A game-changer for quality control and product development, computed tomography (CT) scanning has become a mainstay for manufacturers.

Today, we know lead for the dangerous toxin it is. But before science delivered the frightening facts about lead’s impact on human health, this heavy metal was widely used across industries — in everything from house paints and gasoline to the pipes that bring drinking water into homes and businesses.

Over time, corrosion, cracking, fatigue, flaws, leaks and other issues can compromise the safety and reliability of materials, parts, component and systems. Non-destructive testing (NDT) is a proven way to catch defects and other irregularities in the early stages — before minor issues become major problems.

For the average person, the concept of ultrasound is limited to the doctor’s office or those occasions when proud parents-to-be share a sonogram of their newest family member. But in the industrial world, ultrasonic technology has been used for decades in numerous industries to keep the public safe.

From bridges and power plants to vehicles and medical devices, engineering is the foundation for modern life. In honor of National Engineers Week, February 16 – 22, 2025, Industrial Inspection & Analysis (IIA) salutes the engineering profession and the many talented engineers on our team.

After placing an order for a key piece of large equipment, a major plastic recycling company in Canada realized too late that the new machine would not quite fit in its planned location. With decades of structural engineering experience, Industrial Inspection & Analysis (IIA) was called in to remedy the unusual situation.

In 2024 and 2025, major changes to Ontario tower crane safety regulations (O.Reg.213/91) took effect.

In 2024, Industrial Inspection & Analysis (IIA) achieved a perfect TRIR of ZERO. This impressive achievement improves upon an already low score of 0.49 in 2023 and continues several years of low TRIRs.

Is your project in the development stage?
When you need quick feedback on the overall part to determine its accuracy to the design, a 3D scan may be the best option. A full first article inspection (FAI) or even a partial dimensional inspection may be more than is necessary when performing an initial validation.

When it comes to our own health, most of us understand the need to occasionally offer up an arm for a routine blood test. The hope is to catch potential health issues in the early stages and ultimately live a long and healthy life.
