NDT Global launches QUADRA™ UHR ILI system at IPCE 2026

QUADRA™ brings multiple inspection datasets together in a single run, allowing operators to better understand how different threats interact across the pipeline. Rather than evaluating inspection results in isolation, NDT Global integrates complementary data to create greater context around pipeline condition and integrity risk.

This integrated approach is central to NDT Global’s strategy. The value is not simply in collecting more data, but in connecting inspection data with advanced analysis, engineering, and integrity management to help operators move more quickly from inspection to informed action.

“QUADRA represents an important step in how we think about pipeline inspection,” said Paul Cooper, President, NDT Global. “The future is not about individual inspection technologies operating independently. It is about bringing data together and applying the knowledge we have built through decades of inspection experience and an extensive historical dataset to create better context for integrity decisions. Our goal is to move customers faster from data to insight to action.”

QUADRA combines NDT Global’s established ultra-high resolution axial magnetic flux leakage capability with circumferential magnetic flux leakage and other complementary inspection data. Together, these datasets provide a broader view of pipeline threats, including corrosion, narrow axial features, seam-related anomalies, hard spots, and other complex conditions.

The differentiator is what happens to the data once collected. NDT Global’s integrated data environment enables information from multiple inspection technologies to be aligned, compared, and analysed together, giving operators stronger context and greater confidence in understanding pipeline health and prioritizing integrity actions.

"The strength of QUADRA is its modular design," said Miguel Maldonado, Director, MFL Product Management. "Built on our proven UHR Trinity platform and enhanced with UHR C-MFL technology, QUADRA allows operators to tailor inspection capabilities to specific integrity challenges while collecting complementary datasets in a single run. This provides a broader understanding of the pipeline without adding operational complexity."

By combining inspection data within a single run and integrating it through the broader integrity workflow, QUADRA is designed to reduce inspection complexity, maximise the value of each inspection opportunity, and improve the speed and quality of integrity decision-making.

NDT Global will officially showcase QUADRA at IPCE 2026 in Calgary, where attendees can learn more about the solution and NDT Global’s broader approach to integrated pipeline data and integrity intelligence.
