Vane Partners NDT team have considerable expertise in NDT, equipment and component testing to support a network of industries; including construction, oil and gas, marine and structural steel sectors. Our highly qualified and experienced personnel ensure that we work to the highest attainable standards.

Our NDT services include

• Ultrasonic inspection is a non-destructive test method that uses sound waves to detect cracks, weld grooves, fractures and defects in parts and materials. Electronic transducers transmit high-frequency sound waves to a material, these sound waves bounce back crystal-clear images, which reveal key characteristics about a materials properties.
• Magnetic particle inspection(MPI) is a non-destructive testing (NDT) method used to check for surface and sub-surface discontinuities and defects. This method is used to test welds, castings, and forgings for defects; however, it can only be used on ferromagnetic metals, such as iron, nickel or cobalt and some of their alloys.
• Liquid penetrant inspection is a widely applied inspection method used to locate surface-breaking defects in all non-porous materials (metals, plastics, or ceramics). The penetrant may be applied to all non-ferrous materials and ferrous materials, although for ferrous components magnetic-particle inspection is often used instead for its subsurface detection capability.
• Eddy current techniques are commonly used for the non-destructive (NDT) examination to detect surface and near surface defects of a large variety of metallic structures, including heat exchanger tubes, aircraft fuselage, and aircraft structural components.
• Visual inspection is a surface inspection technique that is typically the first step of the examination process. Visual inspection can be used to inspect a variety of product forms including castings, forgings, machined components and weldments.
• Radiographic Testing (RT); this kind of NDT uses either x-rays or gamma rays to examine the internal structure of manufactured components identifying any flaws or defects.

In Radiography Testing the test-part is placed between the radiation source and film (or detector). The material density and thickness differences of the test-part will attenuate (i.e. reduce) the penetrating radiation through interaction processes involving scattering and/or absorption. The differences in absorption are then recorded on film(s) or through an electronic means. In industrial radiography there are several imaging methods available, techniques to display the final image, i.e. Film Radiography, Real Time Radiography (RTR), Computed Tomography (CT), Digital Radiography (DR), and Computed Radiography (CR).

There are two different radioactive sources available for industrial use; X-ray and Gamma-ray. These radiation sources use higher energy level, i.e. shorter wavelength, versions of the electromagnetic waves. Because of the radioactivity involved in radiography testing, it is of paramount importance to ensure that the Local Rules is strictly adhered during operation.

With our rope access service, we do installation, drop objects, bolting, maintenance and painting at height. Our Rope Access Technician (L111, L11 & L 1) use ropes and associated equipment to gain access to and from the work position, and to be supported there.

The advantage of using rope access methods mainly lies in the safety and speed with which workers can get to or from difficult locations in order to carry out their work, often with minimal impact on other operations, surrounding areas and the environment. Another major benefit is the reduction of the combination of the total man-hours and perceived level of risk for a particular task (man-at-risk hours) when compared with other means of access and their associated risks and costs.

The primary objective when using rope access methods is to carry out the work efficiently, with minimal accidents, incidents or dangerous occurrences. In order to ensure a safe system of work is maintained at all times, whilst avoiding damage to property or harm to the environment, careful planning and documented risk assessments are undertaken for each operation.

Our ultra/high-pressure water jetting services can help you get rid of the grease, mud, sludge, sand, cement and debris from your drill pipes, casings, tubings, process or production lines or drain line. With our ultra-high pressure water jetting service, we can also remove silicon insulations from your subsea and production equipment like risers. We also do internal coating of your pipes after water jetting to avoid oxidation.

We offer full-service pressure relief and safety valve repair for air, steam, and liquid service, both in the shop and in the field. We use only original parts and guarantee to return your valve to like-new or better condition,

so you have total assurance that your valves will work properly. Either at your site or offsite, our highly experienced technicians and engineers are readily available to solve any problem affecting our valves and pumps.

Anyone can sell you a new valve, but it takes a service organization to tell you when new isn't necessary.
We operate 6 days in a week and 9 hours a day and so your valves do not need to stay long in our facility.

With Vane Partners Ltd, you stand to enjoy the following benefits:

• Save up to 50% on valve and pump repair - Repairing a valve or pump to like-new condition costs roughly half of purchasing a new one.
• Enjoy 3 to 6 months guarantee - we offer a 3 or 6 months guarantee on all valve and pump repair services depending on the age of the equipment.
• We buy only the parts you need. With our-PRO valve diagnostic tool, we can determine exactly what the problem is and sell you only the parts you need, not a recommended spares list.

Our team of scaffolding technicians are not only highly skilled and meticulous, but also professional in their conduct at all times. We believe in giving each and every customer the very highest levels of safety, workmanship and customer care whilst keeping our rates amongst the most competitive in the industry. At VPL, we pride ourselves on providing dependable scaffolding systems that are manufactured using heavy-duty materials to meet the industry's high safety standards. We provide scaffolding rentals or scaffold erection services to a number of different industries including power plants, refineries, petroleum chemicals, and manufacturing. Our scaffold rental services are flexible: we can deliver all the necessary materials to your job site and you can assemble the scaffolding; or we can deliver, assemble, and dismantle the scaffolding for you. Our scaffolding services can also be combined with any of our other services such as blasting, painting, calibration of valves and gages in order to minimize your contract management requirements. We carry thousands of tons of cup-lock scaffolding that are constructed in all different styles including.

• Hanging scaffoldsproperties.
• Internal boiler scaffolds
• External boiler scaffolds
• Pre-engineered systems for large or complex projects

VPL specializes in design, supply, installation, and maintenance of different fire alarm system that would give maximum protection to your facilities and assets in accordance with UL and EN standards such as NFPA72. This stems from our competence in choosing appropriate control panels, smoke detectors, heat detectors, point gas detectors, open path gas detectors and linear heat detectors or aspiratory systems for reliable and instantaneous detection of fire and gas incidents and for quick notification to occupants as necessary. We calibrate all types of gas detectors and portable gas monitors, as well as maintain these critical devices as required. Our fire and gas design extend to cause and effect matrix development and detector mapping.

Major design deliverables include, but not limited to, the following:

• Detectors Layout Plan
