Case: windmill foundation manufacturer

A Belgian windmill foundation manufacturer avoids unnecessary repairs due to a proper NDT procedure

Challenge

A Belgian windmill foundation manufacturer assigns two companies for non-destructive testing services.

Inspector A says the works have been carried out correctly. Inspector B says the opposite is the case.

Who is right and are repairs necessary?

Solution

Inspecto Visio is assigned for a ‘third opinion’ and performs a cross check based on the existing procedures and used parameters.

Their conclusion: both inspectors are right. The procedure, drawn up by the client, can be interpreted in two ways, allowing the results to be multi-interpretable.

Result

Inspecto Visio rewrites the NDT procedure. The improved procedure ensures that all unnecessary future repairs are avoided.

Thus costs are cut considerably.

Take away

Not everybody is capable of writing a proper NDT procedure. A client writing his own procedure, is like a butcher inspecting his own meat.

It is imperative that NDT procedures are written by an independent as well as skilled company.
