Overview

We audit NDE subcontractors as a third party, as part of your quality assurance program. Ed Hubbell has spent two decades in radiography and radiation safety, much of it on pipeline new construction and integrity replacement projects.

On site, we audit radiation safety practices and film quality against industry and client specifications. From our office, we review digital radiographs and film digitized to ASTM E1936-20.

We report findings promptly and work through them with the crew. Technicians who get useful feedback get better, and they tend to stay on your job. That saves you the cost of replacing a crew mid-project.
