About Us
Now, what does that really mean?
Whether taking you on vacation, shipping cargo across the ocean, or at the end of a 1,000 km gas pipeline, gas turbine engines must be reliable and safe.
We provide our clients with the capability to HARNESS THE POWER of these engines and test them in an environment that mimics their real-world application.
We have the capability to turn an empty piece of land into a functioning, state-of-the-art test facility in less than two years; this includes all engineering and design, construction management, and project management.
We drive the industry forward.
Gas turbine engines are used in marine and aviation propulsion and also have applications in industrial power generation. Since 1985, MDS has been trusted to design and build test facilities for engine manufacturers all over the world.

We are always laser-focused on making our industry smarter, greener, and more powerful. Through our partnerships, such as our leadership of the NRC Aerospace Research Advisory Board, we are able to be a part of our industry’s future in a meaningful way.
