Non-Destructive Testing
Assess material condition and identify discontinuities without damaging the component.
Introduction
What this service involves
Non-destructive testing (NDT) provides information about the condition of materials, welds and components without causing damage to the item under examination. It supports asset integrity decisions by helping to identify surface and sub-surface discontinuities at an early stage, so that maintenance can be planned on the basis of evidence rather than assumption.
NDT methods
Techniques we can deploy
The appropriate method is agreed during scope development, based on material, application, access and project requirements.
Ultrasonic Testing
Internal defect detection, wall thickness measurement and corrosion assessment.
Eddy Current Testing
Surface and near-surface flaw detection in conductive materials.
Magnetic Testing
Identifies surface and near-surface discontinuities in ferromagnetic materials.
Penetrant Testing
Surface-breaking defect detection in non-porous materials.
Visual Testing
Inspection for corrosion, distortion, weld quality and structural defects.
Eddy Current Array
Advanced array technique for faster, more accurate defect detection.
Alternating Current Field Measurement
High-accuracy surface crack detection on conductive metals.
Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing
Precision imaging of welds and complex geometries.
Time of Flight Diffraction
Accurate crack sizing and internal flaw evaluation.
Drone Inspection & Survey
Safe, efficient inspections of large or hard-to-access structures.
The value of the findings
Reporting that supports decisions
Findings help asset owners understand material condition, target maintenance where it is needed and avoid unnecessary work. Clear reporting supports repair-or-replace decisions and provides a record for ongoing asset management.
Qualified personnel
All non-destructive testing is carried out by PCN or CSWIP qualified personnel.
Important — confirmed during scope development
Method selection and availability depend on material, application, access and project requirements. Not every method is applicable to every asset; the appropriate techniques are agreed during scope development.
