At Bilfinger UK’s division based in Esbjerg, Denmark, Raphael Mokri is the Advanced NDT Project Engineer. The office has around 60 employees, and Raphael’s job is to support the division in terms of any technical queries for all phased array, time-of-flight diffraction (TOFD), and other advanced NDT applications. Bilfinger is an industrial service provider specializing in asset management for the onshore and offshore energy industry. As part of their daily duties, Raphael and his team of inspection technicians regularly employ our HydroFORM™ phased array (PA) scanner with the OmniScan™ X3 flaw detector to acquire PA ultrasonic data. On a recent visit to Evident’s office in France, Raphael had a chance to try out the next-generation HydroFORM scanner and give us his feedback. Before delving into what Raphael thinks about the new design features, first we asked him to tell us a bit about the job of an NDT inspector on offshore rigs.
