Every major testing method, under one roof.

From radiography to Level III technical authority, Prime NDT delivers full inspection capability in-house. No subcontractors, no gaps in the chain of quality.

01

Radiographic Testing

RT · Film · CR · DR

Full radiographic capability across film, computed, and digital methods. Advanced digital radiography produces inspection-ready images in under a minute, revealing internal defects that no surface inspection can reach.

02

Ultrasonic Testing

UT · PAUT · Shear wave

Conventional, phased array, and shear wave inspection. Phased array delivers detailed, mappable images of internal conditions, with the precision to size and locate flaws, not just detect them.

03

Surface Methods

MT · PT

Magnetic particle and liquid penetrant inspection for surface and near-surface defects, including cracks invisible to the eye. Fast, reliable verification of weld and component surfaces.

04

Material Verification & PMI

PMI · Hardness

Positive Material Identification confirms the alloys and grades installed match the project spec, your safeguard against wrong or substituted material. Hardness testing verifies condition and heat-treatment results.

05

Welding Inspection

AWS CWI

AWS Certified Welding Inspectors for welder qualification, fabrication yard inspection, and full-time project oversight. Quality control that starts at the weld, not after it.

Level III Services

Technical authority

In-house Level III expertise for procedure review, service verification, and third-party vendor auditing, plus internal inspection-program development. The senior technical authority behind every project.

Support Services

PWHT · Demag

Post-weld heat treatment to relieve stress and prevent cracking, and demagnetization to remove magnetic interference that disrupts welding. Support that protects weld integrity from the first pass.

Called in at every stage, from first weld to fitness-for-service.

New construction

Large-scale inspection for pipelines, plants, and capital projects, for major operators and for some of the largest pipeline contractors in North America.

Integrity assessments

Verifying the safety, quality, and fitness-for-service of pipelines, piping systems, and fixed equipment, with the data operators need to make integrity decisions and manage threats.

Turnarounds

Conventional and advanced NDT with complete reporting of findings against the applicable code, plus follow-up assessment on anything repaired or replaced.

Maintenance shutdowns

Inspection prioritized by risk, using historical inspection data to focus on the assets most likely to fail consequentially.

Emergency call-outs

Qualified personnel on site within 24 hours of notice, dispatched from the nearest of eight regional locations.

Third-party oversight

Independent surveillance of vendors, fabricators, and subcontractors, with in-house Level III authority reviewing the procedures and the findings, and a live audit trail throughout.
