Qualitas Material Testing Laboratories

Conventional Nondestructive Testing (NDT) describes a process in which welds, materials or equipment can be examined for various types of discontinuities such as cracks, weld discontinuities, corrosion, or wear that does not require the destruction of the component being tested.

Non-destructive testing has become a widely used solution for numerous types of industrial project in the manufacturing, construction, plant operation and other engineering sectors. There are many different NDT methods available, each of which has both advantages and disadvantages. Our NDT team provides qualified inspectors with the capability to choose the right method to solve the inspection or testing challenge that any industrial project might face. As a result, you can be sure of both safe operation and improved quality while reducing overall cost. We perform shop or field inspections wherever required to any codes, standards or customer specification.

Rope Access Services Not Limited by Height, Inclination or Location.

Inspection work can be done more effectively, more safely and more cost-effectively, compared to conventional access methods.

Qualitas rope access team follows a system, is a safe method of working at height where ropes and associated equipment are used to gain access to and from the work place, and to be supported there. Qualitas RA team are experienced and qualified personnels and professionally trained and certified by Industrial Rope Access Trade Association.

The advantage of using rope access methods mainly lies in the safety and speed with which workers can get to or from difficult locations and then carry out their work, often with minimal impact on other operations and the nearby area. Another major benefit is that the combination of the total man-hours and the level of risk for a particular task (man-at-risk hours) is often reduced when compared with other means of access and their associated risks and costs.

The primary objective when using rope access methods is to plan, manage and carry out the work with minimal accidents, incidents or dangerous occurrences, i.e. to ensure a safe system of work is maintained at all times, and with no damage to property or harm to the environment. IRATA International has in place a continuously evolving regime of work procedures that members are required to follow and which are monitored for compliance to ensure that a safe system of work is established and maintained. This sets IRATA International member companies apart from rope access companies that are not subject to such a rigorous scheme. RA Team operates under the guidelines of IRATA International Codes of Practice.
