Direct visual testing
Close visual examination of accessible surfaces, welds, components, and structural conditions.
Conventional nondestructive testing
Visual Testing & NDT Inspection Services
Visual testing is a fundamental NDT method for identifying surface conditions, workmanship concerns, corrosion, deformation, leakage, and other visible indications.
Inspection done right
Reliable results for critical assets
NVI technicians perform direct and remote visual examinations using the access, lighting, magnification, measurement tools, and documentation required by the inspection scope.
Visual inspection can stand alone or guide follow-up NDT. It is commonly integrated with weld inspection, mechanical integrity, marine, pipeline, rope access, and turnaround programs.
Capabilities
What NVI provides
Remote visual inspection
Borescope and video-probe inspection for internal or difficult-to-access areas.
