Welding is a highly specialized discipline that requires expertise, skill, and training. While it is an integral part of many construction and fabrication processes, weld errors can cause severe damage to materials, resulting in loss of strength and durability, or even structural failures. Our weld testing services help ensure your products and processes are fit for purpose.
Element combines non-destructive testing (NDT), destructive testing, procedure qualifications, and safety reviews to ensure that your welds and welding processes are safe, efficient, and reliable.
Our team of experts includes Certified Welding Inspectors (CWI), Certified Welding Engineers (CWEng), and industry-dedicated technical staff to assist with projects across sectors and applications.
