Industrial Asset Management Made Simple
Our inspectors are accredited with ASNT-SNT-TC-1A certification for Non-Destructive Testing (NDT). Using proven methods and modern tools, we deliver clear, quantitative results that support corrosion rate estimates and help identify areas of active deterioration. Based on what we find, we recommend practical preventative maintenance steps that reduce environmental risk and help you avoid expensive repairs later.
In the Chicago metro, tanks and piping are exposed to demanding conditions that can accelerate wear. Freeze-thaw cycles, road salt and de-icing chemicals, humidity, and wide seasonal temperature swings can contribute to corrosion and coating breakdown. Add continuous throughput and dense infrastructure, and the cost of downtime can climb fast. We support operators across the region, including Chicago, the industrial corridor, and surrounding suburbs.
We perform both fixed interval inspections and risk-based inspections to provide insight into the structural integrity of your assets when it matters most. Our expert API 653, API 510, STI SP001, and API 570 inspections identify how well your equipment is holding up against weather, operational stress, and the product it contains.
