SITE SURVEYS & INSPECTIONS

VLE can have an experienced test cell SME onsite to review your engine test and support issues within 24 hours when situations dictate immediate response in European, Asian and African locations. In addition, VLE can assist with Project Management, Local Construction companies, Onsite Staffing and Suppliers. On-site repairs can vary depending on the state of the equipment and complexity of the repair.  These require coordination with Field Services & Engineering. Customers frequently request site surveys to scope and spec a new project, or to assess asset or process status in conjunction with a repair. Please contact VLE personnel for the initialization of a field repair, or get urgent assistance via our 24/7 hotline 1-877-514-2218.  Now as part of the Atec companies, the resources of Vital Link, Celtech, NETS (formerly Astronics Engine Test Systems) and Atec are available to VLE customers.
