TECHT is a Western Australian third-party independent consultancy, focused on delivering specialised solutions to its clients.
Through experienced people and inspectors, TECHT ensures world-class technology and outputs are delivered for every project.
We specialise in innovative and reliable end-to-end ASSET INTEGRITY & CORROSION MANAGEMENT services for a wide range of industries.
Typically, the first step is to understand the environment from a CORROSION & DURABILITY point of view. TECHT develops comprehensive Corrosivity Assessments based on information gathered onsite and from reputable sources to produce Service Life Calculations to industry best practice & standards.
A DURABILITY PLAN breaks down the project into its various environments and assesses individual risk. Once this process is undertaken then construction detailing improvements are offered to mitigate deterioration mechanisms that lead to structural implications.
TECHT CAN OFFER ALL ASPECTS OF A DURABILITY PLAN from the original overview document through to construction documents, specifications, quality control verification, and the development maintenance manuals.
TECHT’s experience in doing inspections and failure analysis can be drawn on by our qualified engineers to ensure that design issues can be addressed at the FEED phase of the project, rather than at construction, or even production phase.
Our approach to durability planning encompasses the following key criteria:
TECHT’s knowledge and experience of what influences a material property due mechanical, chemical or other process assists decision making. We aim to simplify the choices when considering cost, manufacture, the environment, and corrosion protection.
Correct product specification is crucial to ensure that the end user’s assets are going to be fit for purpose for the intended life. This process also alleviates site issues and problems associated with premature failures.
An essential part of TECHT’s services is the availability of in-house and third-party testing facilities. This includes metallurgical, analytical and microbial testing. Corrosion Coupon exposure is one way of testing a material to ensure it is fit for purpose, leading to correct material selection for the project.
YOU GET WHAT YOU INSPECT. TECHT offers a full range of Quality Assurance and Quality Control Services. From the kick-off meeting to the final closeout report, TECHT ensures the specification is followed and can assist with any conflict resolution quickly and professionally, should it arise.
Education raises awareness. Trained operators are more likely to prevent and manage MIC risk effectively.
Knowing your system and what conditions support microbial life is the first step in understanding the overall health of your asset, as well as the source of potential problems and the overall MIC risk.
At TECHT, we understand that all assets are different, and therefore, we seek to create tailored, cost-effective monitoring programs that deliver meaningful data and practical solutions.
Studying a case of material failure suspected of being caused by microbial activity or biofouling involves field observations, spot tests, sampling and characterization, constructing and testing a hypothesis and proposing a mechanism.
Biofilms are recognised as a global issue impacting health, food, water, marine and industrial sectors. Biofilm formation is the critical step in MIC.
Automating manual processes for operational safety and efficiency gains
Facilitating real-time asset oversight for data-driven decision-making
Tailored software solutions for modern industrial challenges
Comprehensive Cathodic Protection Engineering Services
Proven excellence in delivering custom sensor solutions on time, on budget, and safely
TECHT is undergoing ISO9001 accreditation and is proudly associated with the following industry bodies
We provide our services to some of the worlds largest industries.
Laboratory testing work has assisted us by simulating process conditions to allow data driven decisions on material selection. Really enjoyed working with the BioTECHT team.
“TECHT was able to assist site personnel to ensure the job got done when undertaking planned maintenance inspections. Service that is over and above.”
“Structural integrity items encompass structural steel and concrete structures that are designed to last for the life of the operation. When the life of mine is extended, action needs to be taken. TECHT engineers assisted in setting up the Structural Integrity Reliability Program at our plant to ensure our structures are fit for purpose for the extended life.”
“TECHT engineers undertook a range of inspections that satisfy our statutory internal and external asset inspection requirements, to a high standard.”
“TECHT undertook a corrosivity assessment of our site and developed a corrosion mitigation plan strategy based on the findings. The report allowed us to downgrade material specifications with confidence, saving the project hundreds of thousands.”
