Safety and quality, two of the most critical aspects in engineering and allied industries globally can only be upheld by implementing pertinent testing processes. A widely employed proactive approach utilized for ensuring quality of products and/or systems is Non Destructive Testing (NDT/NDE). The process through which materials, components or assemblies are inspected, tested and evaluated to check discontinuities or differences in characteristics without destroying its physical & chemical properties and service abilities has gained immense traction in India and globally. According to a Non-Destructive Testing and Inspection report by MarketsandMarkets, the industry is slated to grow at a CAGR of 7.24 percent from 2018 to 2024 and be worth a whopping $12.6 billion by 2014.

Building on the huge potential of the NDT market is Godavari Technical Services (GTS), a pioneer in rendering NDT services to various segments of the engineering industry such as mechanical, petroleum, electrical, aeronautical and automobile, among others. Founded in 2000 by Chandrakant Ipar, CEO and an industry veteran, GTS specializes in Radiographic Testing (RT), Ultrasonic Testing (UT), Magnetic

Particle Testing (MPT), Liquid Penetrant Testing (LPT), Visual Testing (VT) and Remnant Life Assessment(RLA)of boilers. Headquartered in Nashik with zonal offices in Mumbai, Ahmedabad and Rajkot, the NDT expert organization has established a robust presence in the Indian and global market.

Building & Sustaining Success on Foundations of Experience
A tall tree often has deep roots. Similarly, GTS was built on the foundations of experience, education and industry knowledge of Chandrakant. Hailing from humble beginnings, Chandrakant’s parents are farmers in a small village. Having worked hard with persistence, he founded and nurtured GTS to become a major NDT player. Having entered the field in 1984, Chandrakant, an ASNT NDT Level II certified professional, is well versed with the nittygritties of the NDT industry and brings the same specialization to benefit clients.

GTS has built its reputation in the industry through commitment, innovation and on time delivery of projects. This has helped the organization to gain its clients’ confidence over these years. As a result, the name GTS has now become synonymous with NDT. Armed with strong technical expertise, the firm renders undivided technical support to clients throughout the project and ensures that there is constant interaction & feedback from clients.

Passing-on the mantle into able hands, Chetan Ipar, (ASNT Lev-III), Deputy CEO, has infused a young energy into the working of GTS. Soon to complete two decades in the industry, GTS will continue to strengthen the core values and vision of its founder Chandrakant.
