Non-Destructive Testing for Critical Assets

When conventional inspection cannot reach the defect, or when the asset has to stay in service, advanced NDT is how you find the problem before it finds you. UPRISE deploys the full range of advanced techniques — guided wave, phased array, electromagnetic and radiographic methods — on live plant, at height, insulated and in confined spaces.

Featured Capabilities

Long range ultrasonic testing on an elevated pipeline LRUT

Long Range Ultrasonic Testing

Screens long runs of pipeline from a single access point — including under insulation, at road crossings and inside casings. Ideal for identifying where corrosion is concentrated before committing to detailed inspection.

Phased array ultrasonic testing on a pipe weld PAUT

Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing

Volumetric weld inspection with real-time imaging and full data recording. Replaces radiography where access, radiation controls or schedule make RT impractical — and gives you a permanent record of every weld scanned.

Heat exchanger tube inspection with a flexible probe TUBE

Tube Inspection

Full-length inspection of heat exchanger, boiler and condenser tubes using eddy current, IRIS and remote field techniques, with tube-sheet mapping to pinpoint every defect and support plugging decisions.

Robotic inspection inside a storage tank TANK

Tank Robotic Inspection

Robotic crawlers inspect tank floors and shells without manned entry — removing confined-space risk, cutting turnaround days, and delivering complete and digital coverage instead of spot checks.

Pulsed eddy current inspection on an insulated pipe PEC

Pulsed Eddy Current

Measures average wall thickness through insulation, cladding, coatings and weatherproofing — so you can assess corrosion under insulation without stripping and reinstating the system.

Ground Penetration Radar

Locates embedded reinforcement, conduit, voids and sub-surface features in concrete structures, foundations and soil — non-destructively, and before anyone puts a drill or an excavator through something important.

Replica Test

Field metallographic replication shows what is happening inside your steel without cutting a single component. We prepare the surface in place, lift a high-fidelity acetate replica, and have it interpreted and reported by metallurgical professors holding PhDs.

Detects creep, spheroidisation, graphitisation, hydrogen damage and thermal ageing long before they become failures — on superheater and reheater tubes, headers, steam lines, reformer and furnace tubes, and refinery piping.

We also deploy the RepliSet 3D replicating system for sub-micron detail on curved, vertical and awkward surfaces.

Complete Advanced NDT Scope

Medium Range Ultrasonic Testing (MRUT)Bridges the gap between LRUT screening and detailed SRUT — several metres of pipe from one test point, with better sensitivity and resolution than long range. Ideal for confirming and sizing what a long-range survey flagged.
Short Range Ultrasonic Testing (SRUT)Detailed spot inspection of welds, elbows, tees and small-bore connections.
Electromagnetic Acoustic Transducer (EMAT)Ultrasonic inspection without couplant — effective on hot, rough, coated and scaled surfaces.
Magnetic Flux Leakage Tank Floor Mapping (MFL)Full tank floor plate scanning to grade and map corrosion loss across the whole floor.
Rapid Motion Scanner (RMS2)Fast automated ultrasonic corrosion mapping of plate and shell surfaces.
Replica Test — Field Metallographic ReplicationMicrostructure and degradation assessment interpreted by metallurgical professors (PhD).
