📸: A technician from Gabi Shoef Ltd. conducts an off-stream internal inspection of an aboveground oil storage tank floor in accordance with the API 653 inspection program. The photo was taken at a tank farm on a sunny 105 °F summer day in Israel. ☀️ Most aboveground storage tank leakage is caused by corrosion on the underside of floor plates, where the plates are in contact with the foundation. The inspection was performed using the magnetic flux leakage array technique for floor mapping in order to locate bottom-side corrosion on the floor plates that cannot be visually inspected and to determine the tank suitability for continued service.

📸: With rope access inspection not being a mainstream service in New Zealand, I.A Solutions’ asset integrity team is providing new opportunities for its clients. The team recently conducted an ultrasonic thickness testing (UTT) survey of a gas conditioning tower at a cement plant, taking UTT readings at 2 m grids throughout the vessel’s interior. This is routine condition monitoring taking place during scheduled maintenance shutdowns, previously not possible without the utilization of rope access internally. The vessel had never been entered before, so significant confined space atmosphere monitoring and rope access rescue was necessary. Twelve sets of ropes pre-rigged for rescue were set up, and technicians transferred their way around the vessel. All inspec- tors held UT Level II and IRATA level 3 qualifications.

🚢 Ensuring Marine Safety with NDT & UTG 🌊 In the maritime industry, Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) plays a vital role in maintaining the integrity of vessels, pipelines, and offshore structures without causing any damage. One of the most effective methods in this field is Ultrasonic Thickness Gauging (UTG). 🔍 What is UTG? UTG is a precise technique used to measure the thickness of a material—often metal—using high-frequency sound waves. This helps detect corrosion, wear, and defects in ship hulls, underwater pipelines, and marine structures. By identifying potential weak points early, UTG helps prevent costly repairs and enhances safety at sea. ⚙️ How Does it Work? A technician places a probe on the metal surface. Ultrasonic waves are transmitted through the material, and their reflection is used to calculate the thickness. This fast and reliable method helps engineers and maintenance teams monitor the health of critical infrastructure in marine environments. 🏗️ Why is it Important? In harsh marine conditions, structures are prone to corrosion and degradation. Regular NDT and UTG inspections ensure the safety, longevity, and operational efficiency of vessels and offshore installations, preventing accidents and maintaining compliance with maritime safety standards. #AIMMSGroup #NDT #UltrasonicTesting #Safety #Reliability #Inspection #QualityControl

🔧🛢️ The Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) space is like a mysterious galaxy for many. Everyday is a new exploration, with challenges as intriguing as unlocking the next level of a gripping video game. With Thermography, Ultrasonic Testing, or Magnetic Particle Inspection, we aren't just inspecting - we're story hunting. What will we uncover today? For more than a decade, my journey has led me through the veins of the Oil&Gas, Petrochemical, and Refining Industry. Each day, I bring my ISO 9712 & SNT-TC-1A certifications to the table, making sure that safety and quality are not just terms, but a lived reality in our installations. When I strap on my traction boots as a Rope Access Level 3 Supervisor/Trainer, OPITO Rigger, it's not just for an adrenaline rush. It's for that precise place where challenge meets passion. Every pipe tells a story. Every flaw points to a chance for improvement. Every successful inspection is a step towards better, safer and more efficient industry practices. And the best part? This exploration never ends. 🔎📚 Do you have any thrilling NDT tales to share or questions to ask? Elemeants waiting impatiently to learn from your experience. Let's keep pushing boundaries and raising industry standards. Together, we can make every inspection a tale worth telling. #NDTInspection #OilandGas #PetrochemicalIndustry #RopeAccess #SafetyFirst #QualityInspection #NDTGameChangers

🌟What has been your most challenging inspection to date?🧐 🛥️Location? It could be based on a remote location in deepest jungle, at the bottom of the ocean floor, etc. 🔎Technically demanding for some reason? The asset owner/project manager asking you to break the laws of physics and find the impossible ⏲️Scale/timeframe of the job? Inspect the whole of this tank and you’ve got 20 mins to do it 🦺Lack of proper equipment? A poor tradesperson blames their tools, but NDT is a higher art. #difficultinspection #inspectorchallenges #ndtinspector

Field Operations Engineer 🖤💀⚙️ 🔥☕ The underwater welding process has been developed and improved significantly in recent years due to the arrival of new electrodes and the application of new welding techniques. This, together with new generation equipment and energy sources, has resulted in a quality in underwater welding similar to that obtained in surface work. Currently, the professional diver who performs such work is listed in the American Welding Society D3.6, as a certified welder who is also a commercial diver, capable of performing tasks associated with commercial underwater work, assembly and preparation of the weld and who has the ability to produce welds in accordance with AWS D3.6, specification for underwater welding (wet or dry), and other activities related to welding. #oilgas #wellservices #professionalexperiences #engineering #ecuador #petroleumengineer #wellintervention #engineer #work #moments #worksafe #workhard #IADC #IWCF #PetroleumServices
