We perform all of our lifting device inspections per federal, state, local or specific code.
Manufacturing
From the newly formed billets to the final products, NDT can help you find materials that are not up to standards. Finding these issues early in the manufacturing process saves time and money that would have been spent processing the materials into final products only to be rejected after all the work was done. These tests are relatively quick and easy for use to perform.
Maritime & Shipbuilding
The best time to find a problem with ships is when they are close to shore. Don’t skip inspections that could save your maritime assets and keep your crews safe. Let us inspect these for defects before they are sent out into the open water. Corrosion can be a slow process and we can locate and have it repaired before it causes bigger problems.
Nuclear Industry
Safety at nuclear plants is imperative. As recent events in Japan have shown, when these facilities are unable to contain radioactive materials, the results can be devastating. Midgard NDT can perform leak testing, pressure vessel testing, and a variety of other tests that can ensure safe operations for producing energy.
