Testing & Inspection Services

With in-depth knowledge and experience across diverse inspection methods, materials, and processes, our testing and inspection experts serve a wide range of industries, both onshore and offshore. We employ advanced tools and techniques for comprehensive inspections, ensuring compliance with all relevant Australian and International Standards.

From piping and vessels to storage tanks, we guarantee your assets stay free from corrosion and defects while meeting all regulations. Additionally, our inspectors ensure the safe operation of lifting equipment and rigging gear, performing specialised services such as tank floor inspections, intelligent pigging, and API-compliant crane inspections.

Advanced Non-Destructive Testing

Altrad Australia isn’t just about testing, we’re about cutting-edge solutions. Our team is equipped with a vast arsenal of NDT and inspection techniques, both conventional and advanced. This ensures we have the right tool for your every need, delivered with meticulous planning, precise timing, and flawless execution.

We leverage a comprehensive toolbox of NDT techniques, including UT, RT, MPI, DPI, and ECT, to identify hidden flaws within materials, without causing damage. Additionally, our pressure testing services guarantee the integrity of pressure vessels and piping systems, providing a multi-layered approach to asset health.

With state-of-the-art workshops and fully equipped mobile testing facilities, we’re able to bring our expertise on-site, saving you valuable time and money with:

• Ultrasonic Testing (UT): Detects internal flaws and measures material thickness.
• Radiographic Testing (RT): Uses X-rays or gamma rays to inspect welds and materials.
• Magnetic Particle Testing (MT): Identifies surface and near-surface cracks in magnetic materials.
• Dye Penetrant Testing (PT): Reveals surface-breaking defects in non-porous materials.
• Eddy Current Testing (ECT): Detects surface and near-surface defects in conductive materials.

Our reliable hydrostatic testing safeguards pressure vessels, piping systems, and pressure safety valves (PSV) through the use of water, other liquid mediums and pneumatic to mimic real-world operational pressures and pressurise equipment. By exceeding such pressures in a controlled environment, we verify system strength and integrity to ensure your systems perform safely and reliably, including:

• Testing of both new and existing systems: Whether you’re commissioning a brand-new installation or ensuring the continued reliability of existing equipment, we’ve got you covered.
• Meticulous leak detection and verification: Our testing methods uncover even the smallest leaks, allowing for prompt repair and preventing potential failures.
• Functional testing of safety relief devices: We ensure critical safety equipment is operating as intended, ready to protect systems in the event of an overpressure situation.
• Detailed documentation and certification of test results: Receive a comprehensive report outlining the testing process, results, and any identified issues. This documentation serves as valuable proof of compliance with industry standards and regulations.

Don’t let hidden corrosion damage your productivity. Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) silently eats away at pipes, vessels, and assets, leading to costly repairs and unplanned downtime.

At Altrad Australia, we’re CUI specialists. With the expertise to identify the root causes of water leaks before they cause damage, our thermographic inspections detect CUI without disrupting operations, saving you valuable time and money.

We take a proactive approach to CUI prevention, conducting CUI risk assessments at the design phase to plan efficient inspection routines, allowing for early detection and prevention of potential issues. Our team is equipped to handle everything, from routine maintenance to complete insulation removal, steel repairs, and re-insulation.

We offer a toolbox of innovative CUI prevention products, including H2Obvious, Drainplug, and Protectem Flangebelt. These products provide early warning signs of water ingress, allow for drainage, and can be installed on both new and existing assets for comprehensive protection.

At Altrad Australia, we minimise downtime with fast turnaround times on calibrations, ensuring your equipment is always ready for optimal performance.

Our expert technicians work diligently to test and calibrate equipment quickly and efficiently. Every calibration adheres to strict international and Australian standards, and our NATA accreditation guarantees the highest level of accuracy and reliability.

We handle a vast array of instruments used in various applications. This includes pressure gauges (test and industrial grade), pressure chart recorders, torque gauges, pressure transducers, and a broad spectrum of general instruments within the 0-100,000 kPa pressure range. We offer both hydraulic and pneumatic calibration methods to suit all calibration needs.

We understand that the safety of your personnel and the integrity of your assets are paramount during testing and inspection activities. Our ‘Perfect Day’ approach fosters a safety-first culture, aiming for zero incidents and meticulous execution of all inspection tasks. Our highly skilled technicians rigorously adhere to the highest safety protocols, ensuring a secure and productive work environment for all on-site.

We are fully committed to complying with all relevant safety regulations and industry best practices specific to testing and inspection. By continuously refining our processes and leveraging the expertise of our team, we guarantee that your assets are inspected safely and to the highest standards.
