The Port of Antwerp-Bruges is the largest integrated chemical and petrochemical cluster in Europe and the second-largest port in the continent. Stretching along both banks of the Scheldt, the port zone hosts an extraordinary concentration of refineries, petrochemical plants, chemical processing facilities, tank farms, distribution terminals and supporting industrial infrastructure. This immense industrial complex — home to companies such as BASF, TotalEnergies, ExxonMobil, Borealis, INEOS and dozens of other major operators — generates one of the highest demands for non-destructive testing services anywhere in Europe.
LCNDTEST provides comprehensive NDT services to the Antwerp port and petrochemical sector, deploying experienced inspection teams from our base in Nivelles to sites across the Antwerp region. Our technicians are thoroughly familiar with the specific requirements of working in petrochemical and chemical environments — including site-specific safety inductions, hot work permit procedures, ATEX zone awareness, working at height, confined space entry and the coordination with multiple contractors that characterises turnaround and maintenance operations in the port zone.
The scale and criticality of the installations in the Port of Antwerp demand NDT services of the highest quality, performed by certified professionals using calibrated equipment and qualified procedures. LCNDTEST meets this standard consistently, providing the petrochemical and port industries with reliable inspection results that support safe operation, regulatory compliance, asset integrity management and informed maintenance decision-making. Whether you require a single spot inspection or a large-scale turnaround inspection campaign covering hundreds of welds and thousands of thickness measurement points, LCNDTEST has the capacity and expertise to deliver.
