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.
