ACFM Weld & Hull Crack Inspection — Genoa

Alternating Current Field Measurement (ACFM) detects and sizes surface-breaking cracks in steel through the coating, without the surface preparation magnetic particle inspection requires — well suited to in-water structural welds where grinding back to bare metal isn't practical. Every crack indication found is sized and mapped directly onto the vessel's 3D digital twin, alongside the video record of the read.

Why it matters in Genoa

Italy's largest port by cargo volume and a historic shipbuilding and repair hub, home to the classification society RINA.

A working port with this much vessel traffic and repair activity generates a steady, genuine need for in-water hull survey, class inspection support, and quay condition monitoring — not a one-off requirement.

Deliverable

A crack-sizing report with every indication mapped onto the 3D model, without stripping the coating.
