Your challenges
NDT is a valuable tool for assessing the safety and reliability of structures. By understanding the challenges of NDT and taking steps to address them, NDT can be used to keep people safe.
When it comes to operating your assets, being able to control the infrastructure is essential:
- Ensuring that the materials are suitable for the uses and operation of the equipment,
- Anticipate possible faults and adapt corrective action,
- Identify any anomalies likely to affect the safety, use and conformity of the part,
- Minimise the risks associated with recycling equipment,
- Take action without suspending production.
Our solutions
Apave has a well appreciated and internationally recognized reputation for its Non-Destructive Testing (NDT). Years of innovation and development efforts are the base of our experience and knowledge. While conventional NDT methods are currently the main inspection methods for new construction projects, new manufacturing platforms and manufacturing phases, advanced NDT methods are very useful and effective during the operation phase especially for corrosion monitoring. In addition, related services increase efficiency and reduce costs for clients, as is the case with NDT using rope access which results in cost-savings related to scaffolding materials.
Here are some ways to address the challenges of NDT:
- Use multiple NDT methods: Using multiple methods can help to improve the chances of detecting defects.
- Train and certify technicians: Technicians should be properly trained and certified in the use of NDT methods.
- Calibrate and standardize equipment: Equipment should be calibrated and standardized to ensure accurate results.
- Have quality assurance programs: These programs help to ensure that NDT results are accurate and reliable.
- Do a risk assessment: This will help to identify and mitigate the potential hazards of NDT
