been industry leaders by introducing new technology and equipment that now has us a step ahead of all our competition. 

We are able to test plain track along with welds and have placed ourselves in a position of demand as DRS is one of very few companies that can conduct both aluminothermic, flash butt welding and plain track tests and alignment testing.
