Non-destructive Testing for New Manufacturing

Project lead times have a major impact on investments. EPC contractors and equipment manufacturers both benefit from reducing the construction time and costs. In this context, the selection of NDT methods depending on the design codes is crucial. In general, the conventional methods are used in new construction projects because they are considered to be cheaper. However, by selecting the right advanced NDT method, the fabrication time can be saved, resulting in a shorter lead time and therefore lower overall fabrication costs.

Major projects require highly skilled engineers at all levels. Availability of these engineers depends on several different factors such as region and investment budget. Also, the level of craftsmanship in some regions might not meet the level expected by global multinationals. Shortage of reliable skilled engineers may negatively impact on selection of suitable fabricators, quality control during the fabrication and overall expediting of the complex deliveries of equipment.

Manufacturing of a new industrial asset is complex due to constantly changing technical developments and environmental requirements. Based on newly sourced materials or changed regulations, it becomes more important to be up to date with the latest techniques available for quality control and assurance. Increasing demands for sustainable sourcing and manufacturing add further complexity to the managing your supply chain and choosing the best inspection strategy.
