We prove ourselves the first time around, so you only need to make one call the second time around.
Remote Video Inspections (RVI)
Foreign objects can lead to shutdowns, contamination, loss of revenue, and in worst-case scenarios, catastrophic failures. We are the industry leader in the use of RVI tools to safely locate and retrieve foreign objects in your facility. Our explosion-proof cameras can also provide invaluable information about the internal condition of fixed, rotating and hazardous environment-rated equipment, as well as assistance with sinkhole examinations, turnarounds and more.
ARMUT®
The in-house experts at IIA developed Absolute Recordable Manual Ultrasonic Testing (ARMUT®) to bring together the best of both manual and automated ultrasonic testing for critical weld examinations. The only system that can capture encoded positional and time data simultaneously, ARMUT can be used by a single technician to examine critical welds and gather extremely high-resolution images that can be stored, shared, and immediately analyzed.
PASS®
Our patented Phased Array Sectorial Scanning (PASS®) technique allows us to provide an unmatched level of information and insight into valve integrity and performance during operation — eliminating unnecessary and costly valve disassembly. Our PASS® Visualization Software then translates the raw data into a dynamic valve simulation, featuring a 3-D model for easy interpretation and analysis.
