A British NDT company,
in the same trade since 1985.

A BINDT-approved training provider and ISO 9001:2015 certified company, working from 10,000 sq ft of purpose-built space on Siskin Drive — a few minutes from the M6, between Birmingham and Coventry airports.

The floors
Four floors of work,
one building.
A section through the company: train the people, test the parts, advise the plants, supply the kit. Each floor has its own gate — and something you take away with you.

What each level
is allowed to do.
Three rungs, drawn the way a plant manager needs them: the job each level signs for, and the exam that unlocks the next one.

Where it goes
Seven sectors,
one set of methods.
The same eight methods travel across all of them — penetrant, magnetic particle, ultrasonic, eddy current, digital and film radiography, acid etch, hardness and conductivity.

“One of the world’s leading NDT companies.”
They also claim a combined 300 years of experience across the team. What can be checked is smaller and more useful: the approvals, the standard, and the building.
