Advanced Non-Destructive Testing (ANDT) & Integrity Diagnostics
Fairtex provides advanced non-destructive testing services for the inspection, monitoring, and integrity assessment of complex industrial assets across oil & gas, marine, petrochemical, refinery, and power generation facilities in Nigeria and West Africa. Our advanced NDT solutions are designed to detect hidden defects, map corrosion, evaluate structural condition, and support risk-based maintenance strategies for critical infrastructure.
Using modern inspection technologies and calibrated diagnostic systems, Fairtex delivers high-resolution inspection data that enhances decision-making for asset integrity management, shutdown planning, fitness-for-service evaluation, and lifecycle extension of plant piping, tanks, pressure systems, and heat exchange equipment.
Typical applications: pipelines, plant piping systems, storage tanks, tank floors, boilers, heat exchangers, offshore structures, refinery units, corrosion under insulation systems, and critical pressure equipment.
What this service covers
Guided Wave Long Range Ultrasonic Testing (GWLRUT)
Fairtex performs guided wave ultrasonic testing for long-range inspection of pipelines and plant piping systems. This method enables detection of corrosion, wall loss, and defects over extended distances with minimal insulation removal and reduced operational disruption.
Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) Assessment
Our CUI inspection services identify corrosion hidden beneath thermal insulation using specialized detection techniques and targeted measurement systems. This supports early identification of degradation in insulated piping systems and pressure equipment.
Magnetic Flux Leakage (MFL) Tank Floor Scanning
Fairtex provides MFL scanning for storage tank floor inspection to detect corrosion, pitting, and material loss beneath tank surfaces. This method supports integrity assessment of critical storage infrastructure in refinery and terminal environments.
Ultrasonic C-Scan & Corrosion Mapping
We perform automated ultrasonic C-scan inspections using remotely operated crawlers and scanning systems to generate high-resolution corrosion maps and defect visualization for piping, vessels, and structural components.
Phased Array UT, TOFD & Advanced Ultrasonic Techniques
Fairtex utilizes phased array ultrasonic testing (PAUT) and time-of-flight diffraction (TOFD) for detailed weld inspection, flaw characterization, and volumetric defect analysis with high accuracy and repeatability.
Eddy Current, ACFM & Acoustic Emission Testing
Our advanced inspection capability includes eddy current testing, alternating current field measurement (ACFM), and acoustic emission (AE) testing for crack detection, surface defect identification, and structural health monitoring of critical assets.
Digital Radiography & Remote Visual Diagnostics
Fairtex provides computed radiography and direct digital radiography services for high-resolution inspection of welds, components, and complex assemblies. We also perform borescope and videoscope inspections for internal visual diagnostics of tubes, boilers, and confined systems.
