The main activities of DNDC UZ are to increase the efficiency and safety of operation of rolling stock. The research and operational works are carried out by the following departments:

  • Engineering Department: Experimental, operational and theoretical research of the rolling stock. Imitating modeling of dynamics. Running dynamic and strength tests. Evaluation of the impact on the track of the rolling stock using special advanced equipment. Assessment of level of comfort and safety at operation of the rolling stock.
  • Reliability Department: Diagnostics of the supporting metal designs of the rolling stock. Repair and modernization of elements of a design. Definition of causes of failures and life cycle of objects.
  • Material Science and Quality Control Department: Complex macro and micro studies of steels and alloys, of products after destruction (destructive and nondestructive metallography, chemical analysis, tensile strength testing, pendulum impact testing). Statistical analysis of the stability of enterprises performance.
  • Technical audit UZ Department: Implementation of inspection and acceptance control, assessment of quality of production of railway appointment, control of its compliance of standard documentation. Automation of processes of quality control.
