About Apec Inspection
APEC Inspection is a Newcastle-based provider of non-destructive testing (NDT), pressure vessel inspection and asset-integrity services, servicing clients throughout Queensland. With an inspector based in the Mackay region, we give Mackay and Central Queensland local access to our services, backed by our wider Newcastle team who mobilise to sites across the state as required.
Mackay and Central Queensland sit at the heart of the state's resources, energy, port and heavy-industry activity, where the safe operation of pressure equipment, pipework, storage tanks and structures relies on regular inspection. Having an inspector on the ground in the region means we can respond quickly to local inspection requirements and reduce the mobilisation costs of a fly-in, fly-out crew.
From weld inspection with phased array ultrasonics (PAUT) and conventional ultrasonics, to magnetic particle, dye penetrant, eddy current and positive material identification (PMI), our technicians deliver a full range of NDT and inspection services. Whether you need a one-off inspection or ongoing asset-integrity support, contact APEC Inspection for your pressure vessel and NDT needs in Queensland today.
