In January 2026, OKOndt GROUP specialists delivered an instructor-led training programme on the operation of the ETS2-73 eddy current double-rail flaw detector over the course of five days in Buenos Aires, for the National Railway Training Centre's (CENACAF) non-destructive testing personnel. The training combined structured theoretical sessions with supervised practical work on railway tracks.
Once again, OKOndt GROUP specialists took part in the RI 2023 exhibition, this time in Indianapolis. This year, our distributors, specialists from NDT Supply.com from Kansas City, worked with us at the stand. We demonstrated the latest version of the UDS2-77 AREMA RSUI rail flaw detector and held a number of interesting meetings with both old acquaintances and new potential partners.
In the early summer of 2020, a customer from Turkey purchased from OKOndt GROUP ultrasonic equipment for rails testing — a hand-pushed trolley UDS2-73. In August, our experts keeping all the safety measures came to the customer to provide training, demonstrating all the extensive functionality of the flaw detector. During practice, the UDS2-73 detected flaws not only on the running surface, but also in the welded joints. OKOndt's specialists carried out several practical sessions, one of which took place at night, so that the customer's technical staff can learn to use the ultrasonic flaw detector in an effective manner at any period of the day.
The sea city of Odessa, in still warm and lovely September, hosted the international conference entitled Nondestructive Testing and Monitoring of Technical Condition — 2020, the General sponsor of which was UkrSRINDT that makes part of OKOndt Group. The organizers took a very responsible approach to planning the event, providing its participants with the necessary safety measures. This allowed to hold the Forum at a high level, in accordance with the planned program, as well as arrange the Exhibition of NDT equipment at which, among others, multipurpose flaw detectors Sonocon B and BL, Eddycon C and CL, automated aircraft wheels testing System SmartScan, rail testing trolleys UDS2-77 and UDS2-73 were represented.
September 2019 was a very eventful month for OKOndt GROUP. After participation in Railway Interchange-2019, the specialists of our company went to Miami where they held a practical seminar for OKOndt client. The aim of the seminar was to teach Gonzales & Sons' employees how to operate the USR-01 kit and UT single rail trolley UDS2-77 – NDT devices which American company had purchased from OKOndt GROUP before. The workshop lasted for several days, attendees got few opportunities to watch expert’s actions then tried to operate flaw detectors by themselves. The training went well. Technical staff of Gonzales & Sons studied functionality of both devices. They expressed confidence that they will be able to conduct nondestructive testing of railways successfully.
Of course, OKOndt GROUP participated in the largest forum in North America dedicated to the railroad industry - the Railway Interchange-2019. Our company was presented as a member of REMSA, we have been a corporate member of REMSA since spring 2019. In the RI-2019 OKOndt GROUP exhibited our ultrasonic single rail flaw detector UDS2-77, the set for the rail welded joints testing USR-01, multifunctional flaw detectors: ultrasonic device Sonocon B and eddy current tool Eddycon C. The booth of OKOndt attracted a lot of attention, we established new business contacts with several American companies and got new inquiries for quality equipment designed for the railroad testing and detection of both manufacturing and in-service defects.
