Overview

The term public administration refers to the implementation, management, and coordination of public policies, programs, and services by government agencies. The public administration industry encompasses the organizations and individuals involved in the planning, execution, and oversight of government functions at various levels, including local, state, and federal levels.

Depending on specific features and functions, GAO Tek’s Flaw Detectors are sometimes referred to as defect detectors, fault finders, imperfection scanners, flaw inspection devices, anomaly detectors, non-destructive testing (NDT) equipment, material integrity testers, surface irregularity sensors, quality control instruments, crack inspection tools, inhomogeneity detectors, material assessment devices, structural integrity analyzers, non-invasive inspection tools, deficiency scanners, irregularity monitors, discontinuity detectors, flaw identification devices, defect mapping systems, and non-destructive evaluation (NDE) tools.

Furthermore, GAO Tek’s flaw detectors are further grouped into:

Alarm Integrated Flaw Detectors, Auto Calibrated Flaw Detectors, Benchtop Flaw Detectors, Concrete Flaw Detectors, Handheld Flaw Detectors, High Precision Detectors, Transducer Calibrated Flaw Detectors, and Ultrasonic Flaw Detectors
