Success Story
Global Oil and Gas Company
The Challenge:
Faced with an operational challenge, a small team of designated professionals,
primarily comprised of Intertek Moody personnel, had been tasked with
identifying opportunities for improvement within various areas of operations in the
“North Slope” region of Alaska.
Recognizing the need to create depth within the client organization, one of the
team’s challenges was to build up the pool of qualified resources available to the
client.
The Solution:
To improve the retention of quality personnel, the team commenced a training program
for multiple users in the more in-depth features of the new operational reporting and
historical tracking software, allowing for growth opportunities.
Rotation of personnel between programs helped to reduce complacency, and weekly
meetings were held to ensure questions were answered.
Training workshops were developed for clients and contractors.
Personnel were moved to an even rotation
schedule and workloads were reallocated to
allow for higher quality of work.

Success Story
The Challenge:
Ensuring first-time, clash-free installation of a
950 ton reactor at Nucor Steel plant, in Convent, LA.
Due to the sheer scale of the reactor, safety concerns and cost control, it was
imperative that this reactor fit into its structure on the first try.
The Solution:
Intertek used laser scanners and surveying instruments to scan the entire reactor
and tower sections and performed dimensional control to set up a common
coordinate system in order to accurately interrogate for extraction of required data.
Various clashes were identified and accurate, detailed data provided for obtaining
correct position within the tower. Schedule was tight and a constant feed of
information and communication was maintained between Intertek and Nucor.
Installation of the reactor involved using the largest onshore crane in the world.

Success Story
Power Company
The Challenge:
A major power company needed to detect and analyze wall loss, due to
corrosion, in pipework on a gas installation. The customer required a solution
that would give the best results without removing the pipe-lagging which would
have caused major disruption to operations.
The Solution:
Using the latest digital radiographic technology and a gamma isotope Intertek NDT
was able to take radiographs using a tangential technique which allowed the
radiographs to physically measure the wall thickness of the pipe examined, and
also to check for corrosion deposits and density changes which may indicate
‘through wall loss’.
In the areas where significant corrosion had occurred, the customer was able to
view the images as the examination was taking place and to then instruct repairs
for the following day. On completing the tests, all images were downloaded on to
discs, enabling the customer to store them and review them in their own facility.

Non Destructive Testing Services – Advanced Technologies
Phased Array has become a valuable complement to Intertek INSPEC’s ultrasonic department. The
ability of phased array ultrasonic inspection can now be utilized on process spool piping and large
heavy wall tubulars where safety, time, quality and cost is a major factor to our clients.
Eddy current testing is an electromagnetic technique and can only be used on conductive materials.
It’s applications range from crack detection, to the rapid sorting of small components for either flaws,
size variations, or material variation. Commonly it is used in the aerospace, automotive, marine and
manufacturing industries.
Thermography is an NDT method that relies on the agitation of the flow of heat. Such agitation
produces deviations in the structure’s surface temperature distribution allowing a technician to
determine the thermal signature of the affected area where thermal disorder happened due to abnormal
heat generation or absorption.
24
Non Destructive Testing Services – Associated Services
In addition to NDT services, Intertek INSPEC also provides associated services such as:
Calibration Services – Calibration ensures that an instrument is capable of measuring to its
performance specification by comparing performance to a measurement standard.
Post Weld Heat Treatment – This heat treatment is carried out after welding / machining to improve the
chemical mechanical properties of welded / machined surfaces.
Metallurgical Laboratory Testing – Metallography looks for internal and surface defects on test
specimens. Specimens are prepared and analyzed for a wide variety of criteria including corrosion,
surface finish, case depth and more.

Success Story
The Challenge:
Loss of energy due to poor insulation and maintenance is a major concern in
high rise towers and electrical installations. As is damage to structures due to
moisture ingress. The risk of accidents as a result of damaged walls or
installations is a major concern
The Solution:
Thermal imaging was used on a hotel building wall to detect ingress of moisture
and damage caused by leakage from concealed water pipes. Repairs were
recommended to stop the water ingress and therefore avoid further damage and
additional costly repairs.

Success Story
UNESA
The Challenge:
The Spanish Association of the Electrical Industry (UNESA) requires each
nuclear power plant to review its Flow Accelerated Corrosion (FAC) program
according to requirements as outlined in the US NRC NUREG 1801 Generic
Aging Lessons Learned (GALL) Report.
Spanish nuclear power plants
maintain various programs for
monitoring FAC in piping
systems as they age. These
power plants need to
ensure they are in compliance
with the GALL Report.
The Solution:
In response to this need, Intertek conducted surveys which gathered ten main
attributes of the GALL report - Flow Accelerated Corrosion XI.M17 section. Visiting
with the FAC program representatives at each nuclear power plant, we evaluated
their systems, highlighted any non-compliance issues or deficiencies, and
proposed improvements.
As a result, key findings were presented to the plant representatives – compliance
information that will help them meet the requirements of US NRC NUREG 1801.
