Infrastructure

Extending the useful life of ageing infrastructure is driving the need for inspection services. The high cost and challenges involved in building new infrastructure has resulted in significant ageing, and increasing utilisation of existing infrastructure all around us. Sonatest supply a range of technologies, flaw detectors and gauges, which are ideal for meeting the many different challenges of inspection and testing of such infrastructure.

To assess the integrity and prevent catastrophic failures, NDT inspection is of paramount importance. The well publicised infrastructure failures such as the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico and the Mississippi River bridge collapse have raised the awareness for the value of NDT inspection.

Infrastructure is defined as the basic physical systems that serve a community's population, such as roads, bridges, utilities, water, and sewage. These systems are essential for enabling productivity in the economy, so it is crucial to ensure they are fit for use. Nondestructive testing (NDT) techniques determine whether a component has reached its useful service life and needs repair or replacement.
