Supporting inspection qualification, procedure development, NDT/NDE training and performance for new build, SMR and operating nuclear facilities.
Reliable nuclear inspection begins before deployment, with representative components that allow procedures, equipment and personnel to be evaluated under realistic conditions.
We manufacture flawed specimens, mock-ups and calibration blocks around the required component geometry, material, inspection method and qualification objective.
Build inspection capability before deployment
Develop and validate inspection approaches for emerging reactor designs, supply chain components and new construction programmes.
Support continued safe operation
Replicate component-specific degradation and inspection challenges to strengthen in-service inspection and asset integrity programmes.

Recreate realistic inspection conditions
Model challenging geometry, restricted access, material behaviour and relevant flaw characteristics in representative mock-ups.
Each specimen can be developed to support a defined stage of inspection readiness and qualification.
✓ Inspection procedure development and validation
✓ Inspection qualification and performance demonstration
✓ NDT/NDE training and personnel qualification
✓ Equipment setup, calibration and validation
✓ Probability of detection studies
Purpose-built specimens with accurately positioned flaws for development, training and validation.
Small- and large-scale mock-ups reproducing component geometry, access and realistic conditions.
