Overview

The CAT. Remanufacturing facility in Corinth MS. Desired to expand test capabilities. The goal was to construct a new test cell with infrastructure and equipment capable of testing engines from 7,000 hp to 95 hp using both diesel and natural gas fuels. The execution of this project would expand rebuild capabilities and simplify rebuild logistics. First a preliminary engineering study was executed with Dyno-One leading the engineering and supply of the testing equipment. After completion of the engineering study the implementation of the project would begin. Dyno-One fulfilled final engineering and manufacturing of each system required. Once systems arrived on the construction site Dyno-One continued to offer project support throughout the integration process of each system. After completion of project integration, “Test Cell #6” was able to successfully test a greater range of engines than any other test cell has previously been capable of in the North American Market.
