NDT Inspection

Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) is a branch of testing that provides great advantages to the science and technology industry sectors due to its ability to evaluate the properties of materials using techniques that do not cause damage. It is an important solution for industrial inspection, especially for welding inspection and corrosion monitoring.

NDT application in manufacturing & installation processes help ensure:

  • - High levels of quality, while increasing the product safety and compliance
  • - Low prices by reducing waste product, material and workforce preservation
  • - Improvement of prestige and competitiveness in the market

 

NDT application in operational processes allow clients to:

  • - Ensure the safety of operating systems
  • - Reduce and save on maintenance costs
  • - Reduce amount of  time spent on plant shutdowns for maintenance purposes

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

FOCUS

Our NDT Methods

NDT integrates the principles of physics, chemistry and mathematics, and uses various forms of energy to gather precise information. The scientific underpinnings of NDT are essential to understanding the mechanisms involved, while the challenge is to select the appropriate methods and techniques to maximize the “probability of detection”.

Apave supports you in all your NDT projects, guaranteeing optimum performance and reliability.
