Ultrasonic testing (UT) and phased array (PAUT)
Internal flaw detection and laminate assessment on composite blades, weld inspection on steel structures.
Non-destructive testing (NDT) services
We listen to the material before it fails.
Non-destructive testing and inspection on wind turbine blades, steel structures, tanks and pipelines, delivered where the part is, including at height.

- blade inspection at height
Most NDT companies stop at the ladder. Our inspectors are rope access technicians, so the test comes to the structure: a blade at 100 metres, a tank roof, a pipe rack, a tower weld. Same instruments, same standards, no scaffolding.
Methods
Thickness measurement (UTM)
Wall thickness surveys on tanks, pipelines, vessels and structural steel in refineries, petrochemical plants and power stations.
Visual inspection (VT)
Close visual inspection with photo and video documentation, by rope access or drone, with categorized findings.
Lightning protection system testing
Continuity and resistance measurement on wind turbine blades. See our wind turbine services.
Anchor and bolt testing
Pull-out and proof load tests on anchors, rock bolts and structural fasteners, with load certificates. Used on our rockfall and slope projects.
Reporting
Every inspection ends with a written report: method, equipment and calibration, findings with location and severity, photos, and a recommendation. Reports follow EN ISO 9712 qualified personnel and client or OEM acceptance criteria.
Who it is for
Wind farm operators and OEMs, refineries and petrochemical plants, power stations, steel structure owners, insurers and third-party inspection bodies.
Frequently asked questions
Do you need scaffolding for thickness measurement?
No. Our inspectors are rope access technicians, so wall thickness surveys on tanks, pipelines and vessels are carried out without scaffolding.
What does an inspection report contain?
Method, equipment and calibration, findings with location and severity, photos and a recommendation.
Can you inspect a wind turbine blade in place?
Yes. UT and PAUT are carried out on installed blades, by rope access, including bonding lines, shear webs and carbon areas.

All articlesPAUT on wind turbine blades: what the C-scan actually shows
A visual inspection tells you what the blade looks like. Ultrasonic testing tells you what is happening under the surface, where the expensive damage starts.
Rockfall barrier energy classes explained
A barrier is sold by its kilojoule rating, but the number on the datasheet only means something once you know which rock, from which height, and how often.
