What Inspection Technology does

Inspection Technology Company (ITC) is a privately held Saudi Arabian non-destructive testing (NDT) and industrial inspection services provider, founded in 2009 and headquartered in Al Khobar, Eastern Province. The company delivers a comprehensive suite of conventional and advanced NDT services — including Radiographic Testing (RT), Ultrasonic Testing (UT), Magnetic Particle Testing (MT), Penetrant Testing (PT), Positive Material Identification (PMI), Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT), Time-of-Flight Diffraction (TOFD), Total Focusing Method (TFM), and Magnetic Flux Leakage (MFL) — alongside adjacent offerings such as lifting equipment inspection, drilling rigs inspection, rope access inspection, post-weld heat treatment (PWHT), in-service plant inspection, dropped objects surveys, and technical training. Service delivery is on-site at client facilities across Saudi Arabia.

ITC operates as a B2B enterprise field-services business targeting high-hazard industries. Its primary verticals are oil & gas (refineries, onshore/offshore production, petrochemical, fertilizer plants) and heavy industrial/manufacturing (power, cement, steel, paper, sugar mills). The company is a Saudi Aramco-approved CNDT Service Provider — the most consequential commercial credential — and holds ISO 9001:2015 certification. Additional registered clients include SABIC, Saudi Electric Company, Sinopec, and Saudi Arabian Engineering Company. Pricing is project-based / quote-driven rather than standardized and is not publicly disclosed.

In 2023, ITC was acquired by ACES, a global geotechnical and materials technology company, and now operates as part of ACES Group. In the same year, the company relocated to a state-of-the-art Khobar facility and expanded its advanced NDT capability set. The company is small (11-50 employees), operates exclusively within Saudi Arabia, and has no disclosed revenue, external funding, or AI/ML capabilities.
