Commissioning railway facilities

About the Company

Since 2010, Prombudkoliya has been providing services for commissioning railway facilities after construction, reconstruction, and major overhaul. We support the entire process — from preparation of as-built documentation to obtaining official commissioning approval from Ukrzaliznytsia and government authorities.

Our specialists ensure full compliance of the facility with the approved design, technical conditions, and regulatory requirements, guaranteeing a fast and successful completion of all acceptance stages.
