Every year NDT Hero Advocates come together to provide students with a real-life NDT experience with hands on inspections that include the use of magnetism, sound waves, radiography for flaw detection, surface mapping, material identification with x-rays, and elevated work.

This provides student with the opportunity to network with area employers, industry experts, and put their classroom training to use in a real-world environment.

The safety and reliability of everything we use relies on Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) expertise to insure our infrastructure remains reliable for the next passenger, customer, generation.

General public is welcome to attend to see what NDT is about for FREE by clicking on the Attendee QR Code here.

Join us to learn about the world of Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) and how we use tools similar to the medical industry to perform non-invasive inspections of common material and structures that make up our world. I like to think of it as “Medical for Metals, and other stuff” where professionals work in the background to make sure welds are sound, materials are intact, and hardware is safe to use.

The career opportunities span from entry level to a corporate role in one of many industries including aerospace, energy, transportation, and many more. Drop in for an immersive look into the pipeline world at this year’s Down & Dirty event.

Students get the opportunity to operate real world equipment under the supervision of experienced professionals in their field. The day is filled with test methods and techniques that they would be expected to use during their early days as an NDT technician.

This event is open to the public to learn and understand the importance of Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) and how we make the world a safer place to live.

Witness the world of NDT up close. Industry experts will be on hand to answer your questions and explain the test methods being used and discuss the many other test methods available.
