Ultrasonic inline inspection (ILI) and integrity services provider NDT Global (Dublin, Ireland) recently merged with advanced nondestructive testing (NDT) company Eddyfi Technologies (Québec City, Québec, Canada).
The new combination of Eddyfi Technologies and NDT Global, known as Eddyfi/NDT and headquartered in Québec, is an innovative and private test and measurement (T&M) technology group focused on NDT solutions.
“Joining with Eddyfi Technologies offers tremendous opportunity to leverage our respective knowledge to develop even better solutions,” says Richard Matthews, president and CEO of NDT Global. “At NDT Global we want to continue our trend of being a technology disruptor whilst delivering new and never-seen-before solutions to our customers through out-of-the-box thinking, creativity, and collaboration. We believe Eddyfi Technologies will help us materialize this vision."
According to the companies, the merger successfully joins two leaders in their respective markets. Eddyfi Technologies offers expertise in NDT inspection technologies, while NDT Global is an advanced ultrasonic ILI and integrity services provider.
“We have spent the past 10 years developing, acquiring and perfecting the most advanced NDT modalities in the world,” says Martin Theriault, CEO of Eddyfi/NDT. “At every level of technology, pushing the limits of NDT to new heights has allowed us to solve critical problems and deliver superior, information-rich data for the benefits of our clients. But selling inspection instrumentation and technology alone in certain very niche and specialized sub-verticals, such as ILI inspection, simply doesn’t suffice. We are therefore excited to join forces with NDT Global and work with them and their clients to take ILI NDT to the next level.”
According to NDT officials, global pipeline operators have used their company’s services to accurately assess of the condition of pipeline assets. Coupled with the additional expertise of nondestructive testing techniques and technology by Eddyfi Technologies, the group aims deliver increased accuracy and enhanced information to assure the safe pipeline operations.
