Element Materials Technology Group (Element or the Group), a global leader in testing, inspection, and certification (TIC) services, has been acquired by Temasek from Bridgepoint. Temasek, a global investor headquartered in Singapore, has been a minority shareholder in Element since 2019. The Group generates annual revenues of c.$1 billion and has grown at over 20% a [...]
Infrasense recently evaluated the condition of 12 bridge decks located in DuPage County, Illinois. The deck evaluations were carried out using vehicle-based ground penetrating radar (GPR) and high-resolution video (HRV) equipment operated at driving speeds. The GPR method was carried out according to ASTM specification D6087-08(2015). Supplementary to the topside surveys, visual underside distress surveys were [...]
Microwave nondestructive testing (MNDT) of substances is an essential discipline that includes the creation of sensors/probes, procedures, and calibration techniques for detecting flaws, fractures, faults, vacancies, heterogeneity, moisture levels, and other problems using microwaves. Microwave inspection can be done in two ways: a reflection phase or transmission phase. The microwave information is passed through the element [...]
The recent collapse of a bridge in Pittsburgh illustrates the wisdom of the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) which provides $1.2 trillion for improvements in America's infrastructure. Major improvements to bridges, roads and mechanical systems are clearly needed.

Manufacturers require non-destructive testing (NDT) to analyze the qualities of a material, component, structure, or system for distinctive variations, welding faults, and discontinuity without causing harm to the original part. Why NDT for Welding is Significant The assessment of weld quality is one of the most prevalent applications of nondestructive testing (NDT). This is due to [...]
MOODY AIR FORCE BASE, Ga. - April 8, 2022 - Ignore the headline, and let’s play a guessing game. What job do these Airmen have? They are trained to use ultrasound and x-ray machines. Nope, not medical. They also work with fluorescent dyes, but they’re not sheet metal technicians, either. How about magnetic particle testing, eddy [...]
Guided Wave Testing (GWT) or Long-Range Ultrasonic Testing (LRUT) has two main benefits: the ability to test inaccessible areas without the probes being directly over the area of inspection, and the rapid testing of long lengths of pipes efficiently. The latter is often thought to be achieved by pushing the range to the longest diagnostic range [...]
Wood has received funding from the Canadian Province of Newfoundland and Labrador to maximise employment for residents and support the recovery of the offshore oil and gas industry in the area. The project was secured under the Newfoundland and Labrador Offshore Oil and Gas Industry Recovery Assistance Fund and aims to establish an autonomous robotic inspection [...]
