“By using the UIT process during a weld repair we have eliminated our unscheduled outages during the course of the year and only perform an annual inspection and repair, if required.”

In the North Seas, an offshore drilling rig takes a constant beating. Welds are exposed to enormous stresses coupled with the corrosive saltwater environment. Applied Ultrasonics helped Noble Drilling to extend fatigue life of their aging offshore assets, saving millions of dollars in equipment and downtime.

With systemic and repetitive cracking in the propel structure and other critical areas of their draglines, CF Industries of Wauchula, Florida was used to spending considerable time and money to weld repair cracks. After treatment with UIT, the company has experienced fewer cracks, fewer shutdowns, lower repair costs, and fewer headaches.
