Marine
A large portion of the global population lives along coastlines, where water plays a vital role in transportation, food supply, and recreation. Marine infrastructure is essential to support these activities.
However, structures located in marine environments are exposed to aggressive conditions that can significantly affect durability over time.
Saltwater exposure, tidal action, and constant moisture create challenging conditions for concrete and steel structures. Understanding how these factors impact marine infrastructure is critical when planning inspection, maintenance, and rehabilitation activities.
NDT Corporation provides testing and evaluation services for marine structures, supplying data that supports owners and engineering teams working in these demanding environments.
Our Expertise in Assessing Marine Structures
NDT Corporation has experience performing non-destructive and minimally invasive testing on a wide range of marine infrastructure, including bulkhead walls, piles, wharves, waterfront structures, and other concrete and steel elements exposed to marine conditions.
Our services focus on collecting accurate, objective data to document existing conditions, material performance, and subsurface characteristics. This information is used by owners and engineers to better understand marine structures and support durability-related planning, maintenance programs, and rehabilitation designs carried out by others.
Testing data collected by NDT Corporation is commonly used by project teams to support work related to:
Condition evaluation of marine concrete and steel structures
Non-destructive testing and subsurface investigations
Documentation of unknown or as-built conditions, such as pile embedment depth
NDT testing is frequently applied in marine environments to reduce uncertainty related to hidden conditions and to support planning activities where access, exposure, or operational constraints are present.
IE/PV testing of a steel sheet-pile bulkhead to determine the embedment lengths of the piles and the remaining thickness of the steel piles.
Pile testing pile support.
