Mixed reality is transforming the way inspections are carried out, delivering remarkable cost savings by optimizing operations. By digitalizing the NDE process, the reliability and repeatability of routine precise measurement data significantly improves. Empowering workers with digital tooling boosts productivity and enhances on-site safety. The augmented technician can quickly visualize, convey and interact with 3D data. Gains in efficiency are remarkable as workers can quickly expedite their data collection workflows. Instant remote assistance can be provided, making collaboration seamless. For more…

Dr Guido Tronca has over 20 years' experience in the field of NDT for civil engineering. He was product manager for concrete inspection products at Proceq SA (part of Screening Eagle Technologies) from 2014 to 2019. Dr Tronca now runs GTStudio, a successful NDT service and training provider in Italy, which he founded himself. Dr Tronca offers on-site and remote support for engineering firms, inspection companies and contractors operating in the fields of structural design, testing, maintenance and rehabilitation of modern and historical structures. Dr Tronca is a certified Level II/III Expert in several NDT methods for Civil Engineering at Italian Accredia, the Italian accreditation body.

Welding and repair of stainless steel and nickel-base alloys used in high temperature service present many challenges.  High temperature property requirements and service environment influence weld filler metal selection.  Weld filler metal ferrite and use of fully austenitic welding materials contribute additional unique situations.  Repairs and dissimilar welding also offer significant challenges.  Each of these areas will be discussed and examples presented to illustrate and assist in resolving or preventing many welding related issues encountered in high temperature service.

SFCW Ground Penetrating Radar- A paradigm shift in utility mapping Having accurate knowledge of subsurface/ underground/ buried utilities e.g. pipes, cables, drains is critical for any infrastructure project. The successful detection and mapping of buried utilities involves the combination of several techniques, the results of which are synthesized down to a single interpreted plot. The techniques and methodologies used will primarily depend upon the required outcome for the survey, the site conditions and the type of utilities being targeted. Ground…

Guided wave testing has been in the market for a number of years and provides an effective screening solution to identify areas on cross sectional defects along the length of a pipeline. The technique provides the most efficient method for covering large volumes of surface area and to help identify areas of concern for follow validation. GWT or LRUT uses ultrasonic wave forms transmitted down the length of the pipe to detect and interpret return signals for anomalies. Dr Paul…
