Axiom NDT and Offshore Services

Offshore, Onshore and Overseas

The energy industry presents many interesting challenges and our approach is to provide a tailored service for each project, taking time to understand our clients expectations.

Building on the reputation of our parent company, we are able to cater for inspection, maintenance and construction projects in the most unlikely of locations.

Our experience within the offshore drilling industry spans more than twenty years, going back to our first annual surveys for Exxon Mobil in 1986, then named Mobil North Sea Ltd, (still an ongoing contract).

Recent years have seen Axiom branch out into all sectors of the oil and gas industry and we are also well placed to cater for the expanding renewable energy sector.

In addition to our other accreditations, we are members of the Industrial Rope Access Trade Association (IRATA) and the Lifting Equipment Engineers Association (LEEA). Find out more about these organisations.

Featured Service

Eddy Current Inspection (ECI)

We have developed an approved procedure for flaw detection in galvanised weldments such as crown block padeye and racking board welds. This does not require removal of coating prior to inspection, hence saving time and avoiding the need for re-application of coating. We are also able to test through Thermal Sprayed Aluminium (TSA)in a similar manner, making the technique ideal for inspection of flare stacks and risers.
