Visual Inspection
Visual inspection (VT) is the original method of nondestructive testing (NDT) and is considered the most effective NDT testing technique for detecting surface defects. Acuren’s experienced visual inspectors approach each job with a deep understanding of the applicable code requirements, products and processes, anticipated service conditions and acceptance criteria. Our certified technicians leverage their expertise to ensure that all defects are recorded. Acuren has over 250 VT Level II and Level III inspectors, and 400 API certified technicians with the training and experience required to reliably and accurately assess surface flaws.
