Overview
Non-destructive testing (NDT) and inspection are crucial in the oil, gas and chemical industry because they help ensure the safety, reliability, and efficiency of equipment, pipelines, and structures used in exploration, production, transportation, and refining operations.
NDT techniques are used to detect defects, cracks, corrosion, and other types of damage in equipment and pipelines without damaging or disrupting an operation. This allows for the early detection and prevention of potential failures, which can cause accidents, downtime, and loss of production.
Inspection is also essential for ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements, industry standards, and best practices. Inspectors can check the quality of materials, welding, and construction, as well as monitor the condition of equipment and pipelines over time to identify potential issues and implement corrective actions.
By conducting regular NDT and inspections, the oil, gas, and chemical industries can minimise risks, extend the lifespan of their assets, and improve the overall performance and efficiency of their operations.

Our Oil, Gas and Chemical Inspection Services
Advanced Non-Destructive Testing (NDT)
We use advanced NDT technologies, including phased array ultrasonic testing (PAUT), time-of-flight diffraction (TOFD), and eddy current testing, to assess the integrity of complex and high-risk components. These methods allow accurate defect detection in pipelines, pressure systems, and refinery infrastructure without interruption to operations.
Pressure Vessel & Tank Inspection
Our certified inspectors perform pressure vessel and tank inspections to verify safety, compliance, and performance under operating conditions. We inspect storage tanks, separators, boilers, and process vessels to ensure structural integrity and adherence to Australian and international standards.
Non-Destructive Testing
We provide a full range of conventional NDT techniques, including ultrasonic testing, magnetic particle inspection, liquid penetrant testing, and radiographic inspection. These proven methods enable early detection of corrosion, cracking, and weld defects across a wide range of oil, gas, and chemical assets.
Shut Down Services
ARI offers comprehensive shut down inspection services to support scheduled maintenance, turnarounds, and plant upgrades. Our teams deliver rapid-response inspections, detailed reporting, and certification to help operations resume safely, efficiently, and on time.
Weld Inspection, Welder Qualification & Procedures
We specialise in weld inspection, welder qualification testing, and the development of weld procedures in line with AS/NZS and international codes. Our services help ensure the quality and compliance of fabrication, repair, and modification work within critical oil, gas, and chemical infrastructure.
