In addition our small area radiography system utilizes Sentinel 959 equipment with Se-75 sources up to approximately 370Gbq allowing barrier distances down to 2m. X-Radiography equipment comprises all current industry standard site portable equipment like Rigaku 300Kv Directional, Rigaku SPS 200Kv Directional, 160Kv CP Units & Rigaku 300Kv Panoramic.
Our film processing is by automatic systems such as GE Agfa NDT-U units in our workshop facilities and GE Nova film processors utilized for site establishment projects. In addition we have mobile darkroom facilities with automatic film processing installed in a site vehicle for the provision of instantaneous film processing at site where a fast response is required.
