What if you could fully understand the condition of a component, structure, or system without cutting, breaking, or shutting it down and reducing rework, delays, and costly surprises?

That’s the power of Non-Destructive Evaluation (NDE). At Braun Intertec, our NDE services help clients make earlier, smarter decisions, protect critical assets, and move projects forward with confidence. 

Whether you’re validating a new component, assessing an aging asset, or verifying construction quality, NDE gives you the insight you need before problems escalate.

A Specification-Driven NDE Program—Built to Reduce Risk 

Braun Intertec’s NDE program isn’t just about meeting standards. It is about reducing uncertainty. 

By aligning inspections with ASTM, AMS, NADCAP, and client-specific requirements, we deliver results that help you: 

• Avoid unnecessary repairs or replacements
• Catch defects earlier—when they’re easier and less expensive to fix
• Defend decisions with traceable, auditable data
• Maintain compliance without slowing schedules 

What This Means for You 

• Fewer surprises during fabrication, construction, or operation
• Lower lifecycle costs through early detection
• Greater confidence when approving parts, welds, or assemblies 

Pillars With Embedded Benefits 

At the core of our program are six foundational pillars. Each are designed to protect your project, schedule, and budget: 

• Certified Expertise – Reduces variability and inspection errors
• Specification-First Inspections – Prevents rework and failed audits
• Controlled Procedures – Ensures consistent results across locations
• Advanced Technology – Improves defect detection and decision quality
• Full Traceability & Reporting – Supports approvals, audits, and documentation
• Scalable Capacity – Keeps projects moving, even at peak demand 

These pillars allow Braun Intertec to deliver reliable answers, not just inspection reports.

Advanced NDE Laboratory: Answers Without Destruction 

When components fail, you need answers without compromising evidence or destroying value. 

Our advanced NDE laboratory provides non-destructive insight that helps you: 

• Confirm whether a part is fit for service
• Identify potential failure mechanisms early
• Support warranty claims, disputes, or root-cause analysis
• Validate design assumptions during R&D 

This means faster resolutions, better-informed decisions, and fewer costly unknowns. 

Field & Laboratory NDE: Insight Without Downtime 

Not every inspection can wait for lab conditions. 

By combining field-based NDE with accredited laboratory analysis, Braun Intertec helps clients: 

• Minimize shutdowns and operational disruptions
• Evaluate existing assets in place
• Maintain inspection quality—even in challenging environments 

The result: critical information, delivered where and when it’s needed. 

Industrial X-Ray, Digital Radiography & CT Scanning: See Inside—Without the Risk 

Internal defects are often the most costly and the hardest to detect. 

Our imaging technologies allow clients to: 

• Verify internal quality without cutting or sectioning parts
• Reduce scrap rates and production delays
• Make faster accept/reject decisions
• Confidently evaluate complex geometries and assemblies 

Computed Tomography (CT) goes a step further, providing full 3D insight that supports: 

• Design validation
• Dimensional verification
• Failure prevention in critical components 

The result: better decisions, fewer assumptions, and less risk. 

Ultrasonic & Surface Inspection: The Right Tool for the Job 

By selecting the most effective inspection method for your material and application, Braun Intertec helps you: 

• Detect defects before they affect performance
• Extend the service life of assets
• Avoid unnecessary repairs or shutdowns 

Our certified technicians apply: 

• PT to reveal surface-breaking flaws
• MT to detect near-surface fatigue damage
• UT to identify internal defects and thickness changes 

Used strategically, these methods help protect both performance and budget. 

Protecting Assets Over Their Entire Lifecycle 

Inspection shouldn’t stop at acceptance. 

Braun Intertec’s expanded services help clients: 

• Prevent corrosion-related failures
• Extend equipment life
• Meet regulatory and code requirements with confidence 

This proactive approach supports long-term reliability, not just short-term compliance. 

Confidence Without Compromise 

By integrating multiple NDE methods under one roof, Braun Intertec simplifies your inspection process with fewer vendors, faster answers, and consistent results. 

This post launches our NDE blog series. In the next installment, we’ll explore how the right NDE method is selected and why that choice can save time, money, and headaches down the line.
