Designing and Building Complex, Custom, Integrated Facilities

Engine and vehicle test cells are complex systems. A strong development plan starts with:

A suitable physical space and location
Clear understanding of the exact data that must be delivered on an accurate and repeatable basis

From mechanical layout, controls and software to dynamometers and peripheral equipment, Sierra CP can handle every facet of your project with a combination of process knowledge, subject matter expertise and integration experience that makes our services uniquely valuable.

Carefully thought out engine or vehicle movement and linkage with integrated custom test cell equipment is important from a test and data quality standpoint, as well as the efficient operation, maintenance, and future flexibility of the test facility.

Our In-Cell Equipment Advantage

We are truly unique in that we own the vast majority of our technology IP ranging from test automation software and hardware to engine conditioning, fuel metering, emissions and analytical equipment. In many cases, our customers are pushing the edge of innovation with their engine or vehicle R&D. Since we own all of our equipment, change is easy and cost effective. We regularly improve, innovate, resize or upgrade our test equipment as well as our CADET automation software to meet changing customer needs.
