Eddy Current Inspection (ECI) Services for Ships, Rigs & Barges in UAE, Saudi Arabia & India | AIMMS Group

AIMMS Group provides certified Eddy Current Inspection (ECI) for ships, offshore rigs, and barges across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, and India, helping clients identify defects early and ensure continuous operational safety.

Our team consists of ASNT/PCN / ISO 9712 certified ECI inspectors with IRATA rope access, 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 is a highly sensitive non-destructive testing (NDT) method used to detect:

• Surface cracks

• Sub-surface flaws

• Corrosion & pitting

• Heat damage & metal fatigue

• Material thinning

• Coating thickness variations

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.
