One overlooked weld crack or a misplaced ultrasonic reading can snowball into catastrophe. Inspectors warned for months that the Revolution ethane pipeline in Pennsylvania was being buried on unstable ground; when their findings stayed on a growing punch-list instead of being fixed, the hillside gave way and the pipe erupted into a fireball that flattened a home and scarred the community. Effective inspection is only half the battle; the other half is making sure every finding is logged, tracked, and closed before an asset goes back into service. A disciplined, risk-based inspection framework channels effort toward the spots most likely to fail, cutting downtime and focusing resources where they matter.
How we help
NWTI starts by mapping your drawings and specifications against the relevant API, AWS, ASTM, and ISO codes, then building a risk-weighted inspection plan that fits your schedule. Field work is carried out by multi-certified inspectors—API 510/570/653, AWS CWI, NACE/AMPP—whose qualifications mirror or exceed industry leaders. Every day, photographs, measurements, and non-destructive-testing data flow into a secure digital log that owners, contractors, and regulators can view in real time, eliminating the blind spots that plague paper reports. When an anomaly appears, we trigger on-site failure analysis and issue corrective actions before the next shift begins, so problems are solved while they are still small.
The NWTI edge
- Single source of truth – one cloud-based log for drawings, readings, photos, and sign-offs, accessible 24/7.
- Vendor-neutral reporting – our only allegiance is to the code and the asset, not a coatings line or fabrication shop.
- Risk-based methodology – inspection intervals and methods tied to real-world failure probabilities, not fixed calendars.
- Multi-discipline depth – welds, coatings, pressure equipment, and structural steel all covered by specialists on the same team.
- Actionable turnaround – non-conformities are issued within 24 hours, with suggested repairs and re-inspection checkpoints.
