- 35% cost savings vs. traditional contractor sourcing
- Real-time tracking enabled project managers to monitor progress
- Digital reports delivered same-day

NDT Connect matched the operator with 5 local Aberdeen-based providers experienced in offshore work. The platform could compare qualifications, insurance, and offshore certifications side-by-side.
Results
- Full structural assessment completed in one weather window
- Multi-disciplinary team coordinated through single platform
- Comprehensive corrosion mapping delivered digitally

Challenge
A pipeline operator needed guided wave screening across 500km of cross-country pipeline including road crossings and river crossings, followed by detailed UT on flagged areas.
Solution
Through NDT Connect, the operator sourced a specialized GWT team for the initial screening and separate PAUT teams for follow-up detailed inspection, all coordinated through the platform.
Results
- 500km pipeline screened in 6 weeks
- 45 areas flagged for detailed follow-up
- Seamless handoff between screening and detailed inspection teams
- Complete digital audit trail for regulatory compliance
Challenge
An aerospace manufacturer needed additional certified NDT personnel to handle a surge in production without the lengthy process of hiring and certifying in-house staff.

Results
- Production bottleneck eliminated within one week
- All inspectors pre-verified with NAS 410 certifications
- Flexible staffing scaled up and down with demand
- Zero quality escapes maintained throughout surge
