About NDT Global

NDT Global is the leading provider of inline diagnostic solutions, advanced data insights, and integrity management services that safeguard energy-sector infrastructure. The company is recognized for its expertise in both ultrasonic inspection technologies — such as Pulse Echo, Pitch-and-Catch, Phased Array, and Acoustic Resonance (ART Scan) — and ultra-high-resolution Magnetic Flux Leakage (MFL) inspection services. These differentiated offerings, along with non-ultrasonic technologies like Inertial Measurement Units and others in development, enable NDT Global to deliver comprehensive asset integrity solutions.

Innovation is at the core of NDT Global's mission. We continuously challenge the boundaries of existing technologies to deliver transformational solutions that empower the industry to achieve safer, more cost-effective pipeline management. Our commitment to research and development drives the creation of vital new methods and tools that address the evolving needs of our customers while setting new industry standards.

By strategically applying inspection technologies to detect, diagnose, and model various types of threats, NDT Global provides predictive, decision-ready insights. These insights, driven by the world's most accurate data, enable asset owners to optimize infrastructure health, drive operational efficiencies, reduce risk, and minimize their carbon footprint.
