Structural Integrity & NDT Capabilities
Applied non-destructive testing and stress analysis for heavy industrial infrastructure — from blast furnace staves to sinter plant ductwork.
Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing
High-resolution volumetric scanning of welds, staves, and pressure boundaries using multi-angle beamforming. Detects hidden cracks, lack of fusion, and wall thinning in metallurgical processing equipment.
NDT Methodology · Reduces unplanned downtime
Finite Element Stress Modeling
Custom FEA models for coke oven push beams, gas mains, and load-bearing assemblies under thermal cycling. Validated with on-site strain gauge data to predict remaining service life.
Structural Analysis · Extends asset lifespan
Automated Corrosion Mapping
Full-coverage ultrasonic C-scan of ductwork, tanks, and piping networks. Generates wall thickness profiles that pinpoint localized corrosion hotspots, enabling targeted replacement instead of full overhaul.
Probabilistic failure modeling combined with NDT data to prioritize inspection intervals. Aligns with API 581 and ISO 31000 frameworks for metallurgical plant safety compliance.
Asset Management · Lowers regulatory risk
Thermal & Mechanical Load Testing
Controlled load application and strain measurement on critical assemblies under operating temperatures up to 1200°C. Identifies creep, fatigue, and stress concentration zones before failure occurs.
Field Validation · Prevents catastrophic failure
Lifecycle Integrity Reports
Comprehensive documentation of inspection findings, stress analysis results, and remaining-life predictions. Delivered with actionable repair recommendations and re-inspection schedules.

Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT)
Schedule a non-destructive evaluation for blast furnace staves, gas mains, or pressure vessels using our advanced PAUT systems. Includes a detailed wall thickness map and crack detection report.
Request a finite element analysis (FEA) for coke oven push beams, sinter plant ductwork, or other load-bearing assemblies under thermal cycling. We deliver a probabilistic risk assessment and remaining service life prediction.
Submit your ductwork or piping system for automated ultrasonic corrosion mapping. We prioritize replacement sections based on localized wall loss data, reducing maintenance costs by up to 60%.
Clear answers about structural lifecycle evaluation and NDT services for heavy industrial infrastructure.
We focus on heavy industrial infrastructure in metallurgical processing plants, including blast furnace staves, coke oven push beam assemblies, sinter plant gas main ductwork, and similar load-bearing structures. Our methods are designed for steel production facilities and other high-temperature, high-stress environments.
Phased array ultrasonic testing (PAUT) uses multiple elements to steer and focus the sound beam electronically, allowing for faster, more detailed scans of complex geometries. It can detect hidden cracks and wall thinning in areas where conventional single-element UT would miss defects, especially in cooling channels and weld joints.
It is a comprehensive assessment that combines non-destructive testing with advanced stress analysis models to predict the remaining service life of industrial components under real operating conditions. We evaluate factors like thermal cycling, corrosion rates, and mechanical fatigue to provide actionable maintenance timelines.
Yes, all our NDT and stress analysis work is performed on-site at your facility. We bring portable PAUT equipment, strain gauge kits, and data acquisition systems to conduct evaluations without disrupting your production schedule. Our team coordinates with your maintenance crew to minimize downtime.
Our assessments follow ISO 9712 and ASNT standards for NDT personnel, and we reference API 579 and BS 7910 for fitness-for-service evaluations. Each report includes a clear statement of compliance with relevant international codes, and we can adapt to local regulatory requirements upon request.
For a standard blast furnace stave evaluation, on-site testing takes 3–5 days, followed by 2–3 weeks for data analysis and report generation. Complex projects involving multiple components or custom finite element modeling may require additional time. We provide a detailed timeline during the initial consultation.
