Wherever welds, coatings and alloys have to hold

Our people have worked pipeline rights-of-way, hydro sites, pulp mills and defence projects. Here’s what each sector usually calls us for.

  • Oil and gas pipelines

    Welding, coating and NDE oversight for new construction, maintenance and integrity work on small- and large-diameter pipelines and their facilities. Our team has worked with operators including Enbridge and Westcoast Energy.

  • Energy and hydro

    Inspection and audit support for generation and transmission assets that have to stay in service for decades. BC Hydro is among the organizations we have worked with.

  • Pulp, paper and process plants

    Shutdown and maintenance inspection, pressure vessel and piping inspection support, and PMI that keeps the right alloys in corrosive service.

  • Marine

    NDE and welding inspection for vessels, docks and marine structures, where salt water finds every coating holiday and weld defect.

  • Nuclear and radiation work

    Two decades of working around ionizing radiation, in industry and in emergency response. Our in-house Radiation Safety Officer runs the program.

  • Defence, security and law enforcement

    Our Special Projects Division performs confidential NDE and engineering assessments on firearms, body armour, CBRN equipment and other technical items. Clients include the Department of National Defence.

  • Mining and placer claims

    Non-destructive screening that tells placer miners and prospectors what their samples hold: gold, silver, platinum, palladium and more.

  • Property, environmental and import

    Lead paint and heavy metal screening for older buildings, remediation projects and imported products that must be verified lead-free.

  • Metals, scrap and recycling

    Alloy identification for yards and buyers who sort and sell by grade, plus operator training so your own staff can run the analyzer and sign the reports.
