Our team of experienced and qualified managers are capable of handling and managing inspection projected for onshore and offshore facilities.

2 Conventional and Advanced NDT services (construction Sites, onshore, offshore, sub sea etc) Conventional NDT services Ultrasonic Testing (UT) Thickness measurements and wall mapping for corrosion Flaw detection of piping, pressure vessels, structural part Penetrant Testing (PT) Surface breaking discontinuity inspection of welding, casting, structural member etc Magnetic particle Testing (MT) Surface and near surface inspection on welding Visual and Optical testing (VT) Remote camera and video inspection of difficult access areas like piping and pressure vessel internal Radiography Testing (RT) Gamma ray inspection piping, pressure vessels, castings, profile mapping

3 Conventional and Advanced NDT services (construction Sites, onshore, offshore, sub sea etc) Advanced NDT Techniques Real time Time of Flight Diffraction Inspection method (TOFD) Our real time TOFD inspection services is an answer to the disadvantages of Ultrasonic Testing by providing real-time permanent scan images with high sensitivity. Radiography Testing has to deal with numerous safety issues and it is in reality slower on attaining accurate reading for higher thickness with Ir192 source. As the defect delectability is getting lower at higher thickness, it is being replaced by our real time TOFD technique which is more comprehensive. Real time ABI Scan Inspection This is a combination of A and B Scan Enhancement Imaging Technique. It is attained by capturing and recording the successive unprocessed A-Scans along the scanning path or in time progress. ABI scan imaging technique provides inspection of difficult access areas and complicated geometries with various graphical records for the inspection report. The advantages of ABI scan are; Detailed off-line analysis at the post processing stage Recovery of the single shot and dynamically changing A-Scans along the scanning path Amplitude filtering with suppressing of the B-Scan-Enhanced segments corresponding to the echo amplitudes below the variable threshold level Determining of the defects coordinates and projection sizes Detecting the defects which are well below DAC curve

4 Advanced Ultrasonic Testing (A, B, C scan inspection) Our real time advanced UT Testing equipment is capable of providing real time scans in pulse echo ( A scan), side view (B scan), top view (C scan) views of the area of inspection Computed radiography Services (CR) Our CR service adds value by providing online thickness values of piping (up to 6 inches) with out removing insulation. This technique has excellent applications at high temperature service lines, highly corroded areas where UT is not possible Alternating Current Field Measurement Inspection Technique (ACFM) Our ACFM unit has significant advantages over conventional MT and PT techniques. ACFM provides surface and near surface examination without coating removal. It is at least five times faster than the above mentioned conventional techniques providing accurate sizing (length and depth). The soft copy records of the examination display could be used for discontinuity monitoring purposes. This technique add value with rope access inspection on difficult access areas like crane inspection offshore, platform structural inspection etc

5 Corrosion monitoring and cathodic protection services We offer corrosion monitoring and cathodic protection services in both onshore and offshore facilities worldwide Rope access Industrial Rope Access Technique It is a form of work positioning developed from techniques used in climbing and caving In this technique non-readily accessible area is reachable by means of rope suspended from structure or feature concerned via selected anchor points Industrail Applications Inspection And Testing Safety Surveys Structural Surveys Close Visual Inspection and Nondestructive Testing Maintenance And Repair Localized Civil Repairs Mechanical Repairs Secondary Fixings, Installation of Anodes Etc. Cleaning And Painting Jet Spray, Grit Blast Method, Spray Painting Roller Brush, Full Surface Preparation, Window Cleaning Geotechincal (Civil Engineering) Soil Nailing, Sprayed Concrete, Rock Fall Prevention Meshing Construction Curtain Walling

6 Provision of Specialist manpower We provide professional manpower to our clients through our worldwide man power resource base. All personnel in our custom designed database are pre screened, thus providing our clients with reliable personnel who will perform satisfactorily. Our database include following categories Quality Assurance personnel Quality Control personnel Inspection personnel (Engineering, mechanical, civil, electrical, coating painting etc) NDT personnel in various disciplines Operations and Process Specialists Project personnel Drilling and well site personnel Geologists and Geophysicists Health, Safety and Environmental personnel

7 INsulated COmponent TEST - INCOTEST Using pulse eddy current method for measuring the remaining average wall thickness under insulation of low alloy carbon steel/ferromagnetic object and analyzing their decay and is the most reliable method for corrosion detection. This pulse eddy current technology is an excellent on-stream tool for positioning further inspection works during shut down or periodic maintenance works. Software Raw Data 3D Modelling Princi ple Of Operation : ADVANTAGES : ON/OFF Stream Measurements Up to 1000 measurements per day (fast speed) Battery Operated No Coupling required Minimized Preparation Cost ( including material surface) This system dies not require cleaning or removal of not necessary and this results in huge savings in comparison to traditional inspection preparation cost. By monitoring with INCOTEST, you will substantially reduce the chances to failures of your equipment. Assessment of the damage that results from CUI(Corrosion Under Insulation) or FAC (Flow Accelerated Corrosion) is a relatively inexpensive and a prudent prevention method. The INOCTEST sensor can be easily handled by a diver or a rope access operator to improve accessibility. For measurements on risers and caissons in the splash zone or deeper a manipulator can be applied INCOTEST can be used to detect Accelerated Low Water Corrosion and a comprehensive report will address the areas where maintenance is necessary which enables you to plan your maintenance and allocate funds necessary

8 Magnetic Flux Leakage Inspection Energy Workforce provides Magnetic Flux Leakage Inspection for the oil & gas, petrochemical and power industries. Introduction technique. The system consists of a higher resolution scanning unit, having the ability to map corrosion with a forward speed of 450 mm/s with a data capture rate every 1mm. Filtered analysis is conducted at the end of each scan to reduce the noise occurrence below a 20% thickness loss. Basic Operation Our technology is similar to Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI) but without the ink or magnetic particle. The component is magnetised to a level at which the presence of a site of the discontinuity. The suitable sensors are used to give an electrical signal at the leakage site. This signal may operate an audible or visual alarm to alert the inspector, or may store the event for computer mapping of the area. These techniques require two basic things, a method of magnetisation, and a SOFTWARE Captured data is imported into the desktop reporting software for further analysis, utilizing its computing power for visual representations of defects on a tank-wide or plate-by-plate basis. if required - Add appurtenances such as manways, pipes, sumps etc - Numbering system Show major defects per track Show selected levels of corrosion Edit data at global / plate or individual defect level - Add defects from other types of inspection into the Floormap report - Add MFL data from annular inspection into Floormap report - Weld defect reporting function Floormap data 2D display at 15 manufacturer

9 Creeping Head-Wave Inspection Method CHIME Energy Workforce provides an ultrasonic technique for the efficient, rapid and complete inspection of pipe or plate called CHIME for the examination of under-clamp or under-support corrosion. CHIME is the transmission of ultrasound between two probes placed a distance apart (up to 1m) in parallel (or near parallel) walled material. The consequence is that 100% of wall volume is covered between the probes. In contrast to conventional ultrasonic inspection techniques which require movement of the probes to cover large surface areas, the CHIME method is a medium range technique which provides instantaneous coverage of the full volume between the probes. Corrosion under Pipe Support using Floormap imaging Technique Energy Workforce provides the express ultrasonic inspection and mapping of the pitting (Corrosion) in the large metallic plates either flat or curved Basic Operation Application Of Chime Pipe Supports, saddles or sleepers Clamps Vessel/Tanks Pipe screening for internal corrosion Pipes with limited access Featuers 100% wall coverage in between two probes Large area screening Inspection around pipe circumference Signal response can give information on defect severity Tolerant to typical field surface conditions and thin coating Pipe diameters 2 upwards Advantage Battery operated equipment Inspection without removing supports Easy Interpretation Provide raw data for future analysis Minimize the complexity The specially designed probe emits the ultrasonic beam having width, duration of the wave package and basic wavelength comparable with the thickness of the plate. The probe s dead zone is located under the fillet weld, so the probable echoes from the welding are significantly suppressed. After passing through the fillet weld area the ultrasonic wave package saturates the volume of the plate while propagating. Pitting and corrosion damage if any returns an echo picked up by the probe. Advantage Battery operated equipment Inspection without removing supports Provide plane view of the surface covered by inspection Allows localizing defects Provide raw data for future analysis Application of CUPS Annular plates of the storage tank Shell and walls of the storage tank Floor plates of the storage tank Inaccessible pipe walls Walls of the underground storage tanks

10 Phase Array Energy Workforce provides advanced ultrasonic technique used for flaw detection, sizing, and imaging. Phased-array technology is the ability to modify electronically the acoustic probe characteristics. Probe modifications are performed by introducing time shifts in the signals sent to (pulse) and received from (echo) individual elements of an array probe. Any UT technique for flaw detection and sizing can be applied using phased-array probes. Features Electronically controlled and selectable beam Angles, beam focus and bean size Encoded data storage and analysis Fully functional Conventional flaw detector with multiple gates, trigonometric functions and setup and A-Scan memory Full color Real time Sector- or Linear- displays with selectable A-Scan Real time B-Scan and C-Scan in Linear and Sector mode with optional A-Scan Code compliant Advantages Battery operated equipment Improve the Probability of Detection Multiple angles from one probe at one location are used instead of using a raster motion and multiple wedges Greater flexibility for inspection of complex geometries Give more data in the available time Very sensitive to all kinds of defects Capability to modify the refracted angle of the beam generated by the array probe Can replace costly and hazardous radiography applications Minimize false calls Higher confidence in results Excellent far field resolution Very fast scanning speed, more volume tested
