UTComp: Composite Asset Intelligence

engineering and inspection services for composite fabrication and management excellence

The data you need for proactive service-life forecasting.
No destruction, no guesswork, no downtime.


UTComp’s proprietary UltraAnalytix™ inspection system ensures the safe performance and maximum lifespan of fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) and other composite industrial assets, saving clients millions of dollars in downtime and unnecessary replacement costs.

No longer is it necessary to cut into tanks, pipes and other equipment to evaluate their strength and condition – further weakening structural integrity – or to shut down operations and enter confined spaces only to perform highly subjective visual inspections.

Our comprehensive reporting documents asset changes over time for proactive service-life forecasting that supports a robust Asset Management System and Process Safety Management Planning.

You get the right information at the right time to make the right evidence-based decisions - based on a solid foundation of engineering excellence and composite subject matter expertise. That's the UltraAnalytix™ Advantage.
