About Element Berlin

Element Berlin, formerly known as GEVA (Gesellschaft für Entwicklung und Versuch Adlershof GmbH), is a specialist provider of materials, product qualification and systems testing to the global Aerospace industry.

Founded in 1999, GEVA was the result of a combination of the component testing division of BMW Rolls-Royce GmbH, Oberursel (near Frankfurt) and Dahlewitz (in Berlin). Since its formation, this laboratory has consistently developed and delivered a range of highly sophisticated testing:

• Spin testing, 
• Vibration testing
• Structural strength examinations
• High cycle fatigue (HCF) testing
• Low cycle fatigue (LCF) testing
• Fluid and fuel system testing
• Non-destructive testing NDT (UT, FPI)
• Test concept definition and rig design
• Computer simulation
• Calibration instrumentation, evaluation, and analysis 

At Element Berlin, our customers often tell us that we are not a typical “industrial” test lab, because of our continued focus on the more technically challenging, complex, and experimental side of the testing spectrum. Our customers use us because: “we often start where other testing labs give up”.

Berlin testing capabilities

• 2650 m² floor space 
• 5 dedicated boxes for spin pits  
• 3 large Spin pits, 2 horizontal spin pits & 2 small spin pits
• Vibration and HCF chambers
• 25m² & 50m² structural test beds up to 32 hydraulic channels
• Depending on test service 24/7 possible

Accreditations & standards

Our accreditations consist of certification in compliance with AS/EN 9100, International Aerospace Quality Management Systems per customer standards (e.g., Rolls-Royce/SABRe) and other industrial quality guidelines, including ISO 9001:2000.

Element Berlin also works closely with its sister sites in Warwick and Seville to deliver a comprehensive environmental testing programme. It's the ideal testing partner for Aerospace, Energy, and Automotive industrial manufacturers needing to ensure their products are compliant with either industry-specific standards or in-service conditions.

Our location is in the Berlin WISTA Aera Adlershof,15 min from Berlin- Brandenburg Airport BER Motorway (Autobahn) A113, Exit #5 Adlershof, 30 min from Brandenburg Gate (Berlin Centre).
