We provide Non Destructive Testing services in the following disciplines:

• Eddy Current test: Eddy current testing is one of several non-destructive testing methods that uses the electromagnetism principle for flaw detection in conductive materials. A specially designed coil energised with an alternating-current is placed in proximity to the test surface, generating a changing magnetic field that interacts with the test-part and produces eddy currents in the vicinity, used for the listed purposes below:
  1. Flaw detection;
  2. Material and coating thickness measurements;
  3. Material identification;
  4. Heat treatment condition of materials.
     


• Industrial Surveying (Integrity testing): Industrial surveying and measurement is becoming more and more significant. As technical progress continues, the requirements for measurement systems and for precision in plants and machines are increasing all the time. In most areas of machine and plant construction as well as in production processes, the tolerances for deviations from standards are becoming more and more strict. Most tolerances are now less than one millimeter. The reliability of turbines, production lines, cranes and other machines are a top priority not only as an aspect of quality assurance but also to guarantee safety. Key tolerances must be measured and monitored with highly precise measurement devices. The measurement instruments and measurement methods that we use are adapted exactly to your requirements and the objects and elements that are to be measured to provide the client with precise results that are required o the activities below:
  1. Measurement and surveying of electrical substations

  A technical failure in a substation could result in a power failure for entire cities or regions. For electricity suppliers this can entail income losses and damage to public reputation. To avoid such negative consequences, we support utility companies with surveying for electrical substations, design plans and construction activities and can also provide control measurements with 3D laser scanners on a long term basis.

  2. Settlement measurements

  Settlement measurements are particularly significant for heavy building structures and construction elements. Through their heavy weight or through vibrations the foundation earth can be deformed over time which may cause structures to sink. With settlement measurements planned from the start, it is possible to take preventive measures should settlement occur so that damages and loss of income are avoided.

  3. Plant measurements

  Monitoring plant installations and components is also part of our comprehensive services in the area of industrial surveying and measurement. Over time, ongoing motions can result in wear and tear that may in turn cause deformations which can have a negative impact on plant operation. We provide exceedingly exact measurement results.

  4. Reverse engineering

  With reverse engineering measurements and visualizations are used to go from the finished product to a 3D model which provides information about individual components. The highly precise 3D model is generated using 3D laser scanning. With discrete reconstruction of all surfaces, a precise CAD model is prepared as all surfaces are necessary for effective modeling. With this type of reverse engineering process, the specific dimensions of prototypes can be captured, for example. This makes it relatively simple to visualize and reproduce missing design elements.
