SWS NDT the South West School Of Non - Destructive Testing

NDT Consultancy

In recent years sophisticated industries have recognised the importance of NDT to their own product quality. Critical demands are placed on NDT engineers and the techniques upon which they rely. This has led to an increasingly frequent requirement for all inspection and testing to be conducted using procedures specified and controlled by highly experienced 'Level 3' certified engineers.

We offer the expertise of one of the largest teams of independently certified Level III engineers in the UK. These engineers have been chosen so that their skills and experience provide a pool of knowledge covering the needs of a wide variety of engineering industries and their manufacturing techniques. (E.g. welding, casting, forging, composite materials and fabrication etc.). Each of our engineers carries multi-disciplinary certification. Approvals have also been gained under all of the major British, European and American certification systems.
