Industrial Asset Management Made Simple
Our inspectors hold ASNT-SNT-TC-1A certification for Non-Destructive Testing (NDT). We combine field experience with proven NDT methods to produce quantitative results that help you understand wall loss, corrosion trends, and areas of active deterioration. You get clear findings plus recommendations that support preventative maintenance decisions before small issues become expensive failures.
Minnesota equipment often faces harsh exposure cycles. Cold winters, freeze-thaw stress, road salt and de-icing chemicals, and humidity swings can accelerate coating breakdown and corrosion, especially on older systems or high-duty assets. We support both fixed interval inspections and risk-based inspections, tailoring scope and scheduling to your asset type, operating conditions, and documentation needs.
OUR NON-DESTRUCTIVE TESTING SERVICES INCLUDE:
- Above Ground Tank Inspection
- Visual Inspections
- Ultrasonic Testing
- Magnetic Particle Testing / Magnaflux Inspection
- Penetrant Dye Testing
- Vacuum Box Testing
- Radiographic Testing
- Ultrasonic Thickness Testing
- Tank Tightness Testing

Why Minnesota is Choosing NDT Tanknicians
Minnesota has a long industrial story that still shapes the equipment in service today. In the Twin Cities, industrial growth was powered by St. Anthony Falls, which helped Minneapolis develop into a major milling hub for decades. In northern Minnesota, mining and materials operations have supported regional supply chains for generations, and these sites often depend on reliable inspection planning and clear reporting to keep critical assets in service.
That combination of processing, heavy industry, and demanding weather conditions creates a straightforward reality: mechanical integrity programs need to be consistent, auditable, and built for seasonal constraints. NDT Tanknicians supports Minnesota operators with:
-
Repeatable inspection standards across tank farms, facility tanks, piping, and pressure systems
-
Clear, 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 tight outage windows and winter limitations
