ABOUT US DRC Srl is an organisation formed by young people, active in all sectors of structural diagnosis and therefore able to support and give response to the needs of professionals working in the area of NDT. Research gives impetus to the production of tools, and experiences gained on-site are valuable resources for teachers providing training courses and strength for the research sector, in order to identify and develop new methods and applications that transform into instruments. DRC, composed of a team of professionals specialised in NDT, has developed a collaborative approach with specialised and industry insiders. Environment & Relationships: Attention to preserving the world in which we live is a fundamental prerogative of our company. For this reason, we manufacture short supply chain products, making use of suppliers that meet quality requirements in terms of environmental protection and respect towards people. INSTRUMENTS With over thirty years of experience, DRC produces instruments aimed at solving problems linked to the building safety in the area of structural diagnostics. The production is carried out entirely in Italy and is synonymous with reliability and trustworthiness. DRC distributes major NDT industry leader brands nationwide. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT Our continuous analysis of innovative solutions makes Research the beating heart of DRC. Important collaborations with professionals and with the most prestigious Italian universities have allowed the creation of several projects directed toward building evaluation and redevelopment. TRAINING DRC offers training courses on different survey methodologies for NDT personnel. The teaching team is composed of professionals certified according to ISO 9712. In addition to the theoretical aspect, the courses place great emphasis on practical tests, a fundamental requirement for those working at work sites. SERVICE E AND ASSISTANCE Upon special request, we provide our customers with certified on-site aftersales service. We also offer equipment rental with operators. DRC provides assistance and calibration services. CERTIFICATE ISO 9001: 2008 Exam Center AJA Europe ISO 9712:2012
TRAINING DRC is a modern training centre that develops and organises training and specialisation in the field of Structural Diagnosis. The theoretical - practical training sessions are valid for subsequent certification exam admission for personnel responsible for Non-Destructive Testing, in the Construction sector in accordance with ISO 9712: 2012. One of the main purposes of the courses is to teach the practical use of instruments. For this reason, ample space is given to laboratory exercises. The courses are intended for professionals with a diploma or degree in science (engineers, architects, geologists, surveyors, industrial experts) and for public administration technicians. A Certificate of Training is issued at the end of the course, which allows access to the level certification exam, as foreseen by AJA Europe Certification Regulation.
