All services will comply with national rules and regulations, client specific requirements and manufacture recommendations as most regulatory framework like; NORSOK, LOLER, CAPP, NR12, API, ILO 152 and Class rules (DNV, ABS, Lloyds)
Rope Access Inspection
Rope access inspection is typically used as an alternative to traditional access solutions such as scaffolding, MEWPs, etc. In industry, rope access NDT is invaluable in situations where traditional access solutions are not viable and widely deployed on structure, such as for bland repairs on wind turbines or inspections on oil and gas assets.
RCL employs rope access skilled NDT-technicians to work closely with our clients to reach suitable, safe and effective access solutions.
RCL provides rope access NDT to our clients with a safe, cost-effective service, completing projects to the highest of standards.
Welding Inspection
Weld inspections are conducted for several reasons, the most common of which is to determine whether the weld is of suitable quality for its intended application. Codes and standards developed specifically for a variety of welding fabrication applications are used during welding inspections to dictate what levels of weld discontinuities are acceptable.
By utilizing our certified welding inspectors, RCL performs welding inspection before, during and after welding according to applicable requirements and specifications. Our experience from a variety of sectors have provided us with knowledge that is appraised by our clients.
Coating Inspection
RCL supplies third-party inspectors, or QA/QC inspectors, who work directly for the asset owner, or general contractor, and corroborates the findings and measurements of the coating application company. This position acts as a vital check to ensure that no corners are cut and that all aspects of the project are followed to specifications. Not only should this help extend the life of the asset, but it should also help prevent expensive and potentially dangerous consequences from a premature coating’s failure.
For more than a decade we have worked with a variety of surface treatment, coating and insulation systems on pipelines, on- and offshore structures, and piping. We possess in-house resources and equipment available to take on a large variety of testing and inspection works. From developing tailored inspection and test plans (ITP/TIP) to inspection execution, our expertise contributes to ensuring your suppliers’ compliance with standards and specifications.
Coating inspection methods:
- Visual assessment
- Surface assessment (ASME, ANSI, ISO, SSPC, NACE, NORSOK)
- Surface profile (Comparator, testex, digital)
- Surface contamination (dust, chloride, nitrate, sulphate)
- Climatic conditions
- Coating thickness measurements (Wet film, dry film)
- Adhesion testing (Pull-off, cross-hatch)
- Holiday detection (Wet, dry)
- Additional site or client specific technical requirements as agreed
Corrosion Inspection / Monitoring
Your industrial equipment, installations and plants are subject to high rates of corrosion due to harsh operating and environmental conditions and corrosive chemicals. Corrosion can lead to structural failure or loss of containment, costly repairs, lost or contaminated products, environmental damage, risk to personnel, and loss of public confidence. Our corrosion monitoring services continuously focus on your critical equipment, avoiding catastrophic failure and maintaining safe and reliable operation.
We offer you worldwide coverage, multidisciplinary expertise and highly qualified staff with extensive experience. Our corrosion monitoring services include:
- Customized Corrosion Management Strategy (CMS)
- Corrosion inspection and monitoring
- Corrosion risk assessment and management
- Data analysis
- Finite element analysis
- Fitness for service assessment
- Gap fill services
- Inspection and maintenance program for potentially vulnerable items

Welders Qualification
Qualified welders and operators are essential for high-quality welds. Our experts provide you with all important welder qualification tests and help you to combine different certifications in one step. On behalf of DNV GL we perform examination of welders and brazers as well as two- and three-year renewals according to:
- AWS (American Welding Society)
- ISO 9606 (Manual welding)
- ISO 14732 (Operators)
- ISO 13585 (Brazers)
Positive Material Identification PMI
Ensure Your Material Conforms to the Proper Specifications
Positive material identification (PMI) is an essential non-destructive testing (NDT) method utilized to verify that supplied materials conform to the proper standards and specifications. As a result, assurance can be gained that the chemical makeup of the metallic parts has the correct percentage of key elements.
RCL offers PMI testing services through experienced, trained personnel who can assure quality of service. The material scan and testing services can be performed on-site before the pieces go into the production process. PMI can be utilized on a variety of part sizes – from large complex parts to things as small as the weld fill material on the pieces.
