What is NDT

Non-destructive testing is the process of analysing material, component, and structural properties without causing damage to the subject. It employs a series of testing methods to collect data and insights relating to the asset’s infrastructure and integrity.

The goal of NDT is to identify and understand material characteristics and defects to prevent future failure or malfunction.

Why is It Important?

Non-destructive testing ensures the correct and optimal operation of equipment and systems. Among its many benefits are:
Early Fault and Risk Detection

NDT helps guarantee the safety and reliability of critical structures, components, and equipment. Identifying faults and damage early on mitigates risks to prevent disastrous failures later down the line.

Quality Assurance
Non-destructive testing aids in quality control, assuring compliance with government regulations and industry standards. These standards set the benchmarks for integrity, ethics, and safety and protect stakeholders from legal, financial, and physical harm.
Cost Efficient
Identifying defects and risks before they escalate can prevent catastrophic future repairs and replacements. In addition, NDT ensures savings by decreasing production downtime, lost output, and unnecessary safety expenses.
Reduced Environmental Impact
NDT is a non-invasive testing procedure, making it a more sustainable integrity and inspection approach. Additionally, the process produces minimal waste as it does not require the destruction of test samples.

NDT For the Mining, Oil, and Gas Industries

NDT is crucial for safe, reliable, and compliant business operations. The process is multifaceted, with tests analysing various materials and systems to streamline processes and mitigate risks. At A.I. Inspection, we offer our NDT services to the mining, gas, and oil industries.

Testing Equipment, Components, and Systems

When it comes to mining, oil, and gas, reliability is non-negotiable. NDT, however, identifies deficiencies in equipment and systems before they become critical problems. Our technicians look for cracks, corrosion, and pressure force, locating any welding or structural issues along the way. Components we inspect may include:
  • Heavy machinery, such as frames, booms, buckets, and gears
  • Pipelines, pressure vessels, storage tanks
  • Conveyors, crushers, drilling rigs
  • Weld joints and connections
  • Geological samples
  • Casings and well tubings
  • Production equipment
  • Turbines and compressors
  • Safety systems and emergency equipment
