NDT Consultancy Services

Over time, the risk of accidents and unplanned stoppages increases with aging plants. In our webinar our experts talked about how to manage these challenges and presented various approaches to solving them using several reference cases.

Knowing what to inspect, when to inspect, and what methodology to use not only improves asset integrity but also helps to reduce the total cost of ownership. We offer extensive Level III NDT consultancy services ranging from inspection planning, reviews of existing inspection schedules and NDT written practices, professional third party witnessing, and evaluation of collected NDT data.

We support you with a comprehensive portfolio of consultancy services for non-destructive testing (NDT) and provide advice tailored to your industrial sector, the type and purpose of your individual assets, the type of degradation to be expected and the age of your plant.

Our experts also review your NDT written practice, train and certify your staff and help prepare for plant life extension and asset fitness for service analysis. Furthermore, our unique computational engineering services and various proprietary mobile APPs and software like ScanPlan® will help you develop inspection procedures in accordance with international standards and processes. Our consultancy services are based on ultrasonic procedure validation and ultrasonic technique modeling, among others.

We strive to provide know-how about specialized testing methods that require extensive expertise or need independent verification. Our experts are acquainted with international codes and specifications. What is more, our consultancy is accredited to Level III for various NDT techniques. We offer training, written reports on processes and procedures, specification advice and dispute arbitration.
