Across all industry it is essential to ensure plant and equipment are in good condition and fit for purpose as failure of a component can result in human and financial loss and environmental costs. Vertech offers Asset Integrity Management, Inspection and Testing Services. We conduct a wide range of inspection services and if required can advise on the most appropriate testing technique for a particular work-scope, such as;
        •  Close Visual Inspection (CVI)
.       •  Non Destructive Testing
.       •  Thermal Imaging
.       •  Corrosion Mapping
.       •  Coating Inspection
.       •  Remote Camera Inspection

Crack Detection  
 Non Destructive Testing

Non Destructive Testing (NDT), particularly when used in combination with Rope Access, is generally possible whilst the component/structure is in-service thus reducing and often eliminating the need for expensive shutdowns. The NDT disciplines offered include;

.      
•  Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI)
.       •  Dye Penetrant Inspection (DPI)
.       •  Ultrasonic Thickness & Flaw Testing (UT)
.       •  Phased Array Ultrasonic Inspection (PA)
.       •  Eddy Current Inspection (ECI)

 Class Surveys

Classification societies such as ABS (American Bureau of Shipping), DNV (Det Norske Veritas), Germanischer Lloyd and Lloyds Register have for many years relied on external rope access specialists to assist the attending surveyor during the class inspection of ships and offshore structures.

Vertech Group Pty Ltd has a thorough knowledge of classification requirements and of the structure of ships and offshore oil & gas facilities. Our experienced gained from working with various classification societies on many different types of facilities allows us to plan and execute surveys that are completed safely, to a high standard with minimal disturbance to onboard operations.

We have been audited and certified by ABS as an external specialist and work closely with their surveyors in providing the following services to complete survey requirements:

        •  Non Destructive Testing techniques
.       •  Remote Camera Inspection Systems

We are also able to assist in rectifying outstanding class issues with our maintenance and repair capabilities which include structural steel and piping renewals

API Pressure vessel inspection  
 Process Plant & Equipment


Vertech offers a broad suite of NDT services to provide a complete package for the inspection of process plant and equipment in Refineries, Power Stations, and Offshore Oil & Gas Facilities.

Inspections are performed to internationally recognised standards including API 510/570 by highly experienced qualified inspectors.

Using the latest range of Remote Inspection Camera Systems, personnel entry into confined spaces can be dramatically reduced, whilst the application of Rope Access and/or Tension Netting allows safe unrestricted access to difficult locations with minimal impact to plant operations.

Our experience with large shutdown scenarios allows us to assist with detailed planning to ensure inspection activities are completed on time and to an impeccable standard. Using the advanced inspection technologies such as Phased Array Ultrasonics, Eddy Current and ACFM allows rapid inspection without removing protective coatings.

 Structural & Coating Inspections 


Inspection of structures with difficult access is often neglected due to the prohibitive costs involved. Rope Access and Tension Netting allows safe rapid access to parts of a structure to carry out a variety of tasks including structural and coating inspection which will allow preventative maintenance to be carried out before the integrity of the structure is compromised. The range of inspections available includes:

        •  Close Visual Inspection
        •  Bolt Torque Testing
        •  Weld Inspection
        •  Coating Inspection
        • 
Concrete Inspection (Cover Meter Testing, Core Sampling, etc).

These inspection services and a wide range of maintenance and repair services are carried out using Rope Access and Tension Netting on a variety of structures including:

        •  Wind Turbines
        •  Bridges
        •  Dams
        •  Towers and Derricks
        •  Chimney Stacks
        •  Offshore Oil & Gas Facilities
        •  Shipping including Tankers and Bulk Carriers

 Remote Inspection


Where it is not possible or desirable for an inspector to access the target inspection area Vertech has a variety of remote inspection instruments. These include;

        •  Borescope / Bore Scope / Boroscopes to a minimum of 8mm diameter
        •  Push-rod pipe and vessell camera systems with up to 50m length
        •  Advanced Video Camera Systems with powerful integrated lighting and high definition optics which allow zooming in from afar.

These camera systems can be deployed for the inspection of;

        •  Risers (internal/external)
        •  Pressure Vessels
        •  Pipe-lines/spools
        • 
Large tanks, Confined Spaces, etc
