Non-destructive
Testing & Inspection

With several hundred technicians nationally, we provide the largest capacity and the widest capability for non-destructive testing under our NATA and ISO 9001 quality system. We provide:

Traditional NDT

Magnetic particle, dyepenetrant, eddy current, film (or traditional) radiography, ultrasonic thickness testing, weld inspection and scanning.

Advanced NDT

• Remote and enhanced visual inspection techniques
• Saturated low frequency eddy current (SLOFEC) or tank floors and piping inspection
• Magnetic flux leakage (MFL) for tank floors and flat steel plates
• MFL wire rope / cable inspection
• Pulsed eddy current (PEC) testing
• RFT – bracelet corrosion detection (CUI)
• Phased array ultrasonic testing and time of flight diffraction (PAUT/ToFD)
• Restricted Access Phased Array (RAPA)
• LRUT guided wave testing (GWT)
• Electromagnetic acoustic transducers (EMAT)
• Digital, computed, and real time radiography (DR,CR and OpenVision)
• Tube Inspection (IRIS / ET / RFT / NFA).

Remote and enhanced visual inspection techniques

• Borescope inspection
• RPA / UAV (drone inspection)
• 3D laser scanning and 3D modelling of structures, including our WearM

Services are also provided by a national team of IRATA rope access technicians where appropriate to realise the benefits of this type of access.
