    NDT techniques are used to inspect a wide range of structures, including bridges, buildings, and other types of infrastructure. For example, ultrasonic testing is often used to inspect the thickness of bridge decks and other structures to ensure that they are safe and in good condition. Radiographic testing is also used to identify defects in welds, such as cracks and voids, that could compromise the integrity of the structure.

    In addition to inspecting structures on land, NDT techniques are also used to inspect offshore platforms, ships, and other marine structures. These inspections are often performed using specialized equipment and techniques that are specifically designed to withstand the harsh conditions of the marine environment.

    Overall, NDT plays a vital role in ensuring the safety and integrity of the built environment, and helps to protect people and property from the risks of structural failure and collapse.
