3D NDT Inspection Reporting Software
Enter your asset dimensions and NDT data. A 3D color-coded model appears instantly — showing exactly where your asset is thin, corroded, or approaching retirement.
Corrosion rates, remaining life, and API 510/570/653 retirement criteria calculated automatically. Save, share, and analyze across inspection campaigns.
From asset dimensions to colour-coded 3D inspection model in four steps. No CAD expertise required.
Colour thresholds are set against ASME/API retirement criteria for your specific asset and operating conditions.
Six standard asset types with parametric model generation. Each type pre-loaded with relevant inspection codes and retirement criteria.
Built specifically for NDT inspectors and integrity engineers — not generic data visualisation tools adapted for inspection.
Why inspection teams that switch never go back to PDF tables.

Key points covered
- Cylindrical and spherical pressure vessels. Input shell diameter, wall thickness, nozzle locations, and head geometry. Map UT thickness, RT weld indications, and PAUT C-scan data.
- Straight pipe, bends, elbows, and tees. Define pipe schedule, isometric routing, and injection points. Overlay UT thickness surveys, GWT screening results, and CUI risk maps.
- Above-ground storage tanks to API 650/653. Input tank diameter, shell course heights, and roof type. Visualize MFL floor scan data, shell UT corrosion maps, and annular plate readings.
- Onshore and offshore transmission pipelines. Define centerline route, girth weld locations, and feature logs. Integrate ILI (intelligent pigging) data, AUT weld records, and GWT anomalies.
- Shell-and-tube and plate heat exchangers. Define tubesheet layout, tube count, and bundle geometry. Visualize ECT tube inspection results with color-coded tube condition maps.
- Beams, columns, welds, and connections. Define member geometry and weld joint locations. Map UT shear wave results, MT crack indications, and corrosion loss across structural members.
- Select asset type (vessel, pipe, tank, pipeline, exchanger) and enter dimensional data — diameter, wall thickness, length, nozzle positions, weld joint map. The 3D model generates automatically.
- Supports parametric entry for standard geometries. Import from CAD/DXF for complex shapes.
- Input inspection readings at specific coordinates. Upload UT thickness grids, PAUT C-scan images, ECT tube maps, or manual point readings. Each data point is tagged with method, date, and technician.
- Accepts CSV, Excel, and direct instrument output formats. Auto-generates grid from scan parameters.
- The 3D model renders with color-coded condition mapping — green (acceptable), amber (monitor), red (at or near retirement). Click any point to see full reading history, ASME/API retirement criteria, and remaining life.
- Corrosion rate trending, remaining life projection, next inspection date per API 510/570/653.
- Save the model with all inspection data for future reference. Generate code-compliant reports (ASME Section V, API 510/570/653 format), share with stakeholders, or compare with previous inspection campaigns.
- PDF report generation, client portal access, revision tracking, and audit trail.
- Real-time 3D rendering with color mapping based on ASME/API retirement criteria. Green = acceptable, amber = enhanced monitoring required, red = retirement thickness reached or predicted within next interval.
- Every reading tagged with date, inspector, method, equipment serial, and calibration record. Multiple inspection campaigns overlaid on the same geometry for trend analysis.
- Automatic corrosion rate calculation where two or more inspections exist. Remaining life projection and next inspection date calculated per API 510, 570, or 653 as applicable.
- Level 1 API 579 fitness for service assessment integrated directly into the 3D model. Flag areas for Level 2/3 engineering assessment and document assessment basis.
- Export inspection reports pre-formatted for ASME Section V, API 510/570/653, and client specifications. Include 3D model screenshots, tabular data, and signatory fields.
- Manage inspection data across multiple assets, facilities, and geographies in one platform. Portfolio-level dashboard shows overall asset health and upcoming inspection due dates.
- Machine learning models trained on your inspection history predict areas of future concern. Risk-ranked inspection prioritization reduces cost while maintaining safety margins.
- Direct import from major NDT instruments: Olympus OmniScan (PAUT), GE Mentor (VT), Zetec MIZ (ECT), Cygnus UT gauges, and more. Eliminate manual transcription errors.
- Measured wall ≥ minimum required thickness. No action required until next scheduled inspection.
- Wall thickness approaching minimum but remaining life > next inspection interval. Monitor at increased frequency.
- Predicted to reach retirement thickness within the current inspection interval. Plan repair or fitness for service assessment.
- Measured wall ≤ retirement thickness per API 510/570/653. Immediate action required — repair, replace, or FFS assessment.
- Map UT thickness survey of 200+ pressure vessels and heat exchangers during a planned shutdown. Engineering team reviews 3D models remotely during the turnaround — eliminates delays waiting for paper reports. Fitness for service decisions made in hours, not days.
- Integrate ILI (intelligent pig) data, manual UT digs, and DCVG coating surveys on a single pipeline centerline model. Color coding immediately highlights anomaly clusters. Next-run date and inspection intervals auto-calculated per ASME B31.8S.
- MFL floor scan data overlaid on tank floor plan. Shell course UT mapped to tank elevation diagram. Annular plate readings entered by zone. Final API 653 inspection report generated in the tool with all tabular data and 3D screenshots.
- Tubesheet layout loaded from standard specification. ECT tube inspection results (bobbin probe, MRPC) color-coded by defect severity. Tubes flagged for plugging identified instantly. Remaining tube life projected from degradation rate.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need 3D CAD files to use this tool?
No. For standard asset types (pipes, cylinders, flat plates, storage tanks), you simply enter the dimensions — diameter, wall thickness, length, nozzle schedule — and the 3D model generates automatically. CAD file import (DXF, STEP) is available for complex geometries as an optional upgrade.
What NDT data formats does it accept?
The platform accepts manual data entry (readings with coordinates), CSV/Excel uploads, and direct instrument imports from major NDT equipment brands including Olympus (PAUT), GE Mentor (VT), Zetec (ECT), Cygnus UT gauges, and most ILI data exporters. Custom integrations available via REST API.
Which industry codes and standards are built in?
Currently built in: API 510 (pressure vessel), API 570 (piping), API 653 (storage tank), ASME B31.3, ASME B31.4, ASME B31.8, ASME Section VIII Div 1, and API 579 Level 1 FFS. Additional codes (ASME B31.8S, DNV, NORSOK) available on request.
Can multiple inspectors contribute data to the same asset model?
Yes. The platform supports concurrent access with role-based permissions. Field inspectors add readings in the mobile app or web browser. Inspection engineers review, validate, and approve data before it affects the model color coding. Full audit trail maintained for every data point.
How is historical inspection data migrated?
We migrate your existing inspection history from PDF reports, spreadsheets, or legacy software. Historical readings are time-stamped to their original inspection date, enabling corrosion rate calculation from day one. Data migration is included in the implementation package.
Is this cloud-based or can we run it on-premise?
Both deployment options are available. Cloud (AWS) is standard for most clients — data encrypted at rest and in transit. On-premise deployment available for clients in regulated industries or with data sovereignty requirements (common in Middle East and India operations).
What is the difference between this and your Intelligent Reporting Software?
The Intelligent Reporting Software is a full NDT management platform covering personnel certifications, equipment calibration, job management, and reporting workflows. The Digital Twin Reporting Tool is specifically focused on the 3D asset visualization layer — mapping spatial inspection data to asset geometry. Both products integrate with each other and can be licensed separately or together.
Is training required to use the 3D reporting tool?
The tool is designed for NDT inspectors and integrity engineers — not software specialists. Standard users are operational within 2-4 hours of onboarding. We provide video training library, live onboarding sessions, and ongoing support. Most clients are creating their first 3D asset model within the first day.
