Characterization and inspection services

The first step to solving a challenging problem is to understand it. James Fisher provides the tools needed to characterize, inspect and monitor critical components in hazardous environments. We employ experts in non-destructive testing methods and deploy them to our customers’ sites to aid in their most difficult projects.

Laser scans

3D scan imported into video or CAD package · Detailed survey from a distance · Complex structures modeled quickly · Simple tripod deployment

Non-destructive examination

Conventional techniques: ultrasonic, eddy current testing · Specialized methods: Time of Flight Diffraction and high resolution ultrasonic imaging · Tube testing services: remote visual, IRIS ultrasonic & eddy current methods · Technique development · Inspection planning

Sonar scans
