Non-Destructive Testing

Comprehensive Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) across Australia — inspecting welds, structures and equipment for defects without causing damage.

Overview

Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) is a suite of inspection techniques used to evaluate the integrity of materials, welds, components and structures without damaging them or taking them out of service. NDT Australia delivers the full range of NDT methods — ultrasonic, eddy current, magnetic particle, dye penetrant and visual inspection — to councils, utilities, mining operators and heavy industry nationwide.

Because NDT leaves the asset intact, it is the preferred approach for ongoing condition monitoring, compliance inspections and defect investigation. Our technicians hold current AINDT certification and issue clear, defensible reports that stand up to auditors, insurers and regulators.
