Advanced NDE Services

As an extension of our traditional NDE services, we have an advanced NDE department to offer even more technical support and added value to our inspections. We are constantly researching new technology and developing this department to provide solutions for clients with specific challenges and requirements. Our ASNT NDT Level III personnel and Integrity Engineers oversee this department ensuring all newly added advanced inspection services are fully understood and key personnel are trained to competently operate equipment and evaluate captured data.

Drone Services

  • Aerial Photography
  • Infrared Thermography
  • 3D Mapping
  • Land and Structural Surveys

Drones, otherwise known as UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles), are revolutionizing the way inspections are done and are quickly being recognized as an accurate and safe solution to visual surveys for a variety of applications. In the Oil and Gas industry, drones offer an excellent method of pre-assessing structures and assets before deploying personnel making jobs safer, more efficient and ultimately more cost effective. TISL recognizes the great value in this service and has invested in the technology and training to perform these aerial inspections in-house as part of our mission to become a one-stop shop for all our client’s inspection needs.

Cathodic Protection

Cathodic Protection is an extremely important aspect of safeguarding assets from the detrimental affects of corrosion. Here in Trinidad, our corrosive atmosphere can wreak havoc on metallic structures that aren’t adequately protected. Therefore, it is highly recommended to consider an effective CP system and monitoring programme for an extended asset life cycle with less downtime for repairs and a safer working environment.
