A technician who has experience in structural ultrasonic testing can navigate these challenges through skill and utilizing special procedures. Utilizing NDT inspection of infrastructure projects, including ultrasonic testing and advanced ultrasonic testing techniques such as Phased Array UT, is a cornerstone of AEIS’ work. AEIS has created the Goel UT Challenge to recognize and celebrate the best structural UT technicians of our generation.

“NDT offers valuable career opportunities for those interested in working in this growing field,” Mr. Goel stated. “For over 12 years, AEIS has been providing testing, inspection and certification solutions to help clients and projects create the best possible outcomes and the greatest level of public safety.

NDT testing services help determine the integrity and features of infrastructure, materials and structures, helping project owners ensure compliance, meet material standards, and quality assurance.
