Sky Testing Services

SERVICES

Sky Testing offers a full suite of inspection, nondestructive testing, and QA/QC services. Sky Testing is a NYC Department of Buildings (DOB) approved Special Inspection Company as well as an NYC DOB approved agency to qualify steam and gas pipe welders. All services offered can be performed in-house or on site.

Our broad experience includes the following disciplines:

RADIOGRAPHIC TESTING

Radiographic testing, also known as RT or x-ray examination, is suitable for the discovery of internal defects in ferrous or non-ferrous metals.

ULTRASONIC TESTING

Ultrasonic testing or UT can be used to detect surface or internal flaws in any materials that can conduct sound. UT can also be used to ascertain a material's thickness.

We offer UT inspections using straight beam, shear wave, flow accelerated corrosion (FAC), and phased array methods.

EDDY CURRENT TESTING

Eddy current testing is designed to identify surface or subsurface flaws in any electronically conductive material.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT

Our experienced personnel are equipped to develop and administrate QA/QC programs or to perform construction management over the complete scope of our clients' projects.

ADVANCED DIGITAL ULTRASONICS

We utilize the most current and up to date hardware available on the market today. With advances in computing technology and faster processing power of the software involved, the phased array ultrasonic equipment we utilize is safer, more accurate, and user friendly.

VISUAL TESTING/WELDING INSPECTION

Visual testing is performed by AWS Certified Welding Inspectors (CWIs) or ASNT Level II technicians. Our welding inspectors can perform progress inspections, final visual inspections, weld mapping, welder qualifications and more.

MAGNETIC PARTICLE TESTING

Magnetic particle testing or MT is designed to identify and highlight flaws on or near the surface of ferrous materials.

We can perform MT inspections using the yolk or bench methods.

PENETRANT TESTING

Penetrant testing or PT works to identify surface discontinuities in non-ferrous materials.

MATERIAL MANAGEMENT

We have personnel experienced in material expediting and receiving, receipt inspection, and on site material management.

GROUND PENETRATING RADAR

This geophysical method uses radar pulses to image the subsurface. Our personnel are trained in this nondestructive method using electromagnetic radiation in order to detect the reflected signals from subsurface objects, changes in material properties, and voids and cracks.

OUTAGE & MAINTENANCE SERVICES

Our experienced personnel will work with you to create an integrated plan, including processes, outage planning meetings, resources, parts, and repairs. We understand the urgency associated with any outage and maintenance. Time is money, trust our professionals.
