Structural NDT Inspection

At 3WIS we are working towards accreditation in ISO 17020 and 17025, making us qualified to perform NDT inspection of our own welding procedures.

NDT Inspection for steel and mechanical structures

Structural NDT Inspection for steel- and mechanical structures is a vital part of our business at 3WIS with +5000 performed inspections covered in our portfolio. Our services for structural NDT inspection covers areas related to infrastructure, energy and marine structures, mainly on bearing elements vital for the structures continues operation and safe maintenance. 

Our NDT inspection team can deliver solutions ranging from highly advanced methods targeted confined spaces or at heights involving rope access, platforms or robots, towards using specific NDT methods:
- Eddy Current Testing (ET)
- Visual Testing (VT)
- Ultrasonic Testing (UT)
- Magnetic Particle Testing (Fluorescent or color contrast)
- Penetrant Inspection (Fluorescent or color contrast)
- Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT)
- Time of Flight Diffraction Testing (TOFT)

How we create value through structural NDT inspection

”NDT is a crucial part of the solutions we offer at 3WIS, whether it be through the repair proces or looking at the longevity and lifetime
extension of the asset. We are able to involve our own competencies to ensure a better preparation of the NDT procedure and repair process afterwards. All together giving the client a faster and much better outcome for a potential repair, avoiding the risk of information falling between two chairs. Through our UKAS accreditation, we are able to perform NDT inspection on our own repair procedures."

The process of Structural NDT Inspections

1. The initial step before any inspection is performed, is that a visual analysis is handed over from our Project & Engineering department to our NDT specialists. Giving a thorough understanding of the specific issue and potential hotspots.

2. Procedure planning with relevant methods of NDT, either advanced or conventional. Based on the visual analysis, the full procedure is planned in-house by our back office NDT specialists.
3. All work instructions that are vital for performing a safe and qualified procedure are described and approved step-by-step. Here we also ensure the right methods and equipment is used.

4. The inspection scope is presented to the client who decides whether we develop our own procedure or work according to their own procedure standard. Suggested methods working alongside the client, we suggest methods for potential advanced NDT.
5. The actual NDT Inspection procedure is performed on-site, with the required methods and equipment.

6. After the NDT Inspection, a detailed report is made for findings
7. Instantly after the inspection report has been made, the findings are handed over to our engineering team or the client.
