5. Sheet-Metal-Shop

Sheet metal is a thin, flat piece of metal formed by an industrial process into uniform thickness. It is one of the most versatile forms of raw material used in manufacturing and engineering. Sheet metal can be cut, bent, drilled, and shaped into a wide variety of products and structures.

It is available in different materials such as steel, aluminium, copper, brass, and titanium, and in various thicknesses (known as gauge). Sheet metal is widely used in aircraft structures, automotive bodies, building components, machinery, and household appliances due to its strength, light weight, and ease of fabrication.

Processes such as shearing, bending, welding, riveting, and forming are commonly applied to sheet metal to create components with precision and durability.

6. Jet Engine Shop

8. NDT Lab

Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) is a group of inspection techniques used to evaluate the properties, integrity, and quality of a material, component, or structure without causing any damage to it. NDT is widely applied in industries such as aviation, aerospace, manufacturing, oil & gas, and civil engineering to ensure safety, reliability, and compliance with standards.

Common NDT methods include:

  • Visual Inspection (VI): Checking for surface defects.
  • Ultrasonic Testing (UT): Using high-frequency sound waves to detect internal flaws.
  • Radiographic Testing (RT): Using X-rays or gamma rays to examine internal structures.
  • Magnetic Particle Testing (MT): Detecting surface and near-surface cracks in ferromagnetic materials.
  • Dye Penetrant Testing (PT): Revealing surface cracks and porosity using dyes.
  • Eddy Current Testing (ET): Detecting surface and sub-surface flaws using electromagnetic induction.

NDT ensures that defects are detected early without affecting the usability of the component, making it essential for aircraft maintenance, safety inspections, and quality control.
