INSPECTION AND TESTING

3rd Generation has collaborated with reputable companies with a proven track record in bulk meter testing with qualified verification officers.

Non-destructive testing (NDT) ensures the safe and efficient operation of our client’s equipment and assets by detecting defects before they result in severe damage, and assures compliance with international standards. From construction sites, pipelines and refineries to shipyards and nuclear power plants, monitoring will improve the reliability of your client’s processes and equipment.

Our NDT services offer our clients complete or sample examination of assets, using well-designed procedures and highly trained and certified NDT inspectors. As a result, we provide our clients with complete and valuable data, enabling them to make informed asset management decisions.

We offer the most effective NDT methods to investigate the integrity of equipment and assets.

Our comprehensive range of NDT methods can help:

  • Monitor the integrity of assets using intrusive or non-intrusive methods
  • Detect defects and irregularities before they result in severe damage or non-compliance
  • Save time and money through fast and effective testing of assets and equipment at every stage of their lifespan – from manufacturing through to on-site operation
  • Ensure safe and reliable operation of your facilities

The standard NDT offered through our internationally recognized partners are:

  • Visual Inspection (VI)
  • Dye/Liquid Penetrant Testing (PT)
  • Magnetic Particle Testing (MT)
  • Manual Ultrasonic Testing (UT)
  • Radiographic Testing (RT)
  • Positive Material Identification (PMI)

Testing of Flow Meters

Flow-meters are used in a wide variety of applications where accurate flow measurements are critical, including:
  • Energy and utilities
  • Water management
  • Aerospace
  • Agriculture
  • Pharmaceutical Industry.
Even the most strong-featured flow meters can fall out of calibration. All instruments’ performance degrades over time:
  • Parts wear out or break
  • Flow meters can be affected by corrosion or dirt within the product that flows through them
  • They may also be damaged by
    • Impact
    • Variations in the process
    • Improper installation.

In applications like these, it’s important to calibrate the flow meters that record these measurements. 

Regular calibrations and testing assure our clients that the flow meter’s measurements are accurate.

Pipeline camera inspection

Regular pipeline inspection is crucial to sustaining the lifespan of water and wastewater networks. 3rd Generation video inspection solutions can help ensure pipelines are functioning properly and provide our clients with a visual of actual internal pipeline conditions.

Camera inspections can be used for a number of applications, including:
  • Investigating unexplained flow conditions
  • Locating debris and partial blockages
  • Visually inspecting pipe walls and liner
  • Assessing internal corrosion on metallic pipes
  • Inspecting pipes near a known leak to help plan repairs
