For Advanced NDT we intend the application of new technologies to traditional NDT, to be used both in fabrication shop and on-field, which may be applied to very critical plants and items.

These NDT present an high added value for the customer due to:

¨    Possibility of avoiding leakage of dangerous and polluting products.

¨    Possibility of carrying out inspection without shutting plants down and avoiding undesired shut down (Predictive Maintenance)

¨    Possibility of reducing costs for scheduled Turn-around

¨    Possibility of extending the life of items with very high replacement costs.

¨    Possibility of reducing accessory costs for performing controls (insulation removal, scaffolding, lifting,…)

¨    Impossibility of performing any other inspection.

We have grouped Advanced NDT according to their application fields

¨    Above Ground Storage Tanks

•         ACOUSTIC EMISSIONS in-service inspection of flat bottom storage tanks.

•         MAGNETIC FLUX LEAKAGE floor corrosion survey of above ground storage tank

•         MAGNETIC RADIO CONTROLLED TROLLEY for tank (shell and roof), and column thickness gauge survey.

¨    Plants (Refining, Petrochemicals, Utilities)

•           DIGITAL RADIOGRAPHY: Corrosion Monitoring under insulation (CUI)

•           TUBE INSPECTION: Multi technology system approach

§       IRIS: Internal Rotating Inspection System for thickness measurements of pipes from inside.

§       REMOTE FIELD for magnetic tube inspection

§       EDDY CURRENTS for non magnetic tube inspection

¨    Fabrication shop (Caldareria)

•           Automatic UT Inspection with scanner and TOFD

•           Automatic UT Inspection of tube to plate welds in Heat exchangers and Urea Strippers
