50+ Years Experience

We have been providing non-destructive testing services since 1973

Certified in Canada & USA

We are certified by the Canadian Welding Bureau (C.W.B.) to C.S.A. Standard W178.1 and the American Welding Society (AWS) to AWS QC1. We provide service to procedures and codes, including C.S.A. W59 and ASME.

Service Area

Primarily serving Niagara and the surrounding region. We can accommodate out of area inspections as well.

Non-Destructive Testing Services

Radiography

Radiography produces a visual picture on radiography film.  We use X-Ray and Iridium.

Magnetic particle

Detection of surface and near-to-surface discontinuities in things like welds, stress areas

Ultrasonic Testing

High frequency sound can be used to detect internal
discontinuities in welds, plates

Liquid Penetration

Liquid Penetration is used to detect surface discontinuities in non-porous materials

Crane / Heavy Equip

We inspect cranes and heavy equipment

Hardness Testing

An impact test can be used to verify material hardness

Visual Inspection

We can inspect to ensure structures conform to builder’s intentions and code

Positive Material Identification

Detect and measure the concentration of elements in substances such as alloys

More Information on Testing Services

X-ray testing of light allow materials or gamma inspection of welded structures can be performed. Radiography can determine the internal volumetric soundness of material varying from very thin to sections several inches thick. Our equipment is portable so that performance of the inspection and processing of the film can be done on site allowing for quick turnaround times and fast accurate results.

Ultrasound Inspection to determine corrosion rates of existing structures, piping and components or shear wave inspection to verify the volumetric soundness of welds can be performed.

Periodic inspection programs can be developed to monitor systems and accumulate data to determine operating life of process equipment.

Inspection of ferromagnetic material can be accomplished in the field job site or shop location. Portable inspection with dry powder, wet visible and wet fluorescent applications can be performed. This testing is the most sensitive for detecting the presence of open to surface cracking on welded ferrous structures, forged components, or formed ferrous materials.

Inspection of non-ferrous materials is performed by this method to determine open to surface indications. This portable method can utilize visible or fluorescent inspection fluids to produce sharp indications. This testing is most sensitive for dsetecting the presence of open to surface cracking on non-ferrous welded structures, forged components, or formed ferrous materials.

Inspection of welded and erected structures to verify that manufacture and assembly confirm to the builder’s intentions and code requirements. This can be accomplished by but not limited to dimensional sizes of welds, torque testing of bolted structures, proper welding equipment and settings, the verification of welder’s qualifications and the company’s fabrication and erection certification.

Positive Material Identification (PMI) is an easy method of determining the type of alloy material being embodied into a final assembly or to determine what the existing allow may be so that a repair schemes may be determined. This method can also verify the composition of welded consumable used in fabrication to ensure the correct welding materials was used to join the parent materials.

Hardness Testing is an impact test that can be used to verify the material hardness of existing structures or welding consumables used in the joining process.

We inspect cranes and heavy equipment
