Ultrasound Testing

Ultrasound Testing

Identify internal defects and material conditions without disrupting asset integrity.

Our Ultrasonic Testing services use high-frequency sound waves to assess the condition of structural components and machinery. The technique supports the detection and evaluation of internal defects, material degradation, and changes that may not be visible through surface inspection.

Structural Ultrasonic Testing

We provide ultrasonic inspection for critical structural and mechanical components to assess material condition and identify potential integrity concerns.

Our services can support:

  • Wall-thickness measurement
  • Detection of internal discontinuities and material defects
  • Identification of material thinning and degradation
  • Weld and component inspection
  • Structural integrity assessment
  • Baseline measurements for ongoing condition monitoring

Machine Ultrasonic Testing

Ultrasonic techniques can also support machinery inspection by identifying abnormal conditions associated with components and operating equipment.

The results can complement other diagnostic methods to provide a broader understanding of equipment condition and support Root Cause Failure Analysis where required.

Business Value

Identify hidden conditions, verify asset integrity, and support safer operations.

Ultrasonic Testing provides measurable inspection data that can help organizations identify potential integrity issues before they develop into more serious failures, supporting maintenance planning, asset lifecycle management, and operational safety.

Technical Standards

Our inspection and assessment activities can be aligned with applicable ASME, API, BS, and ISO standards and project-specific requirements.

 

Integrated Asset Integrity Services

Our structural and ultrasonic diagnostics can work alongside our wider engineering and asset management services to provide a more complete view of asset condition.

  • Asset Monitoring & Predictive Maintenance — Feed acoustic and ultrasonic condition data into centralized monitoring and IoT platforms for broader asset visibility.
  • Machinery Diagnostics — Combine Acoustic Emission and Ultrasonic Testing with vibration and motor current analysis to support comprehensive machinery diagnostics.
  • Digital Maintenance Systems — Use inspection and integrity data to establish equipment baselines, support maintenance records, and inform targeted maintenance activities.
  • EPCM & Project Services — Support pre-commissioning and acceptance activities by assessing structural and mechanical integrity against applicable project and safety requirements.
