The survey will define the scope of the system and site specific attributes on a contractual basis including cable lengths, routes, availability of power supplies and communications links and positioning of monitoring equipment.  (Click for more...)

A Functional Design Specification (FDS) defines the functional design of the system. It shows how the site sub systems are connected and integrated with the AssetWatch Database Server. (Click for more...)

CDSRail operates a robust Quality Management System, which ensures that the company can consistently supply products and services that meet all of the customer’s requirements. The company is ISO9001:2000 certified and also compliant with the Network Rail Link-Up proof audit protocol.

For large-scale undertakings the Quality Management System can be applied on a project basis to ensure that an appropriate level of QA is exercised at each stage of execution and that the client has full visibility of the standards and procedures to which the project is planned and implemented.    (Click for more...)
