Sonomatic Limited

Sonomatic is a worldwide organisation whose expertise in ultrasonic inspection design, development and application, dates back more than 30 years to our roots in the nuclear sector. Today the company has widened its focus and provides proven yet pioneering services to customers in defence and power generation, but our largest client base is in the challenging oil and gas industry, both upstream and downstream. Sonomatic's capabilities for the development of software, equipment, scanners and bespoke developments, such as inspection techniques for Hot Tap, coupled with the expertise of our engineers, means we are among the leaders within this highly specialised field. Integration of the engineering and inspection services for non-intrusive inspection (NII) benefits the client by allowing vessels and equipment suitable for NII to be identified and reduces the need for costly plant shut downs to assess the internal condition. Sonomatic have expanded our Advanced Inspection services with Conventional NDT Inspection and Testing services. Sonomatic brings together a team of highly skilled technicians, inspectors, engineers and Rope Access NDT Inspectors, allowing us to offer our clients the highest quality inspections and provide the best support available today.     In addition to the conventional NDT methods of Radiography, Hydro-testing and Heat treatment, Sonomatic also offers alternative inspection methods that include long range and/or remote inspection methods. Our equipment is unique and designed and built by Sonomatic's dedicated team of engineers and offers solutions that are bespoke to our clients changing needs.
