Our NDT Services
VagaboNDE is a full-service NDT company offering the following NDT services:
Computed Radiography
Computed Radiography (CR) is an imaging technology that creates digital images from phosphor imaging plates rather than conventional film.
Conventional Radiography
Conventional radiography, also known as film-based radiography, is an imaging technology that uses X- rays or gamma rays to create images on film.
Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing
Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing is an advanced non-destructive testing (NDT) technique that uses high- frequency sound waves to detect internal defects in a material, such as cracks, lack of fusion or voids.
Magnetic Particle Inspection
Magnetic particle inspection involves magnetizing the material under examination and applying iron
oxide or other magnetic particles to the surface.
Liquid Penetrant Inspection
Liquid penetrant inspection (LPI), aka dye penetrant inspection, detects surface-breaking defects in materials such as metal, ceramics, and plastics.
Hardness Testing
Hardness testing is an important method to determine the hardness of various materials used in equipment and infrastructure, such as steel and aluminum.
Visual Welding Inspection
Visual Welding Inspection (VT) is a non-destructive testing (NDT) technique used in the oil and gas industry to inspect welds visually for any defects or imperfections.
Level 3 Auditor / Procedure Writing Services
Level 3 is the highest level of certification in the CAN/CGSB 48.9712 Nondestructive Testing certification
scheme.
Positive Material Identification
Positive Material Identification (PMI) is a non-destructive testing technique used in the oil and gas industry to determine the chemical composition of materials, including metals and alloys.
Why use VagaboNDE for Non-Destructive Testing?
By being a one-stop shop, our multidisciplined and experienced non-destructive testing professionals can provide every NDT service you need rather than calling in multiple contractors. Through our technology and our full-time level 3 auditor, we can:
- Make computed radiography readily available to you in Grande Prairie and the Peace Region. Keeping you costs low on travel and storage space.
- Provide you with accurate and transparent inspections that are readily auditable and viewable by all parties on your project, not just at your job site in your welding inspector’s office.
- Provide images that are 100% audited by our CGSB RT3, ensuring the images you receive are code-compliant, and calls are right every time. No more worry about an inexperienced technician calling a repair only for the welder to grind into it and find nothing, or worse: miss a critical repair that ends up buried on a pipeline and needs to be daylighted, costing thousands of unnecessary dollars and valuable downtime.
- Provide you with knowledgeable advice on the best NDT method for your project.
