Advancing the Field of Inspection
CAN’s dedicated ANDT team delivers high quality results using advanced inspection techniques designed to improve efficiency and solve complex integrity challenges.
With capabilities spanning manual to fully automated methods, and the ability to develop bespoke solutions, we help clients reduce risk and make confident integrity decisions.
Our dedicated ANDT capability is supported by an in house facility that enables validation, trials and application development, ensuring the right technique is applied in the right way. This means confident, fit for purpose inspection solutions, underpinned by proven delivery and continual innovation that improves safety and efficiency while strengthening asset integrity.
CAN’s advanced inspection services are specifically designed to minimise intrusive inspections and where possible we strive to optimise Non-Intrusive Inspection (NII) methods in accordance with industry recognised standards and practices. CAN Group offers an integrated and cost effective NII service with ENGTEQ providing the required engineering assessments and CAN delivering the inspection enactment on site.
This approach adds value to our clients’ operations as we offer the full cycle of NII services to maximise productive time by reducing shutdowns and the need for potentially hazardous man entry into vessels.
