Testing on Mock UpsOur inspection systems are tested on test pieces containing realistic defects and representing access.

Test pieces designed to provide validation of inspection system.

Ensures effective preparation before application on site.

Testing includes training on these test pieces.

Enabling young engineers to train in a safe environment.

e.g. Inspection systems for Atucha Argentina.
