Structural Steel Nondestructive Testing and Inspection

The construction industry is fueled by structural steel, prized for its flexibility, durability, and recyclability. Steel’s primacy as a building material underscores the critical need for skilled and certified inspectors to uphold quality standards.

With a deep inventory of equipment and certified experts throughout the country, we can perform structural steel services for your project no matter its size, scope, or location. While much of our work is performed on project sites, we also inspect and observe at structural steel fabrication facilities to help detect and correct any flaws early in the process. Testing and observation can occur during or after the erection process for connections that are welded, bolted, or between precast elements and the structural frame.
