NDT Global

What NDT Global does

NDT Global is a privately-held provider of inline diagnostic (ILI), integrity management, and subsea robotics solutions for global energy pipeline infrastructure, headquartered under NDT Global Group Inc. in Québec, Canada, with a manufacturing footprint in Germany and analysis centers across North America and Mexico. Its core product is a multi-modal inspection tool fleet built on ultrasonic (UT), magnetic flux leakage (MFL), acoustic resonance (ART), phased-array, and inertial measurement technologies, organized around product brands including CIGMA-x™ (gas-pipeline crack detection, 90% POD), PROTON™ (liquid-pipeline phased-array UT), ART Scan, and the EVO Platform; in October 2024 the company extended this portfolio with a 56-inch multi-sensor UT tool co-developed with Saudi Aramco for the largest-diameter pipelines.

The company monetizes these tools through B2B enterprise service contracts in which pipeline operators pay for inline inspection runs, integrity engineering assessment, fitness-for-service evaluation, regulatory services, and risk assessment; complementary subsea and robotics revenue is generated through TSC Subsea-linked offerings in offshore oil & gas, offshore wind, maritime/FPSO, and flow assurance. Distribution is direct enterprise field sales, supported by technical white papers, an industry-conference presence (e.g., IPCE), and a multi-channel content/newsletter footprint. The business has scaled to 1,100+ employees across Canada, the U.S., Germany, Ireland, the U.K., Mexico, and Saudi Arabia, has been repeatedly recognized as one of Canada's Best Managed Companies (Gold Standard in 2025), and is independently assessed by DNV GL against operational KPIs (95% First Run Success Rate, 98% On-Time Reporting in 2025). In 2025 the company re-entered the natural gas ILI market via acquisitions of UT/MFL specialists, closed a Novacap growth round, and added Entegra® to the portfolio to broaden its UHR-MFL integrity-insights offering.

Core offering

NDT Global provides inline diagnostic inspection services and technologies for oil and gas pipelines, using ultrasonic, magnetic flux leakage, and acoustic resonance methods to detect metal loss, cracks, dents, and ovalities. The company also delivers integrity management services (engineering assessment, fitness-for-service, regulatory, and risk assessment) and subsea robotics solutions for offshore energy infrastructure across gas, liquid, and complex pipelines worldwide.

Product overview

NDT Global is the leading provider of inline diagnostic solutions, integrity management, and subsea robotics for pipeline infrastructure. The portfolio consists of core inspection technologies organized around two main platforms: Inline Inspection using Ultrasonic (UT) technology and Inline Inspection using Magnetic Flux Leakage (MFL). The UT platform includes CIGMA-x™ for gas pipelines, PROTON™ phased array for liquid pipelines, ART Scan acoustic resonance platform, and EVO Platform, along with specialized Pulse Echo technologies for metal loss and crack detection. The MFL platform provides magnetic flux leakage inspection services. Supporting these inspection tools are Integrity Management services (engineering assessment, fitness-for-service, regulatory services, risk assessment) and Subsea & Robotics solutions for offshore applications. The product line covers gas pipelines, liquid pipelines, offshore pipelines, bi-directional pipelines, cladded pipelines, and multi-diameter pipelines with applications for dents, ovalities, metal loss, cracks, interacting threats, and pipeline movement.

• STATS Group: STATS Group provides pipeline intervention, isolation, and integrity services primarily across the UK, Middle East, and other regions. Comparable in pipeline integrity services for operators, with a different geographic footprint than NDT Global.

Emerging players

• PureHM: PureHM offers advanced pipeline inspection and integrity management services with focus on crack detection and MFL technologies. Comparable as an emerging specialist in inline inspection for oil & gas operators.
• Halfwave AS: Halfwave is a specialist in ultrasonic inline inspection technology for pipelines, focusing on acoustic resonance and related NDT modalities. Comparable as an emerging specialist competitor in advanced UT inspection that overlaps with NDT Global's ART Scan / acoustic resonance technology.

Broad incumbents

• Baker Hughes (Pipeline Inspection / Pipeline Solutions): Baker Hughes offers pipeline inspection services and integrity solutions through its broader oilfield services and industrial portfolio. Comparable as a broad incumbent providing pipeline inspection alongside many other energy services.
• Applus+ (Applus IDIADA / RTD): Applus+ is a global testing, inspection, and certification (TIC) conglomerate with significant pipeline and energy NDT service lines. Comparable as a broader incumbent in NDT for energy infrastructure, though its portfolio extends well beyond pipeline ILI.

Others
