Service Overview

Ensuring Safe & Reliable Drilling Performance

MEGATECH delivers Rig Inspection services covering structural, mechanical, drilling equipment and safety-critical systems across Jack-Up rigs, Land rigs, Barge rigs and Offshore Drilling Units. Our programs reduce operational risks, verify OEM compliance and strengthen asset readiness before, during and after drilling campaigns.

Our inspection teams are certified in derrick safety, rigging, NDT, DROPS and OEM-specific inspection protocols. We evaluate equipment fitness, alignment, load paths and high-risk zones using both conventional and advanced NDT methods.

Inspection Precision for Rig Environments

Offshore rigs demand specialised NDT techniques to evaluate structural & mechanical components under cyclic loads and harsh environmental conditions.

  • PAUT for thick-section welds on derricks
  • MFL & MT for critical lifting points
  • Eddy current for rotary & top drive components
  • TOFD for mast & substructure nodes
  • Thermal imaging of electrical faults
Engineering Decision Support

Inspection outputs are converted into decision-ready engineering dashboards, including anomaly registers, defect trending and repair priority matrices.
