Step 1
Understanding the requirement
Inspection method, acceptance criteria, and documentation requirements are confirmed upfront, aligned to your specification.
Step 2
In-house inspection
Components are inspected on the same site with no external transfer, no break in traceability.
Step 3
Validation and delivery
Full documentation to your specification. No component leaves without a complete inspection record.
What changes when inspection’s done by one business.
NDT at HycAero sits within the same controlled site as processing.
Issues caught before dispatch, not after.
NDT integrated with processing means problems are found and resolved while they’re still quick and inexpensive to address.
No handling damage. No added lead time.
Keeping inspection in-house removes transfer risk. Components move from treatment to inspection as one uninterrupted operation.
Full traceability. No documentation gaps.
Everything’s documented in one place, exactly what customer audit requires.
Comprehensive inspection. One facility.
Flaw detection, magnetic particle, hardness, and conductivity inspection — without multiple suppliers.
What customers say.
Approvals earned over forty years of getting it right.
