Eddy Current Testing (ECT) Services in UAE | AIMMS Group NDT Experts

AIMMS Group provides certified Eddy Current Inspection (ECI/ECT) services across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, and India—helping maritime and offshore operators detect cracks, corrosion, and tube defects at an early stage to ensure successful class surveys and prevent costly downtime.

Our ASNT / PCN / ISO 9712 Level II & III inspectors, supported by IRATA-certified rope access technicians, deliver fast, non-intrusive inspections on vessels, offshore platforms, rigs, and barges—even in challenging and hard-to-access areas such as hull structures, heat exchangers, condenser tubes, and rig legs—without disrupting operations.

What Is Eddy Current Inspection (ECI)?

ECI is an advanced NDT method detecting:

• Surface cracks in welds & structural joints

• Subsurface flaws invisible to visual inspection

• Corrosion & pitting in hull plates & tubes

• Heat damage & metal fatigue in high-stress zones

• Wall thinning from erosion/wear

• Coating defects & disbandment

Works on ALL conductive materials – steel, aluminum, copper, titanium.​

 Frequently Asked Questions – ECI Services UAE

Q: Eddy Current Inspection (ECI) services UAE?
A: Yes, AIMMS Group provides certified Eddy Current Inspection (ECI) for ships, offshore rigs, and barges. Detects surface and subsurface cracks, corrosion, and coating defects on hulls, jack-up legs, and crane pedestals using ASNT / PCN / ISO-certified inspectors.

Q: Rope access ECI ship hull Dubai / Abu Dhabi?
A: IRATA-certified rope access ECI on hull plating, cargo holds, ballast tanks, and superstructures. No scaffolding required—ideal for class surveys and pre-docking inspections.

Q: PCN Level 2 ECI inspector UAE offshore?
A: ASNT / PCN / ISO Level II & III ECI technicians with IRATA rope access certification supporting ADNOC platforms, jack-up rigs, FPSOs, and marine barges across the UAE and Saudi Arabia.

Q: ECI crane pedestal inspection Jebel Ali?
A: Specialized ECI for crane booms and pedestals, detecting fatigue cracks and corrosion under coating on pedestal welds and slewing rings. Integrated with crane inspection services.

Q: ECI coating thickness hull UAE ships?
A: Non-destructive coating thickness measurement and defect detection through intact paint systems—ideal for pre-survey condition assessments without surface preparation.

Q: Offshore rig leg ECI jack-up UAE?
A: ECI on jack-up legs, spud cans, rack & pinion systems to detect corrosion and cracking in splash zones and high-fatigue areas, delivered via rope access.

Q: ECI heat exchanger tube testing UAE?
A: Detection of tube wall thinning and pitting in heat exchangers and condensers during shutdowns. Can be combined with tube cleaning services for integrity restoration.

Q: Class survey ECI ABS / DNV approval UAE?
A: ECI services approved by ABS, DNV, BV, and LR for renewal surveys and CAP inspections. Digital reports with mapping accepted by all classification societies.

Q: Emergency ECI 24hr UAE ports?
A: 24–48 hr emergency mobilization to Jebel Ali, Khor Fakkan, and Fujairah for urgent pre-departure surveys and defect assessments before sailing.

Q: ECI aluminum gangway inspection UAE?
A: Crack detection on conductive aluminum structures including gangways, ladders, and access platforms for PSVs and accommodation barges—where MPI is not suitable.

Q: ADNOC approved ECI contractor UAE?
A: AIMMS Group is ADNOC & ENAS approved for ECI on offshore platforms, rig surveys, and marine asset integrity assessments.

Q: ECI cargo hold frame inspection bulk carrier?
A: Double-bottom, side shell, and frame corrosion mapping through coating—critical for bulk carrier class renewal surveys and condition assessment.

Q: ECI vs MPI comparison offshore UAE?
A: ECI: works through coating, suitable for all conductive materials, faster for large areas.
MPI: requires surface preparation and is limited to ferromagnetic materials.
ECI is often 2× faster for offshore and marine assets.

Q: Derrick structure ECI rope access UAE?
A: ECI on derrick legs, cantilever beams, and crown blocks using rope access. Effective crack detection in high-fatigue zones during rig inspections.

Q: Free ECI inspection quote UAE ships?
A: Visit the AIMMS Contact Page or call +971 56 544 9317 / email inspection@aimmsgroup.com. Free quotations within 24 hours for rope access ECI across UAE marine and offshore assets.
