Thread Inspection
SlimDril International provide a specialist thread inspection and non-destructive testing (NDT) service through SlimDril Inspection Services, supporting the HDD, oil & gas, utilities, marine, and construction sectors.
This service line was established in response to growing client demand for local tubular and thread inspection, where suitable inspection and repair facilities were previously unavailable within the Southern UK, often requiring tooling to be sent to Aberdeen or mainland Europe.
Inspection & NDT Services
SlimDril Inspection Services are led by an inspector with over 30 years experience in tubular inspection and NDT. This depth of experience ensures inspections are carried out to consistent, dependable best-practice standards across all equipment.
The service focuses on the inspection, testing, and life-extension of downhole rotary equipment, drill pipe, production tubing, and casing, helping contractors maintain safety, compliance, and asset value.
