Advanced NDT / NDE

Advanced UT methods like PAUT and TOFD for critical welds—high-resolution results without the disruption of large exclusion zones.

DIGITAL IMAGING FOR CRITICAL WELDS

High consequence welds and components demand more than traditional UT. We deploy phased array ultrasonic testing and time-of-flight diffraction to produce medical-grade imagery of internal flaws.

Our procedures eliminate radiation exclusion zones, reduce scaffolding requirements, and deliver results that can be archived for lifecycle comparison.

The combination of PAUT and TOFD provides comprehensive coverage that traditional methods cannot match. We scan welds from multiple angles simultaneously, capturing data that supports both immediate acceptance decisions and long-term asset management strategies.

Our technicians undergo rigorous training and maintain certifications with leading equipment manufacturers. We invest in the latest digital platforms and software tools, ensuring that our clients receive data in formats that integrate seamlessly with their asset management and reliability programs.

SERVICES & CAPABILITIES

Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT)

Electronically steered beams scan welds from multiple angles without moving the probe. This produces detailed cross-sectional imagery.

  • Superior speed and accuracy versus manual UT
  • Electronic record for each weld segment
  • Ideal for heavy wall piping, critical equipment, and elevated temperature exams

Time of Flight Diffraction (TOFD)

TOFD complements PAUT by measuring diffraction of ultrasonic waves. It delivers precise sizing of planar flaws and is extremely efficient on long welds.

  • Minimal surface preparation
  • Rapid coverage of hundreds of feet per shift
  • Excellent for crack sizing and evaluation of lack of fusion

Digital Workflows

Integrated software platforms store and trend results across outages so asset owners can compare repairs, monitor flaw growth, and plan interventions with confidence.

  • Secure electronic reporting and cloud delivery
  • Overlay results on 3D plant models when required
  • Supports RBI, FFS, and lifecycle programs
HOW WE PARTNER

Advanced NDT data allows you to make risk-based decisions without halting production longer than necessary. Our team handles procedure development, technician qualification, and reporting.

We work closely with your engineering and reliability teams to develop inspection procedures that align with your risk-based inspection programs. Our data supports fitness-for-service assessments and helps prioritize maintenance activities based on actual condition rather than conservative assumptions.

Our digital workflows ensure that inspection data is preserved and accessible for future comparisons. This historical perspective enables trend analysis, supports root cause investigations, and helps optimize inspection intervals based on actual degradation rates observed in your equipment.
