In energy infrastructure, what you don’t see can hurt you.
Cracks in turbine blades, corrosion beneath coatings, weld defects inside pipelines—any of these invisible flaws can lead to serious failures, unexpected shutdowns, or costly repairs. That’s where Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) comes in.
It’s the quiet hero of inspection—zero damage, full insight.
Non-Destructive Testing is a group of inspection techniques used to evaluate the condition of materials, components, or systems without causing any harm. Instead of cutting, drilling, or dismantling, NDT uses smart tools and methods to detect flaws beneath the surface.
At Gridinta, NDT is a core part of our inspection arsenal for the wind, oil & gas, industrial, and petrochemical sectors—both onshore and offshore.
Energy infrastructure operates under intense conditions: extreme loads, harsh environments, and 24/7 production demands. That means even small defects can lead to:
Equipment failure
Production downtime
Environmental damage
Serious safety risks
NDT allows you to spot issues early—before they become disasters.
Different materials and structures require different testing methods. At Gridinta, our NDT specialists are trained to apply the right method for the job:
Ultrasonic Testing (UT) – Uses high-frequency sound waves to detect internal flaws in metals and composites. Ideal for weld inspection and thickness measurements.
Magnetic Particle Testing (MT) – Detects surface and near-surface cracks in ferromagnetic materials. Quick and effective for welds and structural steel.
Penetrant Testing (PT) – A dye-based method that reveals surface-breaking defects, often used on turbine blades or pressure vessels.
Visual Testing (VT) – A trained eye + magnification + lighting = powerful results. Simple but often the first and most valuable check.
Borescope/Endoscope Inspection – Especially useful for inspecting inside gearboxes, turbines, and pipelines—without disassembly.
Here’s how NDT helps protect critical infrastructure across different sectors:
Wind Farms Maintenance: Inspect rotor blades, towers, and welds for fatigue cracks, corrosion, or manufacturing defects—without halting energy production.
Oil & Gas Platforms: Monitor offshore structures, risers, tanks, and welds for corrosion or fatigue from harsh marine environments.
Industrial Facilities: Check pressure vessels, pipelines, chimneys, and structural components—crucial for safety and compliance.
Petrochemical Plants: Ensure safe operation of high-pressure systems by regularly testing critical welds and components.
What makes Gridinta stand out? We combine certified NDT technicians with IRATA-qualified rope access specialists, giving us the power to inspect high-risk, hard-to-reach areas—without scaffolding, cranes, or shutdowns.
That means:
Faster inspections
Reduced downtime
Lower costs
Minimal disruption to your operations
Non-Destructive Testing isn’t just about checking boxes—it’s about protecting people, assets, and profits. By identifying potential failures early, NDT allows you to plan maintenance strategically, avoid emergencies, and extend asset lifespan.
At Gridinta, we believe infrastructure should be strong, safe, and future-ready. That’s why we bring NDT right to where it matters most—offshore platforms, turbine towers, high-pressure pipelines, and beyond.
