Inspection Programs, Not Just Test Results
API compliance, weld acceptance and asset condition — the judgment layer on top of the testing.
Inspection Services in Edmonton & Across Alberta
Testing methods answer 'what does the data say.' Inspection services answer the question your regulator, engineer and insurer actually ask: 'is this asset compliant and fit for service?' CIC delivers both from one independent company — the certified judgment layer on this page, powered by the NDT methods on our services page. Start with the obligation or asset in front of you.
Compliance & Code Inspection
API 510 Pressure Vessel Inspection In-service vessel inspection — internals, externals, on-stream thickness programs, corrosion rates and next-interval recommendations that keep owner-user programs defensible.
API 570 Piping Inspection
Circuit-based piping programs: CML monitoring, deadleg and injection-point coverage, and the corrosion-rate math behind every retirement date.
API 653 Storage Tank Inspection
Aboveground storage tanks from routine externals to out-of-service internals — floor condition, settlement and shell data that settles the next interval.
Welding Inspection (CWB)
Third-party weld acceptance to CSA W59 and pressure codes by CWB certified inspectors — in-process surveillance through final inspection, with NDT escalation in the same visit.
Asset & Application Inspection
Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI)
Risk-ranked hunting for the corrosion your insulation is hiding — screening NDT, targeted stripping and circuit-mapped condition data.
Heavy Equipment NDT
Fatigue-crack detection on cranes, booms, lifting gear and mining machines — scheduled cycles, post-event checks and repair verification.
Railway NDT
Rail flaw detection, thermite weld examination and wheel/axle testing for industrial trackage and rolling stock.
Shutdowns & Turnarounds
Planned inspection scopes, full-method crews and night coverage — findings fast enough to make repair decisions inside the window, refractory included.
One Company Under Both Hats
Most inspection firms subcontract their NDT; most NDT firms stop at the data. CIC carries both: the API and CWB certified inspectors who make the call, and the in-house RT, UT, PAUT and surface-method crews who generate the evidence. One mobilization, one report, one accountable signature — and an independent one, because we don't fabricate or repair anything we inspect.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between NDT services and inspection services?
NDT services are the testing methods — ultrasonics, radiography, magnetic particle — that generate data about a material or weld. Inspection services apply certified judgment to that data against a code or standard: API intervals, CWB weld acceptance, fitness-for-service. CIC provides both, which is why the finding and the evidence arrive in one report.
What does third-party inspection mean?
Third-party inspection is performed by a company independent of both the owner and the fabricator or contractor — no stake in schedule or repair revenue. That independence is what makes the disposition credible to engineers, regulators and insurers when the parties disagree.
Can you take over an existing inspection program?
Yes — existing CML networks, vessel histories and inspection records transfer in; we work from your program documents and keep the data continuous.
