Eliminating the need for shutdowns

Inspection

Proper and systematic facility and equipment inspections ensure their operational availability and maximum performance. Inadequate or poorly executed inspections lead to safety hazards and unplanned downtime, resulting in losses and compliance issues.

At Newtron Technologies, we know that successful inspection is dependent on the capabilities and limitations of each available inspection technique, and we know which one to select or combine based on each unique inspection request. These different inspection methods include among others, Non-Intrusive Inspection [NII] and Remote Inspection [RI]. 

Equipped with extensive expertise in existing and emerging NDT technologies, we are uniquely positioned to deliver fully integrated NII services. NII is performed while the asset is in-service, thus reducing the need for shutdown times. Depending on the industry, associated production losses and thus revenue losses, are minimised.

In hard-to-reach, or remote locations and confined space assets, we can perform technical inspections through remote technology. Our Remote Inspection solution can solve problems where an asset may appear in safe operating condition on the outside, but internal corrosion or cracking can lead to serious safety and productivity concerns. 

Whatever the inspection need, Newtron has the teams, knowledge and technologies to cover it. 

Why use Inspection Services
Here are the top reasons why NII and RI are increasingly employed:
No shutdowns
NII and RI can both be performed while the asset is in-service, thus reducing the need for shutdown times. Depending on the industry, associated production losses and thus revenue losses, are minimised.
Anytime & Anywhere Data
Remote access provides cloud-based data collection for asset management that delivers visibility into all aspects of their asset inspection and maintenance needs.
Reductions
RI and NII reduce hazards related to asset entry, internal cleaning requirements before inspection as well as personnel and resources requirements needed in traditional inspection methods. Shorter lead times are also a benefit of NII.
Intact Integrity
As asset entry is not necessary, the impact on the asset’s integrity is eliminated. In fact, the asset’s integrity is increased through increased quality of inspections and analyses.
Accuracy
These inspection methods provide, at shorter lead times and more frequent timings, quantified and accurate data that can be used for FFS calculations and asset performance analytics.
Does my industry need Inspections?

Equipment, such as pressure vessels and pressure systems, must undergo periodic review to ensure internal and external degradation are identified early, are repaired without damage and thus remain in safe and reliable operation.
Suppose your industry is dependent on such assets and your asset integrity strategy relies on minimising shutdown times along with minimum asset intervention. In that case, NII and RI programs should be your choice of inspection methods.
