What We Do

Nondestructive Testing Services

Advanced NDT

Advanced NDT utilizes industry-leading technology and equipment to detect, measure, and evaluate any defects, material thickness, and characterizations. Prime NDT offers a vast range of advanced NDT methods, including automated ultrasonic testing (AUT), phased array (PAUT), time-of-flight diffraction (TOFD), and real-time radiography (RTR).

Conventional NDT

Considered one of the most common practices, conventional NDT techniques are used to find defects in surface and subsurface materials. Prime NDT offers a variety of conventional NDT techniques, such as radiography (RT), manual ultrasonic testing (UT), liquid penetrant testing (PT), and magnetic particle testing (MPT).

Industry Solutions

The Right NDT Methodology for Every Integrity Challenge

New Construction Pipelines & Plants

Prime NDT has over 25 years of experience providing accurate and reliable pipeline inspection services - providing large-scale, pipeline NDT services for major up- and midstream companies, while also working with some of the largest pipeline contractors in North America.

Integrity Assessments

Integrity Assessments are vital to ensure the safety, quality, and fitness-for-service of pipelines, piping systems, and fixed equipment in the industrial industries. We offer onsite NDT methods aimed to verify, validate, and/or provide detailed data and analysis to help operators make integrity decisions and manage threats.

Turnarounds

During the Turnaround process we provide conventional and/or advanced NDT (API 510, 570, 653, 583), and complete reporting of findings, whether the equipment meets applicable code (per piping ASME design code). If the results determine the equipment as “rejected” for Fitness-For-Service, and the customer decides to repair or replace the piping and/or equipment, our NDT team can follow up with NDT assessments on those items.

Maintenance Shutdowns

Without sufficient inspection data, repair and maintenance services can be time-consuming, costly, and can miss hidden damages in critical assets. Our goal is to prioritize the inspection and maintenance work that will be required by focusing on the assets most at risk of consequential failure based on historical inspection data.

Emergency Outage Call-outs

In emergency situations, we are ready to deploy qualified personnel onsite within a 24-hour notice from our Houston-based office.

Prime NDT is a subsidiary company of RAE Energy, Inc. and is primarily responsible for the North American market for onshore pipeline and facility inspection projects.

Prime NDT works closely with UT Quality, Inc., also a RAE company, to provide global offshore NDT.
