This service is utilized by metal boat owners to have a thorough inspection of the metal hull for areas reduced by corrosion. We also measure to ensure build specification compliance, and repair yard compliance.
Often corrosion in metal hulls begin from the inside, in inaccessible areas, behind tanks or machinery. Ultrasonic hull inspection allows our surveyor to better find these pockets of hidden corrosion from the outside of the hull. It takes a very experiences surveyor to know where to measure and interpret the results to locate defects, we have done hundreds of boats and small ships, from steel sailboats to military vessels in the United States.
We use an Elcometer state of the art Material Thickness Gauge with Pulse-Echo and Echo-Echo modes, allowing us to accurately measure metal thickness with no coating removal.
