Employee-Owner Spotlight: Wesley Soape, ASNT NDT Level III, La Porte, TX

Wesley Soape.

我们最近遇到了德克萨斯州德克萨斯州办事处的韦斯利Soepe,III级NDE技术人员,以讨论他在工业造影的角色以及他如何在计算的射线照相中开始他的道路。

您在Braun Intertec的角色是什manbet体育滚球么?
I am, officially, a无损检查field technician, but unofficially, I handle Computed Radiography compliance for the Gulf Coast of Texas. Someday I would like to help build a非破坏性测试lab in the德克萨斯州La Portearea. Houston is a great market and our NDT team here is in the process of obtaining the certifications required by the clientele in this area.

你如何开始your NDT career path?
My career started because both of my brothers had been working in the nondestructive testing industry, so it caught my eye. I thought I would give NDT a year or two to see if it was a good fit. I ended up liking it and now I’ve been working in NDT for 14 years!

一些早期职业亮点包括新的制造,制造产品和铸造。从那里,我已经在布劳恩Intertec成为III级技术人员工作。manbet体育滚球

您最喜欢的NDT项目是什么?
我享受了很多不同的项目。我最喜欢的项目是Subsea NDT项目。我在几个海底歧管上工作了液压线。

几年前,我工作了一系列的项目,我在镜头环上工作,探测器,但我不得不提出一种新的方式来调整到这些戒指的射程,露出零件。那花了我一点时间,但现在客户仍然将该过程用作检查它们的标准方式。

您能在工业射线造影中告诉我们您的NDT工作吗?
我在工业射线照相中的经验非常广泛,从微小的电子元件到巨大的部件,必须在现场组装和检查,因为我们无法移动它们。

About 10 years ago, I was working with a different NDT firm and they told to go out to a site and start working with a new technology—computed radiography. At the time, I had zero training and zero experience. That project led to more classroom training and different digital technologies. Over the last six to eight years, I’ve become known as the digital radiography guy in La Porte.

您如何使用计算机化的射线照相作为Braun Intertec的NDE技术人员?manbet体育滚球
I actually get to build our own program here in La Porte. It has been really rewarding to start a program from scratch. Our Minneapolis area office has been implementing CR in wall-thickness measurements and information-only exposures. We are here, in Texas, building our weld-quality inspection program centered around new technologies. A lot of NDT companies are doing the same at the moment, but I feel that our thorough nature and experience will push us to the top of the market. Braun Intertec has given me the freedom to do what I need to make our program work and make it successful with standardized compliance at the forefront.

How does safety factor into your day-to-day work?
安全始终是我脑海中的第一件事。任何时候我在网站上,我先检查安全危险。我也确保每个人都感到舒适。安全的另一个重要部分是确保设备都在那里,一切都被校准。作为Bramanbet体育滚球un Intertec员工,安全是您在完成前的第一件事,在完成您的一天之前检查的最后一箱。
