Applus+ in Canada secures Landmark Contract for Canada’s First IWEX Landline Initiative

This project marks a significant achievement in the deployment of advanced Full Matrix Capture (FMC) technology, using advanced Ultrasonic Testing (UT) techniques to deliver exceptional inspection accuracy and efficiency.

IWEX (Inverse Wavefield Extrapolation) is a cutting-edge FMC technology that collects unique A-scans from each member of an array transducer. By processing these A-scans using techniques similar to seismic exploration and medical imaging, we can analyze the structural integrity of materials with unprecedented precision. This allows us to achieve superior results in defect identification, benefiting clients across a wide range of industrial applications.

One standout feature of this project is the integration of real-time data analysis, made possible by advancements in computer hardware and software. This capability accelerates in field decision-making and reduces the probability of human error, ensuring a more reliable inspection outcome.

The IWEX Landline program will set a new benchmark for advanced ultrasonic inspections in Canada, thus promoting the broader utilization of this powerful technology. We are committed to redefining the inspection industry's limits of innovation by providing our clients with cutting-edge solutions that address their evolving needs.
