Services to the Nuclear Industry
At Sonomatic we pride ourselves on delivering the right solution, safely. We bring a unique combination of screening and inspection tools to help solve your inspection and integrity problems.
Difficult to reach locations and challenging conditions need innovative solutions that are guaranteed to work first time. We achieve this with a diverse, in-house team which bring together the disciplines of mechanical design, electrical design, software, inspection and data analysis. All of our inspection engineers are suitably qualified and experienced personnel (SQEP).
By combining screening techniques with immediate inspection of areas of concern, we are able to intelligently reduce inspection times and focus on getting detailed information from the areas of plant which need attention. Accurate data enables informed decisions on continued service or replacement.
Training of our staff is a continuous process. Accurate records are maintained of competencies and experience. Nuclear safety is at the heart of what we do.
We work either directly for the client or as a project team subcontractor. Sonomatic endeavours to overcome project challenges and find solutions that work. Project risks are closely managed and good communication maintained throughout. Costs are monitored so surprises are avoided.
