THE INSPECTION DECISION
Move from an indication concern to an inspection plan.
A useful inspection starts with a clear question: where might damage be present, what form could it take, and what decision will the results support?
We review your material, component geometry, access and target damage mechanism to establish whether surface or tube ECA is a suitable route for the enquiry.

Where is the inspection challenge?
Start with the asset and the indication you need to find. Explore the relevant inspection route, then send drawings and material details for a scoped proposal.
Welds and nearby surfaces
Assess a defined weld or heat-affected-zone concern with suitable surface coverage.

Why consider an array approach?
01 / Coverage
Scan a wider path
Multiple coil elements can examine an appropriate surface swath in a planned pass.
02 / Context
Locate indications
Compatible encoded setups can relate signals to inspection position and display a reviewable map.
03 / Focus
Match the damage mechanism
Surface and tube arrays can be configured around particular geometries and flaw orientations.
These are method possibilities, subject to equipment, probe design, procedure and component conditions. Read how feasibility is assessed.
From component details to a useful proposal
Tell us what matters
Share asset location, material, dimensions, access, suspected degradation, quantity and applicable inspection criteria. We can then review coverage, technique options and reporting needs for the actual scope.
Use drawings, access details and inspection objectives to scope the work.
- Share geometry, material and expected damage mechanism.
- Confirm outage windows, access conditions and quantity.
- Align the inspection route with the decision the results must support.
