GROUND Engineering has a complete in-house weld inspection department with 6 full-time certified weld inspectors.

GROUND can provide a broad range of structural steel testing, observation and inspection. We have an in-house staff of certified weld inspectors (CWI). GROUND’s structural steel department is led by two degreed welding engineers. 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 can provide a total construction observation and materials testing team able to work within the tightest of schedules. Our services can include:

• Fabrication shop welding observation and testing; in-state and out-of-state
• Bolt testing (Skidmore Wilhelm Calibration)
• Field erection welding observation and testing
• Reinforcing steel and post tensioned tendon placement oversight
• Welder Certification
• Procedure Preparation

GROUND’s non-destructive testing (NDT) can include visual testing (VT), ultrasonic testing (UT), dye penetrant testing (PT), and magnetic particle testing (MT). We can team to provide radiographic testing (RT) when requested.

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