Ashtead Technology has signed a five-year global collaboration agreement with Technical Software Consultants Limited (TSC), part of Eddyfi Technologies
The global subsea equipment specialist will combine its Alternating Current Field Measurement (ACFM®) instrument fleet with TSC’s rental fleet.
Ashtead will also manage all rental activity worldwide for the Amigo™ and U31™ subsea systems, as well as the latest PACE® instrument.
The technology is regarded as one of the most reliable methods of detecting and sizing surface-breaking cracks in metallic components and welds. It can be utilised topside and underwater, up to depths of 2,000m and can be deployed remotely.
Allan Pirie, chief executive of Ashtead said: “This is a significant agreement for Ashtead allowing us to expand our non destructive testing (NDT) service offering and broaden the availability of ACFM® across multiple markets.
“TSC has an outstanding reputation in quality assurance which is of the highest priority for our customers and we look forward to working closely with the Eddyfi team in the coming years as they develop this market leading technology further.”
