Non-Destructive Inspection

Non-destructive inspection (NDI) plays a critical role in ensuring the integrity and reliability of complex systems and components. Our team of scientists and specialists, equipped with novel state-of-the-art facilities, is dedicated to develop and employ tailored inspection methodologies that meet the needs of our clients. We provide assistance to airlines, air forces and aircraft component manufacturers, providing services that span from fundamental research to the qualification of NDI-methods. Our expertise contains a wide variety of NDI-techniques including (laser) ultrasonic testing (UT), eddy current testing (ECT), infrared thermography (IRT), and laser shearography (ST). An overview of our capabilities is displayed in the ‘Non-destructive inspection’ flyer.
