GROUND Engineering uses NDT (non-destructive testing) capabilities to deliver lower project costs and faster turn-around than ever before.

GROUND provides a broad range of structural steel testing, observation and inspection. We have a complete in-house staff of certified weld inspectors (CWI) and GROUND’s structural steel department is headed by a degreed welding engineer. Our in-house staff is experienced and familiar with the utilization of numerous testing codes and specifications including AWS D1.1, ASME B31.1-31.9, Uniform Building Code (UBC), International Building Code (IBC), RCSC for bolted connections, and AISC.

We provide a total construction observation and materials testing team able to work within the tightest of schedules. Our services include:

• Fabrication shop welding observation and testing
• Bolt testing (Skidmore Wilhelm)
• Field erection welding observation and testing
• Reinforcing steel and post tensioned tendon placement oversight

GROUND’s non-destructive testing (NDT) includes visual testing (VT), ultrasonic testing (UT), dye penetrant testing (PT), and magnetic particle testing (MT). We have teamed to provide radiographic testing (RT) if required by the project specifications.

GROUND’s in-house capabilities using NDT mean lower project costs, faster turn-around and quicker response time.
