Applus RTD has opened up an office in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania following the demand for its non-destructive testing (NDT) services in the area.

The new office is part of Applus RTD’s strategic growth plan and has been driven by operations surrounding the Marcellus Shale Formation.

Martin Derby, Applus RTD’s director for US shale development, said: “Opening up a base in Pittsburgh has placed Applus RTD at the heart of the Marcellus Formation and has allowed us to provide on-site support for our existing client base.

“From this office we are providing conventional NDT services such as radiography, ultra-sonic testing (UT) and digital radiography testing (DRT), as well as additional support in geo-technical services including seismic refraction and ground penetrating radar for pipeline design and pipeline investigation studies.”
