Course Overview
Dive into underwater NDT with Joshua de Monbrun, the chair of ASNT’s Underwater NDT Committee!
In this webinar, Josh reviews current methods and technologies used in underwater NDT of infrastructure, different paths to becoming an underwater inspector, specialized equipment to increase inspector safety, and the future of the industry. A surprising variety of industries need qualified inspectors who are also capable divers, and this need is expected to grow. There is a pressing and widespread need for underwater NDT inspectors in infrastructure, including numerous inland projects. Underwater inspections are used for dams, docks, bridges, wharfs, marinas, above-ground storage tanks, and water towers. As Josh discusses, the United States has a growing number of structures that require inspection in the coming years, and the current interest and investment in infrastructure makes this a good time for inspectors to pursue the opportunities of underwater NDT.
