Eddy Current Inspection UAE, Saudi Arabia & India | AIMMS

AIMMS Group delivers certified ECI testing services across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, and India—helping maritime and offshore operators identify critical defects early, pass classification surveys, and ensure continuous operational safety without costly downtime.

Our team consists of ASNT/PCN/ISO 9712 certified ECI inspectors with IRATA rope access certification, enabling fast, safe, and non-disruptive inspection even in hard-to-access marine and offshore locations.

Maintaining the safety and reliability of ships, offshore rigs, and marine barges is critical in the Gulf region and South Asia, where marine traffic, offshore drilling, and coastal industrial operations continue to expand rapidly. Hidden cracks, corrosion, coating failure, and metal fatigue can lead to dangerous failures, survey rejection, or costly downtime.

What Is Eddy Current Inspection (ECI)?

Eddy Current Inspection (ECI) is a highly sensitive non-destructive testing (NDT) method used to detect:

• Surface cracks in welds and structural connections

• Sub-surface flaws invisible to visual inspection

• Corrosion & pitting in hull plates and marine structures

• Heat damage & metal fatigue in high-stress areas

• Material thinning from erosion or wear

• Coating thickness variations and disbandment

Because it works on all conductive materials, ECI is widely used for ships, oil & gas rigs, barges, vessel structures, pressure systems, pipelines, heat exchangers, and marine aluminum components.

Why AIMMS Group Is the Preferred ECI Provider in UAE, Saudi Arabia & India

✅ Rope Access–Enabled ECI for Ships, Rigs & Barges

Our IRATA-certified rope access teams perform ECI safely and efficiently on:

• Hull structures & shell plating

• Cargo holds & storage tanks

• Ballast tanks & void spaces

• Offshore rig legs & jack-up structures

• Jack-up cantilever areas & drilling equipment

• Barge decks & pontoons

• High-level walkways & aluminum gangways

• Confined spaces & difficult-to-reach zones

No scaffolding, no shutdowns—reducing cost and speeding up project completion while maintaining full operational safety.

✅ Classification Society Approved Inspections

• ABS (American Bureau of Shipping)

• DNV (Det Norske Veritas)

• Lloyd's Register

• Bureau Veritas

• IRS (Indian Register of Shipping)

Perfect for class renewal, pre-docking surveys, and annual statutory surveys for ships, offshore rigs & barges.

✅ Digital, Accurate & Survey-Ready Reporting

We provide high-precision digital inspection reports with:

• Detailed defect mapping with GPS coordinates

• Accurate thickness readings and trend analysis

• Crack location, length & severity assessment

• Photographic evidence and documentation

• Clear repair recommendations prioritized by criticality

• Class society–compliant formatting

Helping shipowners, rig operators, and barge managers make informed maintenance decisions quickly and pass surveys on the first attempt.

Why ECI Is Essential for Marine & Offshore Assets

Ships, rigs, and barges face extreme operational conditions:

• Constant seawater exposure causes aggressive corrosion

• High vibration and mechanical stress from machinery

• Corrosion & plating wastage in splash zones

• Temperature variation (engine rooms, cargo areas)

• Cyclic loading causing fatigue cracks in welds

• Impact damage from cargo operations

Early Detection with ECI Prevents:

❌ Catastrophic structural failure
❌ Survey rejection and detention
❌ Expensive emergency drydock repairs
❌ Unexpected operational downtime
❌ Safety incidents and casualties
❌ Insurance claims and litigation

AIMMS Group ensures your asset stays safe, compliant, and operational—protecting your investment and crew.
