Non-Destructive Testing — a range of inspection techniques used to assess the condition of materials, welds, and structures without causing damage. Common NDT methods include ultrasonic testing (UT), magnetic particle inspection (MPI), radiographic testing (RT), eddy current testing (ECT), and visual inspection. NDT technicians play a critical role in offshore asset integrity programmes, inspecting welds, pipework, and structural components. Qualifications are typically issued to PCN (CSWIP) standards.
