NDT & rail radiography at Upington
MPIA Services carries out non-destructive testing on site at Upington, Northern Cape. Our mobile field units travel to the asset, so rail welds and components are inspected in place — on live corridors, in yards and at the depot itself — without shipping anything to a laboratory. Work is performed by SNT-TC-1A certified technicians under a SAHPRA licence, and reported to the specification the asset owner requires.

How we mobilise
Teams deploy to Upington from our base in Durban (KwaZulu-Natal), with equipment, sealed sources and safety documentation travelling with the crew. Radiation work is carried out under our SAHPRA licence with the required pre- and post-exposure surveys, dose monitoring and exclusion-zone control. Results are captured digitally in the field and reported against the asset owner's specification, so certification is not held up waiting for paperwork to come back from site.
