Our UK based NDT & Inspection team, led byย Stephen Chambers, carry out major on and offshore inspection methods for aging turbines or turbines that are new in service. Our catalogue of inspection methods ranges far and wide, and among others we can mention:ย
๐๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ ๐ฐ๐๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ป๐ ๐๐ฒ๐๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด (๐๐ง)
A method performed on mainframes and turbine towers that makes us capable of testing issuesย withoutย the need to removeย paint to identify flaws inย metal surfaces and welds.ย
Non-destructive testing which can detect surface and subsurface defects of the welds,ย usedย postย ETย if any indications found with the latter method.ย
By sending ultrasonic waves through a structure or material, we can detect potential flaws in key safety points in e.g., ladder welds and platforms.ย
๐ฃ๐ต๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ ๐จ๐น๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐๐ผ๐ป๐ถ๐ฐ ๐ง๐ฒ๐๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด (๐ฃ๐๐จ๐ง)
An advanced NDT technique that detectsย defectsย in metal and composites andย provides us withย accurate and detailedย information about the depth,ย size, and severity ofย the defect.ย

The inspection is performed on both aging turbines and turbines that are new in service, using rope access or drones to inspect e.g., the blades of the turbine, main structures, and internal frames. If flaws are detected, further inspections andย solutions can be implemented to prevent down time of assets.ย
