Commitment to Quality with NATA Accredited NDT Services.

The TRA Difference

A key advantage of choosing Tasman Rope Access is our ability to execute works 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 efficient approach ensures minimal disruption to your operations while maintaining the highest safety standards.

Types of Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) Services at Tasman Rope Access

Ultrasonic Testing

Ultrasonic testing includes thickness testing, corrosion mapping, lamination detection, weld testing, and wear management reporting. Inspection methods utilised inspect the fixed plant, sacrificial wear liner thickness, heavy machinery, ball mills, tank inspections, process piping, and structural steel components.

Magnetic Particle Testing

Magnetic Particle Testing Inspection (‘MPI’) is an NDT method for the detection of surface and shallow sub-surface discontinuities in ferrous materials. The test method involves application of a magnetic or electric current that passes through the material.

Eddy Current Testing

Eddy current testing allows technicians to discover indications of damage without having to remove protective coatings. Eddy current surface flaw detection in welds and stress points is commonly used on machinery like cranes, car dumpers, and rock breakers.

Dye Penetrant Testing

Dye Penetrant Inspection (‘DPI’ or ‘PT’) is used to detect 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

Visual testing is used in conjunction with other NDT methods and is carried out by our certified technicians utilising a range of visual inspection tools and equipment. Assets are examined for evidence of corrosion, pitting, deterioration of welded products such as structural steelwork and pipework.

Magnetic Flux Leakage

Magnetic flux leakage is a non-destructive testing 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 a non-destructive 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, indicating the presence of leaks.

Phased Array

Phased array testing is an advanced non-destructive evaluation method that uses multiple ultrasonic waves and angles to detect flaws in materials, offering detailed images of internal structures.

Radiography

Radiography testing is a non-destructive inspection method that uses X-rays or gamma rays to view the internal structure of a component, identifying flaws or defects by capturing variations in radiation absorption on film or digital detectors.

AICIP Inspections

AICIP inspection in NDT involves the certification and evaluation of non-destructive testing personnel, ensuring they meet Australian standards for inspecting the integrity and safety of industrial components and systems.

API 653 Inspections

API 653 inspection is a standard evaluation method that assesses the integrity and compliance of aboveground storage tanks, focusing on their suitability for continued service. It involves detailed checks for corrosion, leaks, and structural defects.
