NDTScan provides advanced non-destructive testing (NDT) solutions tailored for utilities and energy. Our services ensure accurate, compliant, and efficient diagnostics across all sectors, from aerospace to infrastructure. With cutting-edge equipment and over a decade of experience, we deliver certified inspections that minimise downtime and maximise safety. Trust NDTScan for reliable, data-driven reporting that enhances your decision-making and operational excellence.
NDTScan ensures the safety, reliability, and regulatory compliance of utilities and energy infrastructure through advanced non-destructive testing (NDT) services. From water treatment plants and power stations to electrical substations and renewable energy facilities, we assess asset integrity, operational resilience, and material condition without disruption to critical services.
Our inspections are vital to public health, environmental protection, and energy security. We detect corrosion, cracking, wall thinning, mechanical fatigue, insulation failures, and subsurface defects that can compromise asset safety, performance, and regulatory compliance. Using ultrasonic testing, radiographic inspection, drone surveying, ground penetrating radar (GPR), thermographic imaging, and acoustic emissions testing, we deliver forensic intelligence that enables proactive asset management and operational excellence.
We don’t just scan—we protect the lifelines of modern society, enabling safe, efficient, and sustainable utilities and energy networks.
Safeguarding Critical National Infrastructure
Utilities and energy assets operate under intense environmental, mechanical, and regulatory pressures. Early detection of material weaknesses and structural faults helps prevent failures, environmental incidents, and costly downtime, ensuring continuity of essential services to communities and industries.
NDTScan provides the specialist knowledge and high-precision data required by utility operators, energy companies, and infrastructure managers to protect critical national infrastructure and meet stringent compliance obligations.
How We Survey Utilities and Energy Assets
Our services cover water treatment plants, wastewater facilities, electricity substations, transmission lines, gas networks, solar farms, wind farms, biomass plants, and hydroelectric facilities. Our scanning and inspection equipment is ruggedised, intrinsically safe where required, and capable of deployment in operational, restricted, and hazardous environments.
We work flexibly around outage schedules, maintenance windows, and regulatory audit requirements. Reporting includes detailed defect mapping, corrosion profiling, fitness-for-service evaluations, and recommendations for maintenance, refurbishment, or replacement.
Our utilities and energy survey techniques include:
- Ultrasonic Thickness Testing (UTT): Measures material loss in pipelines, pressure vessels, tanks, and structural supports.
- Radiographic Testing (RT): Provides high-resolution imaging of welds, piping, and critical components without dismantling.
- Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR): Maps buried utilities, subsurface structures, and potential voids affecting network integrity.
- Drone-Based Surveying: Captures detailed imagery of overhead lines, solar arrays, wind turbine blades, and remote assets safely and efficiently.
- Thermographic Imaging: Detects overheating, insulation failures, and electrical faults in power generation and distribution infrastructure.
- Acoustic Emissions Testing: Monitors live structures and equipment for crack propagation, leakage, and stress-induced defects.
