Commitment to Quality with NATA Accredited NDT Rope Access Technicians.
The TRA Difference
A key advantage of choosing TRA is our ability to execute work via rope access, instead of relying on Elevated Work Platforms (EWPs) and Scissor Lifts. This not only eliminates the need for additional equipment on-site but also significantly reduces costs and time associated with mobilisation and demobilisation. Our NDT rope access technicians ensure minimal disruption to your operations while maintaining the highest safety standards.
Types of Non-Destructive Testing Services at Tasman Rope Access
Ultrasonic Testing
Ultrasonic non-destructive testing includes thickness testing, corrosion mapping, lamination detection, weld testing, and wear management reporting. Our NDT methods inspect fixed plant arrangements, including sacrificial wear liner thickness, heavy machinery, ball mills, tank inspections, process piping, and structural steel components.
Magnetic Particle Testing
The magnetic particle inspection (‘MPI’) test is an NDT method used to detect surface and shallow sub-surface discontinuities in ferrous materials. It involves the application of a magnetic or electric current that passes through the material.
Eddy Current Testing
Eddy current testing allows technicians to detect damage without removing protective coatings. Eddy current surface-flaw inspections in welds and stress points are often used on machinery such as cranes, car dumpers, and rock breakers.
Dye Penetrant Testing
The dye penetrant inspection (‘DPI’ or ‘PT’) test detects surface-breaking flaws in all non-porous materials such as metals, plastics, and ceramics. This is a cost-effective method of identifying discontinuities such as cracks, porosity, laps, and seams. Dye penetrant is commonly used to test lifting lugs, stainless steel weld joints, wind turbine blades, forgings, and castings.
Visual Testing
A visual inspection test is used in conjunction with other NDT methods. It’s carried out by our certified technicians utilising a range of visual inspection tools and equipment. Assets are examined for evidence of corrosion, pitting, and deterioration of welded products such as structural steelwork and pipework.
Magnetic Flux Leakage
Magnetic flux leakage is an NDT method that detects corrosion and defects in ferrous materials by sensing variations in magnetic fields around the material.
Vacuum Box Testing
Vacuum box testing is an NDT method used to detect leaks in welds and other sealed joints. It involves applying a vacuum to one side of the test area and observing for soap bubbles, which indicate the presence of leaks.
Phased Array
Phased array weld testing is an advanced NDT method that uses multiple ultrasonic waves and angles to detect flaws in materials, providing detailed images of internal structures.
Radiography NDT
The radiography NDT method uses X-rays or gamma rays to view the internal structure of a component. It identifies flaws or defects by capturing variations in radiation absorption on film or digital detectors.
AICIP Inspections
AICIP inspections involve the certification and evaluation of NDT personnel, ensuring they meet Australian standards for inspecting the integrity and safety of industrial components and systems.
API 653 Inspections
API 653 inspections are a standard evaluation method used to assess the integrity and compliance of aboveground storage tanks. To ensure their suitability for continued service, detailed checks for corrosion, leaks, and structural defects are carried out.
