What We Offer …
Comprehensive Rope Access Inspections
Our certified rope access specialists provide safe and efficient access to even the most hard-to-reach locations, enabling thorough infrastructure and mechanical integrity inspections. By eliminating the need for costly and time-consuming scaffolding, we minimize operational disruptions and deliver critical insights into your asset conditions with greater speed and flexibility. Our focus is on providing precise data that supports your maintenance, safety, and compliance programs, ensuring the long-term reliability of your equipment.
Our comprehensive rope access inspection services include:
- Visual Inspection: Corrosion detection through visual and magnetic particle testing.
- Surface Evaluation: Surface evaluations for wear and damage.
- Conventional NDT: We deploy a full range of non-destructive testing methods, including visual (VT), magnetic particle (MT), and penetrant (PT) testing to detect surface and near-surface flaws.
- Advanced NDT: Phased Array UT (PAUT), Time of Flight Diffraction (TOFD), Digital & Computed Radiography, Guided Wave, Eddy Current, and Corrosion Mapping.
- Ultrasonic Thickness Testing (UTT): Our technicians perform precision thickness measurements to monitor corrosion, erosion, and material loss, providing essential data for mechanical integrity programs.
- Structural and Surface Evaluations: We conduct detailed assessments of welds, coatings, and structural components to identify signs of wear, fatigue, and environmental damage before they escalate.
- Certified Reporting: All findings are meticulously documented in detailed reports, giving you the certified, actionable information needed to ensure regulatory compliance and make informed maintenance decisions.
