Portfolio

Since it’s inception in 1976, Format NDT Limited have undertaken many major NDT (Non destructive testing) projects throughout the United Kingdom. Here is a quick selection of a few of those projects:

viaduct

Thelwall Viaduct

The Thelwall Viaduct is a critical component part of the M6 motorway network and as such major re-building and strengthening work has been carried out over many years. The prime contractor for this project required Non-destructive testing to be carried out on every weld made as part of the strengthening process. The method of NDT preferred by the contractor was Magnetic Particle Inspection, this was complemented by Eddy Current and Ultra Sonic inspections. 

Format NDT Limited was chosen for this project because of the companies all round capability in Non-Destructive Testing providing the NDE disciplines required by the contractors. 

As a result of the success of this project Format NDT Limited has been awarded the contract to carryout similar Non-Destructive Evaluation on a second major road viaduct.

pulrose

Pulrose Power Station

The Manx Electricity Authority commissioned the building new Combined Cycle Gas Power Station, at Pulrose near Douglas on the Isle of Man. Pulrose Power Station is a state of the art facility designed and built to blend into the local environment, with a large amount of work carried out within an environmentally sensitive area. 

Format NDT Limited were chosen by one of the Prime Contractors on this project to undertake Ultrasonic Examination, Magnetic/Penetrant Inspections and Gamma and X Radiography of gas supply and ancillary pipe work during both the manufacturing and installation stages. The company also carried out additional inspection throughout the duration of the project. This included visual inspections of welds along with the techniques described above.

ccgt

West Burton CCGT Power Station (EDF Energy)

Format NDT Ltd carried out comprehensive non-destructive testing on utilities pipework at the West Burton CCGT Power Station (EDF Energy) prior to encasement in concrete. Work commenced on site in January 2008 and formed a critical part of pre-construction quality assurance, identifying and rectifying any defects before permanent installation.

Our non-destructive testing and inspections ensured the integrity and longevity of the pipework, minimising the risk of later failures and costly remedial works, and providing full documentation for client records and regulatory compliance. The station was scheduled for commercial operation in 2011 with an expected life of 25 years and will generate enough electricity to meet the needs of around 1.5 million homes.
