Certified Tank Inspection and Testing Services in South Dakota

Extend the life of your valuable resources 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 deliver measurable condition data that helps you track corrosion, validate remaining wall thickness, and prioritize repairs based on defensible findings.

South Dakota assets see seasonal swings that can drive coating breakdown and corrosion over time. Freeze-thaw cycles, wind exposure, road salt and de-icing chemicals, and frequent equipment cycling can all contribute to wear on outdoor tanks and piping. We support both fixed interval inspections and risk-based inspections, tailoring scope to the asset, service conditions, and your documentation needs.

We perform both fixed interval inspections and risk-based inspections to provide insight into the structural integrity of your assets when it is most needed. Our expert API 653, API 510, STI SP0001, and API 570 inspections will uncover exactly how well your tank is holding up, to both outside elements and the product it contains.

Why South Dakota is Choosing NDT Tanknicians

South Dakota is built around moving and processing large volumes of material. One example is biofuels. The U.S. EIA notes the state has 16 fuel ethanol plants with about 1.5 billion gallons per year of production capacity.

That kind of throughput depends on tanks and piping that stay reliable, plus inspection documentation that supports maintenance planning and compliance. NDT Tanknicians helps South Dakota operators by providing:

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

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

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

• Scheduling that respects operations and tight maintenance windows
