Why SPECTRO?

SPECTRO has a track record, with proven

performance on new construction, pipeline

installation, in-service inspection and expansion

projects,asthetotalNDTsolutionproviderinallover

India. Our service offering varies from the

conventionalNDTtechniquestoadvancedmethods

likeRiskBasedInspection,TimeofFlightDiffraction,

Positive Material Identi�ication, Magnetic Flux

Leakage, Leak Testing, Electromagnetic Testing,

DigitalRadiographyetc.

Vast losses in the industrial sector are caused by

malfunctions that could be prevented. Although

damagesanddegradationofisolationmaterialsand

othermaterialsarenotvisible, inmostcases they

can be solved through preventive measures.The

temperature of an object is often a suf�icient

indicator of the performance of the installation.

SPECTRO can offer you inspection technology to

maketemperaturedifferencesvisible.

Pile Integrity TestThe Pile Integrity test confirms the absence of major

cracks and voids on any type of concrete foundations

prior to construction of the superstructure.

Core Cutting

Core sampling may be used to verify the

presence of steel corrosion, voids and

delamination, and to determine concrete

strength directly. Core Provides true

Residual Life Assessment

Before the renovation and modernization / life extension programme, it is

mandatory to conduct Residual Life Assessment study (RLA) of all critical

components,whichbringsintonoticeformandatoryreplacement/modi�ications
