We're serious about
amusement park safety
From rip-roaring roller coasters to the leisurely Ferris wheel, a visit to the fair, carnival or amusement park should be a carefree experience.
Our certified experts use a wide range of tools and technologies, such as ultrasonic testing (UT), radiography (RT) and drone inspections, to accurately detect surface and subsurface defects — without compromising the ride’s ability to function.
IIA offers a broad range of testing and engineering solutions and unrivaled customer support. When it comes to amusement rides, we are serious about safety.

Services for Amusement Parks, Carnivals, & Fairs
Drone Inspections
As a leader in remote visual inspections (RVI), we offer drone inspections to navigate the most challenging inspection scenarios — from amusement park rides to elevated conveyor belts, wind turbines, buried piping, and other hard-to-reach places. Our FAA licensed and NDT certified drone inspectors can quickly deliver the data you need, without safety concerns or the expense of scaffolding.
Fatigue Inspections & Non-Destructive Testing
Our fatigue inspection services provide the answers you need about the structural integrity of amusement park rides and other aging infrastructure. We use a combination of visual inspection and the latest non-destructive examination methods to closely inspect structural components. We are also IRATA certified to perform rope access inspections when accessibility is an issue. Our experts can also help you develop an inspection test plan targeting fatigue-prone details and provide oversight of testing activities.
Engineered Repair Solutions
Beyond our full menu of inspection offerings, we offer industry-leading engineering expertise. With a team of licensed structural, mechanical and welding engineers at your service, we can provide welding and structural engineering solutions to repair defects on critical components.
Construction & Assembly Inspection Services
In the field, our team can provide critical quality assurance oversight for construction and assembly of new rides. We take a fresh look at material specifications, structural components, assembly, welding and bolting process used in the field, and verify welder qualifications. Our experts are also available to provide QA oversight during fabrication of major components and verify compliance with drawings and procedures.
Reverse Engineering
IIA is one of the original pioneers in using 3D scanning for reverse engineering, geometry recreation and 3D modeling. If a repair part is not readily available and no CAD files exist, our Lab Services team can scan the geometry of the part or component, and determine its mechanical and chemical properties, so an exact duplicate can be manufactured.
