Conventional NDE

As an industry leader in non-destructive testing (NDT) inspection, TechCorr offers an expansive suite of traditional NDT solutions as the basis of many of our asset protection programs.

Non-destructive testing — also known as nondestructive examination (NDE) and nondestructive inspection (NDI), depending on the industry — is an efficient way to inspect equipment because there's no need to shut down or enter an asset, increasing uptime and productivity. Unlike destructive testing, NDT's non-intrusive application does not materially affect the integrity of the asset being inspected.

Mobile NDE Laboratories

TechCorr operates approximately 150 mobile NDE laboratories with experienced technicians qualified in accordance with ASNT (American Society of Non-Destructive Testing). A typical mobile laboratory is equipped with personnel and equipment able to execute nearly all conventional NDE techniques including Radiography (RT), Magnetic Particle Testing (MT), Dye Penetrant Testing (PT), Ultrasonic Thickness Testing (UTT), and Positive Material Identification (PMI).

Technique Selection

Each NDT technique is designed to detect and/or quantify specific damages. Ultrasonic testing is effective to detect and track active flaws, corrosion, and erosion, while acoustic emission is an effective choice for fatigue, leaking, and cracking. TechCorr offers an extensive range of NDT techniques, along with subject matter experts to assist in selecting the appropriate method.

As many clients' inspection needs are in at-height, confined space, and subsea locations, TechCorr's NDT inspection services include rope access teams, certified unmanned system pilots, and trained divers to ensure assets in hard-to-reach locations are inspected as regularly as they need to be.
