A Holistic Inspection Process

Effective mechanical integrity is not just about finding cracks and pits; it's about understanding why they are there. With 25 years of hands-on experience, we go beyond standard NDT to analyze your entire process. We understand that the temperature, pressure, fluid chemistry, and flow dynamics inside your equipment are the direct cause of the damage we find on the outside.

Our philosophy is simple: We inspect the system, not just the steel. By connecting the NDT data to the realities of your process, we can pinpoint the root cause of corrosion, predict future problem areas, and provide recommendations that are not just repairs, but long-term solutions. This proactive, knowledge-based method is ultimately more cost-effective, preventing repeat failures and catching critical issues before they become catastrophic.

Our expertise lies in understanding the relationship between your operations and the specific damage mechanisms that result. We don't just find pitting; we determine if it's caused by under-deposit corrosion from trapped water in a slug catcher, carbonic acid corrosion from dissolved CO₂ in a wet gas line, or impingement damage from a poorly designed inlet pipe. This deep understanding of Process Technology allows us to provide targeted and effective solutions.

1. Process Consultation & Scope Definition: We begin by developing a targeted inspection brief.      This is a collaborative discussion where we learn about your process—the      service fluid, potential contaminants, and operational history—to focus our      efforts on the highest-risk areas.
2. On-Site Data Acquisition & NDT Management: We perform thorough on-site visual inspections and      manage all required NDT. As your expert representative, we specify and      oversee any advanced NDT that needs to be subcontracted, ensuring the      right technology is used for the job.
3. Integrated Engineering Analysis: We correlate all NDT data with your operational      parameters to answer the critical question: Why is the corrosion      happening here, and what does it tell us about the health of the entire      system?
4. Reporting & Strategic Recommendations: You receive a comprehensive report with actionable      recommendations for repairs, process adjustments, and future monitoring to      ensure the long-term integrity of your assets.
