Visual Inspection (VT)
When First Look Matters, We Inspect with Accuracy & Expertise. Professional Visual Inspection to Identify Surface Flaws, Welding Irregularities, Material Damage & Compliance Issues Before They Become Major Problems.
What Visual Inspection Helps You Achieve:
- Identify visible cracks, distortions & defects
- Verify workmanship, alignment & finishing quality
- Detect corrosion, wear & surface irregularities
- Reduce failures, rework & safety risks
What We Can Detect
- Cracks & surface fractures
- Corrosion & rust
- Misalignment & deformation
- Weld defects (undercut, overlap, porosity)
- Wear, erosion & abrasion
- Coating damage & discoloration
- Mechanical impact damage
- Improper machining or finishing
- Pitting, scaling & surface contamination
- Joint or part distortion
Typical Items We Inspect
- Welded joints & fabrication parts
- Pipelines & pressure vessels
- Tanks, cylinders & storage units
- Structural steel & bridges
- Mechanical components & assemblies
- Castings & machined parts
- Coated surfaces & painted components
- Turbines, engines & rotating equipment

Methods We Use for Surface Inspection
- Visual Inspection (VT) The first line of inspection detects visible cracks, dents, corrosion, misalignment, and surface anomalies.
- Liquid Penetrant Testing (PT / DPT) Highly effective for detecting fine surface cracks and pinholes on non-porous materials.
- Magnetic Particle Testing (MT / MPI) Used for ferromagnetic materials to detect surface and near surface discontinuities.
- Ultrasonic Surface Flaw Detection Uses high frequency sound waves to detect internal and shallow subsurface flaws.
- Eddy Current Surface Scanning Ideal for crack detection, conductivity testing, coating validation, and corrosion mapping especially on non-ferrous metals.
- Microscopic & Digital Imaging Analysis High resolution inspection to detect micro defects and texture variance ideal for precision components.
- Surface Roughness Measurement (Ra / Rz Profiling) Used to evaluate surface finish quality and manufacturing compliance before coating or assembly.
