Training will be an important function at the centre for both GE Sensing and GE Inspection Technologies. Typical non-destructive testing courses will cover the use of GE's ultrasonic, remote visual inspection, radiography and eddy current equipment. In addition, the centre will provide a base for GE's qualified field services personnel and will have the capability to carry-out basic repairs to simple NDT equipment, such as flaw detectors.
Brian Hempenstall, Regional Service Manager for GE Sensing, explains,
"The Gulf is one of the most important oil and petrochemical regions in the world. This is an industrial sector that relies very heavily on sensing instrumentation for pressure, temperature moisture, gas and flow. It is also an industrial sector where non-destructive testing is critical to safe asset management and to maintaining production outputs. GE Sensing and GE Inspection Technologies are the only businesses in the world that are resourced and focused to provide solutions in both these areas of technology. The creation of our new calibration, training and repair facility will ensure that we can now move even closer to our Gulf customers to ensure that they receive the very best, both in terms of equipment and service."
