Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) Services for Manufacturing
Precise Defect Detection for Material Integrity and Safety
Non-destructive testing (NDT) is the cornerstone of quality assurance in critical industries such as oil, gas and heavy industry. It enables accurate defect detection without compromising component integrity. Our certified technicians deliver reliable NDT testing services – quickly, accurately and in full compliance with international standards – helping prevent defects, minimize downtime and ensure long term safety.
NDT is an essential quality control method used across multiple sectors to identify defects or irregularities in components while maintaining full structural functionality. By applying advanced techniques, both internal and external flaws can be detected early, preventing costly failures and improving safety across operations.
Verification of Material Certificates
We also verify material certificates to ensure they meet industry standards and specifications. This includes evaluating test reports from suppliers or manufacturers and confirming that material properties align with the intended application requirements.
Damage Assessment and Failure Analysis
When damage occurs, we provide expert damage assessment and failure analysis. Whether caused by overload, material defects or manufacturing issues, our analysis identifies the root cause and develops preventive solutions. This process safeguards reliability, reduces recurrence and supports long term operational safety.
Reporting and Documentation
Every test is followed by comprehensive reporting and documentation. Our reports outline the methods used, defects found and conclusions drawn, serving as valuable evidence for quality assurance and a basis for corrective action where necessary.
what we offer
Our NDT Testing Services
Our NDT consultancy solutions are tailored to deliver immediate improvements in production, quality and efficiency. We provide fast, flexible responses to meet the changing demands of oil companies, refineries and heavy industry clients.
Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT)
An advanced NDT method, PAUT uses multiple ultrasonic elements and electronic beam steering to detect internal defects, thickness variations, and weld discontinuities. This technology provides high resolution imaging and greater flexibility compared to conventional ultrasonic testing, making it ideal for critical applications.
Visual Inspection (VT)
The most fundamental NDT method, VT involves a direct visual check of material surfaces to identify cracks, corrosion or misalignments. Enhanced with tools such as magnifiers, borescopes, or cameras, VT is commonly used for non-destructive testing for welds, structural assessments, and component verification.
Ultrasonic Testing (UT)
UT employs high frequency sound waves to detect internal flaws such as cracks or voids. This method is widely used for ultrasonic inspection of welds, wall thickness measurements, and general structural integrity assessments.
Radiographic Inspection (RT)
RT provides a proven method for detecting both surface and subsurface defects using X-rays or gamma rays. This technique is particularly valuable in weld inspection, where radiographic imaging ensures hidden flaws are detected with precision.
Liquid Penetrant Testing (PT)
PT is effective for identifying surface-breaking flaws in non-magnetic materials such as stainless steel, aluminum, and ceramics. The process uses liquid dye and capillary action to highlight defects, making it ideal for detecting fine cracks in welds, castings and machined parts.
Magnetic Particle Testing (MT)
Designed for ferromagnetic materials, MT applies a magnetic field and fine iron particles to make defects visible. It is a reliable choice for high-stress components such as structural steel, pipelines, and aerospace parts.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes NDT testing services different from traditional inspection methods?
The key difference is that with NDT, we don’t damage or alter the component during inspection. Traditional destructive testing, like bending or tensile tests often requires a sample to be sacrificed, which isn’t practical for costly or critical assets. Our services let you detect flaws, verify material integrity and ensure compliance while keeping equipment fully operational. This saves both time and money while maintaining safety and reliability.
How is non-destructive testing used for welds?
Welds are often the most critical points in a structure, and they’re also the most likely to develop cracks, porosity or other hidden flaws. That’s why we apply non-destructive testing for welds using methods such as ultrasonic testing, radiographic inspection and visual examination. These techniques allow us to detect internal and surface defects early, ensuring welds meet code requirements and preventing failures that could cause costly downtime or safety hazards.
What’s the difference between ultrasonic and radiographic inspection?
Both methods are highly effective, but they work in different ways. Ultrasonic inspection uses high frequency sound waves to detect internal defects and measure wall thickness, making it great for welds, pipelines and structural materials. Radiographic inspection however uses X-rays or gamma rays to create an image of the component’s internal structure, making it ideal for identifying hidden flaws and discontinuities. In many projects, we use both techniques together to provide a complete picture of material integrity.
Which industries benefit the most from NDT services?
Almost every heavy industry relies on NDT in some form, but it’s especially critical in oil and gas, petrochemicals, power generation, mining and construction. For oil companies regular ultrasonic and radiographic inspection of pipelines and storage tanks ensures compliance with strict regulations and reduces the risk of costly leaks or failures. Essentially, if your business depends on the reliability of critical assets, NDT plays a role in protecting both safety and profitability.
How do I know which method is right for my project?
That’s where our consultancy approach comes in. Different inspection methods are suited to different materials, environments and defect types. For example, ultrasonic testing is excellent for weld thickness and flaw detection, while liquid penetrant testing is better for fine surface cracks.
We’ll work with you to understand your project, regulatory requirements, and operational risks, then recommend the most effective solution, often combining multiple methods to give you full confidence in your equipment’s integrity.
Can NDT be carried out onsite, or do components need to be sent to a lab?
We provide both options, but in most cases, NDT is performed directly onsite at your facility. For pipelines, pressure vessels or large welded structures, mobile inspection is usually the most practical choice. If highly specialized analysis is needed, certain samples can be sent to a lab. Our flexibility means you don’t have to disrupt operations more than necessary.
Is it cost effective for large scale operations?
While there’s an upfront cost, the long term savings are significant. By identifying flaws early, you avoid costly shutdowns, unplanned repairs and potential regulatory fines. For oil companies and heavy industries, regular NDT testing services quickly pay for themselves by keeping assets reliable and compliant.
