Marine

Through our partnership with Marine Results, Wavelength NDT has worked with yacht and spar designers, manufacturers and race teams/owners. We routinely provide NDT inspection services for production, pre-service and in-service applications on racing yachts, super yachts and motor yachts.

NDT of  advanced marine structures requires a toolkit approach; with the operator selecting the best technique for a particular situation on a case by case basis.   We offer inspection techniques for a wide range of metallic and composite structures including:

• Full hull surveys (shearography, acoustic, ultrasonic).
• Yacht mast and boom inspection (acoustic, ultrasonic).
• Rudders and canards/daggerboards (acoustic, ultrasonic).
• Composite repairs (acoustic, ultrasonic).
• Carbon fibre and metallic rod rigging inspection (dye penetrant, ultrasonic).
• Keel inspection (ultrasound, dye penetrant).
• Steel hull corrosion mapping (ultrasound).
• Keel structural resonance testing (vibration analysis).

• Skin to core bonding.
• Porosity/void detection.
• Delamination and impact damage mapping.
• Bond inspection (e.g. joggle bond, reinforcements).
• Fibre waviness.
