In February 2020, Halfwave AS was acquired by NDT Global’s parent company.
Now, the official integration will bring many opportunities to the two organisations in terms of services and technological advancements “that will be able to help pipeline operators operate their pipelines safely and efficiently”, said NDT Global Senior Vice-President Andy Bain.
“We truly believe this integration marks the start of a new chapter of what has already been a great story for NDT Global and Halfwave,” he said.
“We are excited about adding ART to our portfolio as it perfectly complements NDT Global’s Ultrasonic Technology (UT) solutions.
“NDT Global is now a single supplier of gas and liquid pipeline inspections and integrity management services.”
Halfwave is the owner of the proprietary Acoustic Resonance Technology (ART), an ultrasound-based technique that allows high-precision measurements in imperfect conditions and without the need for liquid couplant.
The ART technique allows NDT Global to enter the in-service gas pipeline segment and present an alternative to MFL and EMAT testing.
