Certified Tank Inspection and Testing Services in Minneapolis

Increase the longevity of your assets with expert mechanical integrity evaluations and non-destructive testing.

Industrial Asset Management Made Simple

Our inspectors hold ASNT-SNT-TC-1A certification for Non-Destructive Testing (NDT). We use proven methods to produce quantitative findings that help you confirm remaining wall thickness, track corrosion trends, and prioritize repairs with confidence.

The Minneapolis area puts equipment through demanding exposure cycles. Cold winters, freeze-thaw stress, de-icing chemicals, and humidity swings can accelerate coating breakdown and corrosion on above ground tanks, piping, and pressure systems, especially on outdoor assets and older installations. We support both fixed interval inspections and risk-based inspections, tailoring scope to your asset type, service conditions, and documentation needs.

Why Minneapolis is Choosing NDT Tanknicians

Minneapolis earned the nickname “Mill City” for a reason. The power of St. Anthony Falls helped establish Minneapolis as a major U.S. city, first through lumber and then through flour milling that scaled into one of the country’s most productive industrial centers.

That industrial foundation still influences today’s operating environment across the metro. Facilities often run on tight maintenance windows and rely on dependable tanks, pressure vessels, and piping systems to keep production, utilities, and distribution moving.

The Twin Cities also sit next to major regional fuel infrastructure. Just south of Minneapolis, the Pine Bend refinery in Rosemount is a large Upper Midwest supplier with substantial daily capacity, which reinforces how important reliable storage and transfer systems are across the region.

NDT Tanknicians supports Minneapolis operators with:

• Repeatable inspection standards across tanks, piping, and pressure equipment

• Actionable reporting that supports maintenance planning, budgeting, and repair decisions

• Coatings, linings, and repair support to slow corrosion and extend asset life

• Scheduling that fits real operations, including outages and high-uptime facilities
