Non-destructive and materials testing at RTD (UK) Ltd

摘要

"At RTD (UK) Ltd we specialise in listening to our clients' requirements and invest in suitable techniques to enable their objectives to be met". So says Bob Rose, Group Manager-Specialised NDT Services at RTD (UK) Ltd. "NDT, together with materials engineering, is the perfect complement to enforce the CRINE (Cost Reduction in the New Era) philosophy of cost reduction by using a fitness-for-purpose strategy," he continues. "Shutdowns are costly and can be minimised by utilising non-invasive rapid large-area inspection techniques followed by in-depth analysis of areas of concern by either more sophisticated NDT techniques or critical engineering analysis. The continuing low oil prices and rising costs in industry have turned everyone's thoughts to life extension schemes for the utilities, and NDT plays a big part in life extension," says Bob.
