STRUCTURAL STEEL INSPECTION

FABCO’s consultants and CSA certified inspectors provide expertise in assessing welds, bolted connections and workmanship on structural steel framing to ensure applicable specifications are achieved.

Our clients benefit from our knowledge and experience and are able to utilize these skills throughout both shop fabrication and field erection phases of an assigned project. Identification of specific deficiencies facilitates a discussion of the findings among contractors, engineers and managers resulting in immediate corrective action.

Non-Destructive Testing Methods

FABCO offers a comprehensive understanding of approved ‘non-destructive testing’ (NDT) methods. NDT is implemented and coordinated with a specific application in accordance with client and project requirements. The following forms of NDT apply:

MAGNETIC PARTICLE TESTING

A non-destructive testing (NDT) process for detecting surface and slightly subsurface discontinuities in ferromagnetic materials such as iron, nickel, cobalt

ULTRASONIC TESTING

Ultrasonic inspection can be used for flaw detection/evaluation, dimensional measurements, material characterization, and more.

DYE PENETRANT TESTING

The dye penetrant testing can be used to locate discontinuities on material surfaces.

RADIOGRAPHIC TESTING

Defects are detected by differences in radiation absorption in the material as seen on a shadow graph displayed on photographic film or a fluorescent screen
