Inspection & Non-Destructive Testing
Inspection & Non-Destructive Testing actively aids in reducing risk whilst increasing the efficiency of operating plant & equipment as well as ensuring the safety of the people operating and working within the vicinity of assets. Our experienced inspectors & NDT Technicians can work with you to ensure industry compliance with code, statutory regulations and legislative requirements are met. We have the ability to inspect buried lines, live piping and operating vessels without the need to isolate or shutdown whilst in production.
Incorporating inspection and non-destructive testing into the lead-up to planned outages to assess current conditions to reduce unplanned outage times aids in adequately planning for required remediation work scopes. Construction & welding compliance if also applicable to our skillset and company accreditation.
Environmental consideration is also another justification to perform inspection & non-destructive testing to avoid such environmental incidents from such causes as (bursts, explosions, leaks & spills) which can cause damage to the environment. We can have a proactive approach and use inspection data to prevent incidents from occurring that could result in possible loss of mining or operating license.

In-Service Inspection
ISI is the ongoing and routine planned maintenance inspections to ensure the safe operating of plant & equipment. All engineered equipment has a finite life cycle and deteriorates over time with use especially if there are harsh environmental conditions in which it operates. RGK provide comprehensive in-service inspection services across a range of industries to assist our clients with their asset integrity management.
-
Risk Based Inspection
RBI is a customised ongoing inspection strategy that is tailored to the requirements and conditions of the plant and equipment in use. Our experienced API & AICIP inspectors will gather extensive data of the assets operating history & conditions to apply strategic inspection methodology practices that relate to the known condition of the asset.
-
Pipeline Inspection
Pipeline condition monitoring is critical given the severe consequences and environmental damage that can result from loss of containment. Whether slurry lines or high-pressure gas RGK can assist with developing baseline surveys and ongoing inspection techniques to evaluate changes in piping conditions.
-
Tank & Vessel Inspection
High volume storage and under-pressure elements pose a significant risk if monitoring and regular inspection methodologies are not scheduled. RGK can assist with ensuring statutory inspection requirements are met and that anomalies or problematic issues are identified and measured.
Thanks Aaron. Great to see RGK Resources service is still on point.
