NDT INSPECTIONS
MOBILE ELEVATED WORK PLATFORMS
At Three Leaf NDT, we specialize in ensuring the safety and longevity of MEWPs like scissor lifts, boom lifts, man lifts, telehandlers, and deicing truck buckets.
Our services include NDT inspection and testing with certified NDT inspectors, using magnetic particle inspection to detect surface cracks in welds and structural components, ultrasonic testing (straight beam for thickness gauging and angle beam for weld flaws), and liquid penetrant methods to reveal fine surface defects, all tailored to meet WorkSafeBC annual certification requirements.
Based out of Comox, BC, we ensure rapid response and ease of use.
FABRICATION/MAINTENANCE
For fabrication shops crafting pressure vessels, pipelines, and structural steel, Three Leaf NDT provides essential NDT inspection and testing, employing flaw detection during production.
We apply eddy current testing for conductivity assessments and multi-layer inspections in conductive materials, complemented by ultrasonic angle beam scans to identify internal weld discontinuities and magnetic particle checks for ferromagnetic parts, ensuring fabricated components meet rigorous quality standards.
AVIATION
In the aviation sector, where precision is paramount for aircraft fuselages, turbine blades, and engine components, our NDT inspection and testing expertise shines.
Three Leaf NDT certified NDT inspectors utilize high-sensitivity fluorescent liquid penetrant for detecting minute surface cracks, eddy current bolt hole inspections to uncover hidden flaws in fastener areas, and ultrasonic straight beam evaluations for material thickness and laminar defects, supporting safe and reliable flight operations.
MARINE AND SHIPBUILDING
Three Leaf NDT supports Vancouver Island's marine industry through NDT inspection and testing hulls, welds, and port equipment in shipyards and ferries.
Our approach features magnetic particle testing for surface discontinuities in steel structures, ultrasonic angle beam methods to probe weld integrity below the surface, and eddy current scans for corrosion in multi-layer assemblies, helping maintain vessel durability against harsh oceanic conditions.
FORESTRY, LOGGING, PULP AND PAPER
For forestry operations involving sawmills, logging machinery, and heavy equipment, we deliver targeted NDT to prevent downtime.
Liquid penetrant inspection (visible dye for general applications) identifies surface porosity in castings and forgings, while ultrasonic straight beam testing measures component thickness for wear assessment, and magnetic particle methods reveal cracks in ferromagnetic tools, promoting efficient and safe resource extraction.
MINING AND QUARRYING
In mining and quarrying sites handling aggregate extraction and equipment like crushers and conveyors, Three Leaf NDT ensures operational integrity.
We employ eddy current conductivity assessments for alloy verification in tools, ultrasonic angle beam for detecting inclusions in structural steel, and fluorescent liquid penetrant to highlight fine flaws in high-stress parts, aiding in the prevention of costly failures underground or in open pits.
ENERGY AND UTILITIES
Supporting energy infrastructure such as hydroelectric dams, wind turbines, and pipelines, our services focus on long-term reliability.
Magnetic particle inspection detects near-surface defects in turbine components, eddy current multi-layer evaluations uncover corrosion in conductive piping, and ultrasonic straight beam gauging monitors erosion in critical utilities, aligning with the sector's demand for uninterrupted power supply.
CONSTRUCTION AND INFRASTRUCTURE
For construction projects involving bridges, buildings, and railways, Three Leaf NDT provides comprehensive inspections to uphold structural safety.
We use visible liquid penetrant for routine weld checks on steel frameworks, ultrasonic angle beam to locate subsurface cracks in beams, and magnetic particle testing for ferromagnetic reinforcements, ensuring compliance and durability in Vancouver Island's growing infrastructure.
