Best Practices for Utilizing Non-Destructive Testing for In-Service Bridge Inspection
Posted: 2023-3-29Like an X-ray is used to see inside the human body, non-destructive testing (NDT) can be a powerful and effective means of understanding a bridge’s structural integrity without damaging the structure—and the key to achieving greater structural health, efficiency and safety on large-scale projects.
But sometimes, common NDT tools–from ultrasound and dye penetrant, to eddy current and magnetic particle testing, can be a "knee jerk" reaction—and get misapplied by those not as familiar or conversant wi...Read More.

Don’t Crack Under Pressure: How Eddy Current Array Helps Spot Chloride Stress Corrosion Cracking in Stainless Steel Pipes
Posted: 2023-3-28There are many non-destructive testing (NDT) techniques, but not all of them are suited to every type of application. For example, X-rays, or radiography, and computed tomography cannot be deployed without access to both sides of the asset and require extensive operator training. Similarly, ultrasonic testing is very versatile but requires direct contact and appropriate coupling with the surface under test, which is not always possible.
When it comes to chloride stress corrosion cracking (ClSCC or ...Read More.

Rolling on to Better Tank Inspection Data and Decision Making
Posted: 2023-3-7Many owners of storage tanks understand the burden of inspecting tank shells and roofs for corrosion degradation. On one hand, the inspection quality needs to be met, while on the other hand personnel safety needs to be ensured. To make it even more complicated, downtime of the asset must be minimized. A traditional way of performing tank wall thickness degradation inspection is by ultrasonic wall thickness spot check measurements using a rope access approach or by building scaffolding. This approach leads ...Read More.
