Continuous Evolution in Thickness Testing and Corrosion Mapping
Asset degradation accelerates over time, making early detection critical. We invest heavily in the newest ultrasonic and corrosion scanning equipment to provide the fastest, most accurate, and most actionable integrity assessments available.
NDTScan operates a diversified fleet of portable, semi-automated, and fixed ultrasonic inspection solutions to suit varying site demands and risk profiles.
Our Advanced Thickness Testing and Corrosion Mapping Technologies
Every asset presents unique monitoring needs. We select thickness and corrosion systems based on material type, thickness range, access method, and inspection standard requirements.
Our platform includes:
- Ultrasonic Thickness Gauges: Accurate wall thickness measurement without surface removal or cutting.
- Corrosion Mapping Scanners: Full-field wall thinning detection over large surface areas.
- Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT) Systems: Detailed defect imaging and wall loss quantification.
- Remote Access Crawlers: Inspection of tanks, vessels, and pipelines with minimal access disruption.
- Predictive Analysis Software: Condition trending, asset life estimation, and maintenance planning support.
Why Our Thickness Testing and Corrosion Mapping Approach Extends Asset Life
We constantly enhance our inspection capabilities to deliver clearer insights, faster mobilisation, and earlier defect detection — enabling clients to extend asset lifespan safely and cost-effectively.
Precision Thickness Testing and Corrosion Mapping for Asset Longevity
At NDTScan, Thickness Testing and Corrosion Mapping are not tick-box inspections — they’re essential tools in preventing failure, unplanned shutdowns, and unnecessary asset replacement. We help clients across energy, water, petrochemical, marine, and structural sectors to track material degradation, quantify remaining wall thickness, and make better-informed decisions on repairs or replacement.
From Thickness Testing and Corrosion Mapping external corrosion on pipelines to internal thinning in pressure vessels, we uncover the real condition of your assets — even in high-risk or hard-to-access environments. And because we use the most advanced ultrasonic and digital scanning systems available, our data doesn’t just highlight a problem — it shows you exactly where it is, how bad it is, and what to do about it.
What Makes Our Thickness Testing Different?
Too many operators still rely on outdated point-check methods or basic UT gauges with limited interpretation. At NDTScan, we’ve moved beyond that. Our platforms incorporate phased array imaging, digital corrosion mapping, and predictive analytics, enabling high-resolution coverage over entire surfaces, not just spot checks.
When Thickness Testing and Corrosion Mapping and scanning entire zones rather than sampling small areas, we eliminate guesswork and provide a complete picture of wall loss, pitting, and corrosion progression. That means more confident decisions, safer operations, and fewer surprises during shutdowns or maintenance windows.
Where Thickness Testing and Corrosion Mapping is Used – Key Application Areas
1. Pressure Vessels and Tanks
Corrosion, especially under insulation (CUI), can silently reduce wall thickness in storage vessels. Our techniques allow accurate assessment through coatings and around complex geometries. Whether you’re planning a major shutdown or responding to a known issue, our surveys identify both general wall loss and localised pitting.
2. Pipelines – Above and Below Ground
Flowlines, gas mains, condensate lines, and slurry pipes are all vulnerable to internal erosion and external corrosion. We carry out systematic thickness testing along known hotspots, including elbows, welds, and low-point drains, while offering full-field scanning for larger pipeline sections.
Using magnetic crawlers or encircling scanners, we can inspect while lines remain online in many cases — significantly reducing disruption.
3. Marine and Offshore Structures
Saltwater exposure accelerates corrosion in risers, hulls, and submerged supports. Our Thickness Testing and Corrosion Mapping tools work both above and below the splash zone, supporting offshore platforms, ship maintenance programmes, and floating wind foundations. Remote access equipment helps reduce diver time and operational risk.
4. Structural Steel and Load-Bearing Frames
When steel frames, gantries, or crane beams degrade over time, wall thinning and rusting often go unnoticed until major damage occurs. Our inspections measure residual thickness and determine whether structural capacity remains within safe limits — crucial for compliance and asset valuation.
5. Utilities and Infrastructure
From water treatment facilities to power generation plants, our corrosion surveys support asset owners in maintaining compliance, improving uptime, and justifying capital planning based on hard data.
Our Core Inspection Capabilities
Our Thickness Testing and Corrosion Mapping fleet includes a wide range of ultrasonic and scanning systems to suit every inspection challenge:
-
Ultrasonic Thickness Gauges (UTG): For fast, accurate wall thickness measurements on accessible surfaces. Ideal for pipework, plates, and vessels. We use both single-echo and multi-echo modes depending on material and coating thickness.
-
Corrosion Mapping Scanners: Digitised raster-scanning systems that create full-colour wall thickness maps. These provide visual insight into areas of concern and help identify corrosion patterns or systemic wear.
-
Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT): Allows high-resolution wall loss imaging and flaw detection in welded joints, nozzles, and complex geometries. Ideal for defect sizing and critical path components.
-
Magnetic Crawlers and Remote Systems: For tanks, large-diameter pipelines, or high-risk zones. These allow for coverage of large areas with minimal scaffolding or access complications.
-
Data Logging and Reporting Software: All inspection data is recorded digitally, logged against asset IDs, and presented with actionable insights — including trends, hotspots, and forecasted thinning rates.
-
Predictive Analytics: For long-term clients or those managing critical infrastructure, we provide degradation modelling that projects future wall thickness, remaining life, and inspection intervals. This supports budgeting and regulatory compliance.
Why Thickness Testing and Corrosion Mapping Matter
Corrosion is a silent threat. It doesn’t announce itself with a bang — until it does. And by that point, it’s often too late. By performing regular, advanced thickness surveys, we help clients:
-
Avoid unexpected shutdowns or leaks
-
Extend inspection intervals based on actual condition
-
Avoid blanket replacements with targeted repairs
-
Improve asset valuation for compliance or insurance
-
Protect public safety, especially in energy and water sectors
Our inspections often pay for themselves in avoided downtime alone. And the visual clarity of our corrosion maps makes it easy to brief stakeholders, justify CAPEX decisions, or plan future maintenance with confidence.
Integration with Your Asset Management Strategy
We don’t just drop in, scan, and leave. Our inspection services integrate seamlessly with your existing asset management systems, CMMS platforms, or risk-based inspection (RBI) frameworks. Whether you need API 570 or 653 alignment, structural steel risk scoring, or cross-site benchmarking, we can deliver data that feeds directly into your reporting and compliance model.
For clients managing multi-site portfolios — such as water companies, energy providers, or infrastructure operators — we offer inspection standardisation and condition scoring to ensure consistency across all assets.
Access, Safety, and Efficiency in Thickness Testing and Corrosion Mapping
We design every corrosion mapping and thickness testing job to minimise disruption and maximise safety. Our teams are trained to work in confined spaces, at height, and in hazardous zones — often eliminating the need for intrusive access or full asset shutdown.
We also deploy drones, robotic crawlers, and rope access teams where conventional inspection methods aren’t viable — enabling you to get the data you need without costly scaffolding, downtime, or intrusive operations.
The Bottom Line
At NDTScan, we understand that your assets are only as strong as their thinnest point. Our Thickness Testing and Corrosion Mapping services provide you with the data needed to act early, plan accurately, and extend asset life safely.
Whether it’s a simple pipeline check or a full corrosion baseline for a refinery shutdown, we bring the equipment, expertise, and clarity to get the job done right — first time.
