International Inspection performs comprehensive NDT inspections to determine the health of clients’ industrial assets. Large assets — structures, equipment, vessels, etc. — inevitably deteriorate over time due to a variety of factors. Manufacturing and fabricating are precise but ultimately imperfect processes, as sometimes parts go into service that bear flaws such as voids, cracks, porosity, etc. Furthermore, using an asset outside of the service conditions specified in its design document (such as the maximum allowable working pressure (MAWP) for a pressure vessel) can result in permanent damage and hazardous working conditions. Yet, even when produced correctly and used precisely as intended in its design specifications, the asset’s base materials undergo a range of agents that threaten to compromise its overall effectiveness and structural integrity; factors including corrosion, cyclical stresses, environmental weathering, vibrations, and the like cause incremental breakdown over time that can lead to complete, costly failure.
