Nuclear Power: Leading the Charge in Safety

Eagle Eye NDT plays a vital role in upholding Canada's exceptional safety record in nuclear facilities. Our team of Level III certified personnel, qualified by the Canadian Society for Non-Destructive Testing (CSNDT), utilizes a comprehensive toolbox of NDT methods to inspect nuclear reactors, pressure vessels, and other critical components.

Ultrasonic Testing (UT): This cornerstone testing technique employs sound waves to detect hidden flaws within materials commonly used in nuclear power plants. Advanced variations like Phased Array UT (PAUT) are used for intricate geometries in reactor pressure vessels.
Radiographic Testing (RT): Similar to medical X-rays, RT utilizes electromagnetic radiation to reveal internal defects in welds and other inaccessible areas of nuclear components.
Eddy Current Testing (ET): This method utilizes a magnetic field to identify surface and subsurface defects, such as cracks and corrosion, in conductive materials used in nuclear facilities, such as pipes and heat exchangers.

Geo Thermal

Geothermal power plants harness the Earth's heat, but the harsh conditions demand rigorous inspection. Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) is crucial for ensuring safety, reliability, and longevity in these plants.

Why NDT is Essential:

Prevents Failures: NDT detects corrosion, cracks, and other defects in pipes, wells, and equipment before they lead to dangerous failures or leaks.
Ensures Safety: High pressures and temperatures in geothermal plants necessitate proactive safety measures. NDT helps identify potential hazards, ensuring worker and environmental safety.
Optimizes Performance: Regular NDT inspections allow for predictive maintenance, reducing downtime and maximizing energy production.
Extends Lifespan: By detecting corrosion and scaling early on, NDT helps extend the life of critical components, reducing costs and environmental impact.

NDT Applications in Geothermal Plants:

Corrosion inspection in pipes and vessels using ultrasonic testing and radiography.
Weld quality assurance using radiographic and ultrasonic testing.
Well integrity assessment using acoustic and caliper logging.
Turbine and heat exchanger inspection for wear and tear.

NDT is vital for the safe and efficient operation of geothermal power plants, contributing to a sustainable energy future.
