The objective of NDE (Non- Destructive Examinations) is to detect discontinuities, flaws and other defects in
a structure or component, not normally detectable by naked-eye, in such a manner that the test does not harm
the material in any way.
We can safely affirm to be the one and only company worldwide able to offer a complete range of NDE techniques specific to the Yachting Industry, all ‘under one roof’. Our portfolio of solutions grants us a unique status that allows us to offer the most suitable NDE technique for the problem at hand rather than bending a technique to suit a problem. Moreover, our full range of NDE techniques allows us to confirm flaws by cross-referencing findings.
Our examinations are carried out not by generalist NDE Technicians but by a team of specialist Marine Surveyors / Engineers holding NDE qualifications and with in-depth knowledge of marine structures & systems. Although based in Palma de Mallorca (Spain) our services are offered worldwide.
Our range of services includes both Advanced NDE and Conventional NDE techniques which can be
extremely valuable in a wide spectrum of
applications such as:
- Quality Assurance - during production
- Condition Monitoring - during service life
- Condition Evaluation – during Pre- Purchase Surveys
- Damage Assessment – after accident or failure has occurred
- Repair Documentation – certification of structural / critical repairs
Our advanced technology solutions allow our clients to make informed decisions and avoid costly
breakdowns.
The greatest majority of our ‘competitors’ are either generalist NDE providers supplying services to a wide range of mostly non-marine industries (aerospace, petrochemical, railways, etc) or independent Marine Surveyors generally focusing on no more than one technique to ‘suit all needs’.
However, this ‘one-size-fits-all’ concept is extremely limiting and does not relate to the real NDE world, and especially not to the Yachting Industry, where each vessel is unique and each problem needs to be looked at individually employing the most adequate NDE technique.
The choice of a non-destructive technique is not always easy and depends on several parameters:
type of material, thickness, geometry, type of researched defects, accessibility of the structure,
surface, time and cost, etc. The solution is generally a trade-off or the combination of several methods.
