SGS Enhances Non-Destructive Testing Capabilities in Azerbaijan with Advanced Training Sessions

May 30, 2025

We are pleased to announce that our Industrial Services team in Azerbaijan has completed a series of advanced training sessions focused on both Conventional and Advanced Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) as part of our ongoing commitment to quality.

The NDT services provided by SGS play a crucial role in ensuring the quality, safety and risk mitigation for clients across various industries. With the completion of these training sessions, the team has further strengthened their capabilities in delivering high-quality NDT services to industrial asset owners in Azerbaijan.

The training programme covered a broad technical scope, including:

  • Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT): Corrosion mapping, weld inspection, flange face and bolt inspection
  • Time of Flight Diffraction (TOFD)
  • Conventional techniques: UT, MT, PT, ECI, RT
  • Field application and safety best practices

Combining rigorous theoretical instruction with hands-on practical sessions, the programme was built around real-world scenarios using advanced equipment, ensuring practical relevance, precision and immediate impact.

This initiative reflects SGS in Azerbaijan’s ability to cultivate world-class technical competence locally, fully aligned with international standards and the evolving expectations of our clients. It further enhances our operational readiness and reinforces our position as a trusted partner in complex inspection environments.

Investing in local capability is not just a strategy, it is a reflection of SGS’s long-term commitment to technical integrity, talent development and client satisfaction.
