Specialist Inspection Services
Non-Destructive Testing has radically changed emphasis over recent years from a focus on detecting defects arising during the manufacture of new products, to detecting process induced integrity problems. Oceaneering Inspection has established itself at the forefront of an NDT technological revolution by a process of investment in state-of-the-art equipment and specialised training to meet this step-change. The result is an infrastructure that offers a comprehensive range of Specialist Inspection Services (SIS) that individually or in combination provide state of the art solutions to the ever-increasing demand for Non-Invasive Inspection.
From strategically located centres of excellence, SIS services are coordinated on a worldwide basis and offer a proven record of delivering a safe, technically sound and cost effective service. The SIS department employs experienced fully qualified NDT level III technical support personnel who maintain the organisations competitive advantage by constantly monitoring and evaluating incremental and radical innovations in inspection technology.
Acoustic Ranger (brochure)
Rapid technique for the detection of leaks and blockages in tubes and pipes.
Alternating Current Field Measurement (ACFM)
Quick and reliable technique for the detection of surface breaking cracks through paint and similar protective coatings.
Computed Radiography (brochure)
A reliable, cost effective alternative to conventional film by employing flexible, re-usable phosphor plates or ìscreensî to capture images. The technology particularly compliments the SCAR system to provide a safe, rapid and environmentally friendly service.
Corrosion Mapping (brochure)
Non-invasive ultrasonic corrosion mapping providing a reproducible fingerprint.
EMAT
Dry coupled wall thickness measurement requiring minimum surface preparation.
Guided Wave Fingerprinting (GWF)
Rapid and reliable technique for accurately assessing wall thickness changes using permanently installed sensors, under wrapped or insulated pipes, plates and vessels.
Hydrotector (brochure)
Detection of moisture in thermal insulation.
Long Range Ultrasonic (brochure)
Rapid and reliable technique for assessing condition of small and large diameter pipes. Particularly useful for detection of CUI.
Magnetic Flux Leakage (MFL)
Rapid Inspection of pipes and storage tank floors for the detection of corrosion and erosion.
Pulsed Eddy Current (PEC) (brochure)
Non-contact technique for measuring the thickness of steel through any non-magnetic material.
Real Time Imaging
“Sentinel” hand held, real-time imagescope used primarily for the detection of CUI.
Spider / Scanmap VS
Remote operated scanner vehicle primarily use for visual and ultrasonic thickness surveys and mapping of tank walls, vessels and pipes.
Thermography
An imaging technique for detecting heat distribution over the surface of an object using an infra red sensitive camera.
Time Of Flight Diffraction (TOFD) (brochure)
A semi-automatic ultrasonic technique using Time of Flight diffracted signals for detecting and accurately sizing flaws.
Tube Inspection (brochure)
Inspection of ferrous and non-ferrous small diameter tubes:
- IRIS
- Eddy Current
- Remote Field Eddy Current
- Dinsearch
Phased Array – Manual (brochure)
A phased array transducer enables an ultrasonic beam to be electronically focused or swept in angle along the length of the array reducing the scanning requirement of conventional transducers. Technique can be used in lieu of radiography in the correct circumstances.
