Visual Inspection

More than a pair of eyes
You may be surprised to learn that Visual Inspectors need more than just a well-trained set of eyes.

In fact, Stork Visual Inspectors receive specialized training to employ a number of high-tech devices. From the Charge-Coupled Device (an advanced imaging and color chip system), to a joystick-driven 50-foot long steer probe for very tight access, to advanced computer programs that accurately measure defects, voids, pits, corrosion, and wear, and store this information on a variety of media—Visual Inspection is a fully 21st century skill.

Reliable and cost-effective
Visual Inspection is also one of the most cost-effective methods to assess ongoing equipment reliability, and is typically the first (and last) nondestructive testing method used. A skilled visual inspector significantly enhances quality control and quality assurance during the fabrication of new equipment, and prevents costly outages and accidents on working equipment by evaluating wear and internal degradation.

Stork Visual Inspectors add value to the following industries:
