Advanced Non-Destructive Testing & Structural Diagnostics

Specialist inspection technologies supporting accurate structural condition assessments across transport, industrial, marine and energy infrastructure.

Bridgeworx provides advanced non-destructive testing (NDT) services to support detailed structural assessments without causing damage to the asset.

These methods allow early defect identification, accurate condition reporting and informed maintenance planning across critical infrastructure.

Our NDT Capabilities

Bridgeworx offers a range of conventional and advanced NDT techniques, selected to suit the asset type and inspection objectives.

01
Ultrasonic Testing (UT)

Ultrasonic testing is used to assess material thickness, detect corrosion-related section loss and evaluate weld integrity in steel structures.

Applications include:

  • Corrosion and steel thickness assessment
  • Weld integrity verification
  • Structural steel condition evaluation
  • Industrial and marine asset inspections
02
Magnetic Particle Inspection

Magnetic particle inspection is used to identify surface and near-surface cracking in ferromagnetic materials.

Applications include:

  • Weld crack detection
  • Fatigue crack identification
  • Inspection of high-stress steel components
03
Dye Penetrant Inspection

Dye penetrant inspection is used to detect surface-breaking defects in non-porous materials.

Applications include:

  • Surface crack detection
  • Weld inspection
  • Fabrication verification
04
Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing

Phased array ultrasonic testing provides enhanced weld inspection capability using multi-angle ultrasonic analysis.

This technique allows improved defect detection and characterisation in critical structural components.

Applications include:

  • Detailed weld assessment
  • Defect sizing and evaluation
  • High-integrity structural steel inspections
05
Radiographic Testing

Where detailed internal weld examination is required, radiographic testing can be arranged.
Bridgeworx holds radiographic inspection qualifications and coordinates certified radiography services when required.

06
Drone-Assisted & Thermal Inspection Technologies

Bridgeworx integrates advanced aerial inspection technology to improve access, safety and efficiency.

Drone-Based Visual Inspections
  • High-access steel and concrete structures
  • Gantries, towers and marine assets
  • Industrial plant and elevated infrastructure
  • Hard-to-reach structural elements

Drone inspections reduce access requirements and improve safety in complex environments.

07
Thermal Imaging

Thermal imaging is used to detect heat differentials and anomalies that may indicate underlying defects.

Applications include:

  • Solar array anomaly detection
  • Moisture ingress identification
  • Concrete delamination screening
  • Elevated asset diagnostics

Thermal data supports broader structural assessment findings.

Applied Across Multiple Asset Sectors

These advanced inspection methods support condition assessments across:

Engineering-Led, Technology Supported

Bridgeworx combines formal NDT qualifications with practical structural engineering knowledge to deliver clear, prioritised reporting for asset owners and operators.

Inspection methods are selected based on asset risk, access constraints and lifecycle considerations — ensuring outcomes are practical, defensible and aligned with maintenance planning.
