Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) Services

Non-Destructive Testing or NDT is an analysis technique used throughout the inspection industry to evaluate assets and infrastructure. NDT involves detecting and assessing flaws in materials without causing damage or permanent alterations.

At Vertech, we offer non-destructive testing (NDT) services to companies across a multitude of industries that possess assets or infrastructure. Our comprehensive range of conventional and advanced NDT services ensures our clients receive first-class deliverables.

Vertech has proven experience in NDT inspection planning, advising clients on NDT services, and providing recommendations and solutions to comply with international and Australian standards.

Vertech Group is certified to ISO 17205 as an NDT inspection body by the National Association of Testing Authorities (NATA), accreditation number 18112. Our NDT inspection personnel are highly qualified, skilled, and experienced in applying a wide range of NDT inspection services and testing methods.

Conventional NDT Services

Safety, reliability, environmental requirements, and regulations all mean that companies across multiple sectors have a responsibility to maintain the integrity of their equipment.
