NDTScan collaborates with Mistras Group to deliver advanced NDT and structural health monitoring services across high-risk sectors including nuclear, oil & gas, petrochemicals, and large-scale civil infrastructure. Mistras Group provides full-scope ultrasonic, acoustic, radiographic, and advanced sensor-based monitoring with ISO and ASNT-certified expertise.
We integrate Mistras Group technologies for complex inspection programmes that demand multi-disciplinary testing, remote data logging, or continuous integrity monitoring.
Continuous Innovation in Asset Integrity
When failure is not an option, Mistras Group delivers. Their custom inspection programmes combine field-tested tools with long-term data tracking, enabling proactive risk reduction and standards compliance on critical structures.
Our Mistras Inspection Services
- Ultrasonic Testing (UT & PAUT): For weld inspection, thickness measurement, and internal flaw detection on pressure vessels, tanks, and structural steel.
- Acoustic Emission (AE): Used to monitor crack growth or leak detection during active loading or pressure cycles.
- Radiographic Testing (RT): High-resolution imaging of welds and pipework, supporting fabrication and lifecycle assurance.
- Structural Health Monitoring (SHM): Installation of permanent sensor arrays for real-time condition monitoring on bridges, towers, and offshore structures.
- Pipeline Integrity Programmes: Corrosion mapping, CP surveys, and multi-sensor inspection for upstream and downstream infrastructure.
Why We Use Mistras Group
Mistras Group offers unrivalled scale, technical support, and sector experience. For large, multi-site or high-risk programmes, they are a trusted partner — providing data and engineering insight that meets the most demanding codes and client standards.
Other Tools Considered
We operate our own NDT fleet for most fieldwork but partner with Mistras on specialist jobs requiring acoustic, radiographic, or continuous sensor-based integrity verification.
Integrated Inspection Solutions with Mistras Group NDT UK
At NDTScan, we partner with Mistras Group NDT UK to deliver complex inspection, testing, and monitoring programmes that go beyond conventional non-destructive testing. When asset integrity is critical — and failure is not an option — we turn to Mistras for scalable, standards-compliant inspection solutions backed by decades of sector-leading expertise.
Whether it’s pressure boundary integrity in a petrochemical plant, acoustic leak detection in a nuclear facility, or structural monitoring across a long-span bridge, this partnership gives our clients access to multi-disciplinary NDT and real-time data-driven health monitoring under a single coordinated delivery framework.
We combine Mistras technologies with our own fleet of portable and advanced inspection systems — enabling us to provide full lifecycle support, from fabrication verification to long-term structural health monitoring (SHM).
High-Stakes Sectors Demand Proven Assurance
Mistras is globally recognised for its work in the nuclear, oil & gas, petrochemical, and heavy civil infrastructure sectors, where inspection quality, traceability, and performance under extreme conditions are essential.
Their systems are deployed to manage and reduce risk in:
-
Nuclear containment vessels and plant equipment
-
Refineries and processing facilities
-
Live pipelines and pressure-rated infrastructure
-
Bridges, piers, and complex transport structures
-
Storage tanks, columns, and heavy vessel welds
In these environments, NDT is not simply a compliance task — it’s a safety-critical process tied directly to operational reliability, regulatory acceptance, and asset longevity. That’s why we choose Mistras for extended programmes that require auditable processes, advanced sensors, and long-term data support.
Field-Tested NDT with Advanced Capabilities
Our collaboration with Mistras NDT UK provides access to a broad toolkit of non-destructive testing techniques, each selected based on material type, inspection target, site environment, and inspection objectives.
Mistras Group Ultrasonic Testing (UT, PAUT, TOFD)
Used for wall thickness measurements, weld inspections, and internal flaw detection in steel, pipework, and pressure-retaining equipment. Mistras technicians are qualified to ASNT/ISO standards and operate advanced phased array (PAUT) and time-of-flight diffraction (TOFD) systems for accurate flaw sizing and profile imaging.
Acoustic Emission Testing (AE)
AE enables real-time detection of active crack growth, fibre fracture, or leak onset in pressurised systems. It’s non-intrusive and can be conducted during load or pressure testing — making it ideal for tank farms, large pipelines, and storage vessels where access is limited or conventional methods are not practical.
Radiographic Testing (RT & Digital RT)
High-resolution X-ray and gamma-ray testing for internal weld assessment, casting inspections, and detection of voids or inclusions. Digital radiography options reduce exposure times and enable immediate image capture and sharing — streamlining the QA process for high-volume or critical welds.
Structural Health Monitoring (SHM)
Installation of permanent sensor networks on assets such as bridges, towers, or offshore platforms. These sensors capture vibration, stress, displacement, and fatigue indicators in real time, delivering data that supports predictive maintenance and risk-based inspection models.
Pipeline Integrity Services
Comprehensive inspection and maintenance programmes for high-pressure or environmentally critical pipelines. Services include ultrasonic corrosion mapping, cathodic protection (CP) surveys, in-line inspection coordination, and regulatory documentation for upstream, midstream, and downstream operators.
Each service is designed to meet or exceed international codes, including ASME, API, ISO, and EN standards — ensuring that inspection results are recognised by both asset owners and regulatory bodies.
Long-Term Value Through Monitoring and Prediction
What sets Mistras Group apart is their ability to not only detect defects but also track structural behaviour over time. Through permanent sensor arrays, remote data loggers, and integrated analytics platforms, we help clients monitor:
-
Crack propagation in structural components
-
Fatigue cycles in load-bearing welds or members
-
Thermal gradients and strain during operation
-
Displacement across bridge joints or tower bases
-
Acoustic anomalies during fluid system operation
This approach moves NDT from reactive problem-solving into proactive asset intelligence — allowing engineering teams to make decisions based on real behaviour data, not assumptions or fixed inspection intervals.
Complete Reporting and Compliance Traceability
All inspections delivered under the Mistras Group NDT UK partnership include:
-
Full inspection procedures and risk assessments
-
Technician qualifications and method certifications
-
Calibrated instrumentation logs and setup records
-
Digital images, scan logs, and test outputs
-
Summary of findings with recommendations and severity ranking
-
Code references and accept/reject criteria per standard
Where monitoring is used, we provide secure access to remote dashboards, threshold alarms, and trend analysis tools. This supports early decision-making and strengthens documentation for insurers, safety bodies, or capital planning reviews.
Scalable Services for Multi-Site Projects
Mistras Group brings international scale and capacity to projects with complex logistics or regulatory frameworks. This includes:
-
Shutdown and turnaround support
-
Multi-site compliance audits
-
Large-asset baseline surveys
-
Offshore mobilisation with full NDT capability
-
Cross-border integrity programmes with local compliance alignment
By combining our on-the-ground response and NDTScan’s project agility with Mistras’ global reach and technical depth, we can deliver efficient, standardised inspection programmes across multiple assets and locations.
