ROLLING STOCK
Essex-based Gordon Services highlights its flexible approach to delivering the maintenance that rail companies need. S
ince its formation in 1993 Gordon Services has provided a fast, compre- hensive and cost-effective electro-mechan- ical engineering service for the railway in- dustry, specialising in undercarriage main- tenance, pantograph, air conditioning and toilet overhaul for all types of rolling stock throughout the UK.
Gordon Services has comprehensive maintenance facilities extending across a large area of its premises located in rural Essex. These facilities are divided into a number of specialist workshops focusing on individual component overhaul. In addition the company has both cabinet shot blasting & external pot blasting facilities (used for heavily soiled cleaning) and multiple spray booth facilities with controlled heat and humidity (for spraying various components).
Whilst Gordon Services normally operate off-site from their customers, for some specific service requirements, there is a need to work within the customer’s
own premises. The company prides itself on addressing customer needs and in providing flexible solutions to its customers’ ever-increasing demands on good service.
Gordon Services are able to adopt a flexible cost-effective approach so as to be able to meet deadlines giving the service required by the client but in no way compromising quality. The company operates its own transport fleet providing varying sizes of vehicle.
The company specialises in the maintenance and servicing of disassembled motor body and trailer bogie components including suspension, axles and brakes. Gordon Services also overhaul air receivers, compressors, toilets (Semlet/K vacuum toilets), lead assemblies, couplings, window pans, under-seat heaters, and batteries. The full maintenance of pantograph components and assemblies is another service the company offers. Gordon Services distribute Semvac parts
within the UK and are currently running a maintenance project on behalf of the Danish manufacturer of these vacuum toilets for the railway industry. As well as providing a full maintenance service for traditional toilet components, the company is equipped to service the Semvac Mini Vac electronic toilet modules including full software simulation during the overhaul process. Gordon Services is hoping to expand its portfolio in this area in the future.
Accreditations are ISO 9001:2000 quality assurance and ISO 14001 environmental policy. Gordon Services is a fully approved specialist railway contractor as part of the Link-up scheme. The fully skilled workforce consists of engineers, electricians & coded welders who are certificated to BS EN287 level for pressurised vessels.
