Reimagining Asset Integrity – A Vision for the Future
NDE Solutions Special Services Group (SSG)Australia’s Leading Tank, Tube, and Advanced NDT Specialists
Imagine a future where industrial assets (tanks, pipes, and complex equipment) run reliably with minimal downtime or intrusive shutdowns. The Special Services Group (SSG) purpose is to help you focus on innovation, growth, and operational continuity instead of crisis management.
We are pioneering a new model for inspections across the energy, defence and other complex high-stakes industries by combining strategic foresight with proven technical excellence. This approach lets you address your toughest integrity challenges while keeping your assets safe, productive, and compliant.
Our difference: Unmatched Capability and Expertise
NDE Solutions’ SSG is a national leader in tank, tube, and advanced non-destructive testing (NDT) inspections. As a sovereign, Australian-owned firm, we bring you unmatched flexibility, responsiveness, and deep technical skill for even the most demanding asset integrity scenarios.
NDE Solutions maintains the largest pool of independently certified technicians and inspectors for specialized services, backed by the broadest range of specialist technical equipment.
This includes next generation MFL and SLOFEC tank floor scanners, IRIS tube testing units, and next-generation tools such as Eddyfi’s Spyne system (for rapid pipeline crack assessments) and Creaform 3D scanning (for highly accurate measurements). These technologies not only speed up inspections but also significantly boost Probability of Detection (PoD), giving you greater confidence while reducing time, risk, and uncertainty.
