Hull welds, propeller shafts, pressure equipment — automated inspection built for the rigour of DNV, BV, and LR standards.
Shipbuilding is one of the largest consumers of structural steel weld inspection in the world. Automated NDT systems for the shipbuilding and marine sector must be capable of high-throughput production inspection — operating in demanding shipyard environments while consistently meeting the inspection standards of classification societies including DNV, Bureau Veritas, Lloyd's Register, and ABS.
For in-service marine inspection, Altair Systems provides automated systems for the periodic inspection of propulsion system components, hull structure, and pressure equipment — enabling inspection programmes that are faster, more complete, and better documented than conventional manual approaches.
What We Inspect: Hull plate and structural steel welds; pressure vessels and marine piping; propulsion shafts and bearings; mooring and anchor chain components; offshore platform structural members; ship loading equipment and crane components; cargo tank structures.
Applicable Standards: IACS requirements; DNV-GL rules; Bureau Veritas, Lloyd's Register, ABS classification standards; ISO 17638 (MPI); ISO 17635, 17640 (UT/PAUT weld inspection). NDT Methods Used: UT | PAUT | TOFD | MPI | RT/DR | VT
Recommended Systems: Automated Weld Inspection Systems | Semi-automated UT Scanners | NDT Facility Setup for Shipyard Environments
