Typical needs
- Spare parts and obsolescence without original drawings
- Qualified welding (EN 15085 where required) and related inspections
- Short runs for refurbishment and mid-life programmes
- Material traceability and manufacturing records
Parts and sub-assemblies for the rail sector, made in Morocco
Rail combines heavy parts (welded fabrications, castings, forgings) and precision parts (machining, fine sheet metal) with service-life, qualified-welding and traceability requirements. DSSF CONNECT serves maintainers, integrators and operators for spares, obsolescence management and short runs tied to rolling stock and infrastructure refurbishment.
Reverse engineering of parts without drawings is handled by CONNECT Engineering (measurement, 3D scanning, re-drawing), then manufactured in the network with the required inspections.

Frequently asked questions
- Is welding qualified to EN 15085?
- Some fabrication shops in the network hold this certification; it is verified and imposed when the request specifies it.
- Can you remanufacture a part without a drawing?
- Yes, via CONNECT Engineering: measurement or 3D scan, re-drawing validated by the customer, then manufacturing.
- Which non-destructive tests?
- Dye penetrant, magnetic particle and ultrasonic testing on welds and forged or cast parts, by certified operators, on request.
- Do you deliver to maintenance depots?
- Yes, in Morocco and to West Africa and Europe, DAP or DDP depending on the country.
