We’re committed to providing exceptional service.
Our backend & dynamic technical staffs are well qualified in various types of Hull Surveys as well as Condition Surveys and Technical Services i.e. NDT (Ultrasonic Gauging) & Dry-Dock Steel Superintendence for various types of Vessels, on a round-the-clock basis to satisfy the worldwide ship Owners or Classification Societies on an immediate Requisite. They have more than 15 years of individual experience and are well qualified to worldwide Classification standards.
We have dynamic & professional onsite and offsite teams to manage the Projects in any condition.
Our Technical Teams are fully experts and have a responsive attitude on allotted issues, and they all are working on a round-the-clock basis, as well as they all are prepared to attend the allotted issues on Top Priority basis. At the same time, they are monitoring the cutoff time without compromising on quality and standards. Also maintaining effective co-ordination with the client's technical team and end-users.
Prior Docking Survey, sail on vessels and prepare dry dock specifications pertaining to steel renewal quantity at each location of the vessel, including the Identification of substantial wastages.
We are providing Digital Photographic Support to demonstrate the condition of various Structures to the Vessels owners and Classification Societies.
We keep an eagle eye on steel repairs during dry dock / surveys and provide an immediate Steel Estimation Report on a daily basis.
Assist ship Owners and Managers to conclude the final negotiation of work done reports by providing exact details of steel renewal quantities at all locations.
SSKE Management Team as well as the Supervisors are having enormous experience on all the latest versions of Classification Societies Reporting Formats, and they provide professional training to our backend Technical Team who are the specialists to serve their proficiency services to our Clients as well as Classification Societies.
At the time of Survey, our Technical Team will carry rough drawings, original ship drawings, classification rules, pocket diminution chart, UT Machine, and all the other required documents as well as tools to carry out various surveys. Initially, they will mark all the defects on the rough drawings after that they will prepare the final report in class formats.
SSKE can provide a wide range of their services with the aid of Rope Access services to minimize costs associated with both time-consuming and expensive scaffold systems. It has been shown throughout the last number of years that this activity is an extremely safe method for execution of numerous applications at elevated locations and those that have restricted access. SSKE utilizes Rope Access trained NDT technicians for Structural Inspection and Survey work. Rope Access is a safe, efficient, and time-saving method derived from recreational climbing and caving but modified to utilize a twin rope system for enhanced safety in industrial use. This makes it the access method of choice for our industry, thus eliminating the need for costly and time-consuming scaffolding. With our own team of IRATA qualified rope access personnel, SSKE has the capability to expand any of its broad range of services to areas that remain difficult to access by standard methods.
Non-Destructive Testing (NDT), also known as non-destructive examination (NDE), refers to any testing or inspection method that does not permanently damage or destroy the equipment or material being tested. This is opposed to destructive testing, in which the part being tested is rendered inoperable, or destroyed, during the testing process. NDT is an incredibly common and important practice in many industries, including oil & gas, marine, aerospace, and manufacturing. NDT is frequently used to find discontinuities, flaws, or corrosion in materials. NDT is comprised of a number of different testing methods, most of which rely on either sound or electromagnetic waves to examine materials. SSKE offers a wide array of NDT applications for turnaround and on-stream inspection activities.
Penetrant Testing (PT) – also known as dye penetrant testing – is based on the properties of surface wetting and capillary action, which causes a liquid to rise when confined to a small opening. After applying the penetrant and wiping away the excess, the penetrant that rises to the surface can indicate surface-breaking anomalies. SSKE’s PT services are widely applicable to identify discontinuities in a variety of assets given its ease of use and minimal equipment requirements.
Ultrasonic Shear wave testing, also known as angle beam inspection, is an ultrasonic testing technique used primarily for weld inspections. Awkward weld geometry and the presence of a weld crown or bead typically require shear wave testing, which entails placing a probe to the side of a weld and generating beams at an angle toward the weld.
Ultrasonic Thickness Gauging (UTG) is a performing non-destructive method analysis of the local thickness of solid material and is based on the time taken by the ultrasound wave to return to the surface. UTG is frequently used to monitor metal thickness or weld quality in industrial settings such as mining. SSKE’s technicians are equipped with portable UTM probes to reach steel plating insides, tanks, decks, and the superstructure. They can read its thickness by simply touching the steel with the measurement head (transducer). Accuracy is generally assured by first removing visible corrosion scale.
Eddy-current testing uses electromagnetic induction to detect flaws in conductive materials. It can detect very small cracks in or near the surface of the material. Parts capable of inducing current are put in contact or near a probe that emits electromagnetic currents through the part. The probe also looks for changes in how the current travels through the part. It picks up the changes and shows the irregular flow. This process can detect slight changes in the piece being inspected. The changes may be due to hardness difference, changes in material, or a void or crack in the part. The material surface needs minimal preparation, and physically complex geometries can be investigated. It is also useful for making electrical conductivity and coating thickness measurements.
