X Ray services are done on site and in the field.
Welder Qualifications are done on site at Southern Inspection.
Utility locating is accomplished with exact accuracy. Southern Inspection has multiple methods of detection. Our GPR is just one area of technology used by Southern Inspection for locating underground utilities.
X Ray Testing is a service of Southern Inspection. The X rays are done in our facility and also in the field. The mobile unit is equipped with complete processing equipment to perform the field X ray on site and pull up the results of the test moments later right at the job site.
A WPS is a document that describes how welding is to be carried out in production.  They are recommended for all welding operations and many application codes and standards make them mandatory. What information should they include? Sufficient details
You contract work that needs to be in accordance with the American Welding Society will need an copy of your welding procedures. Southern Inspection can write your welding procedures for you. This particular procedure in the photo is "Tube Sheet Mock Up". We will

Southern Inspection uses phased array technology and instrumentation for non destructive testing. A transducer sends angled beams of sound through the test object. The phased aspect of the procedure individually pulses resulting in timed sound waves. The multiple beam angles cause an array that identifies any changes in the material such as cracks.

Southern Inspection performs Visual Inspections of material on site and in the field. The trained eye and certifications of our craftsmen insure proper visual identification of material conditions. If further testing is required , Southern Inspections Certified inspectors will
Ultrasonic Testing is a service of Southern Inspection. This Page is being built with the information pertaining to Ultrasonic Testing. It will be up shortly. In the meantime please call our office at (504) 347 - 1752. Someone will be on call to answer your questions on this service.
Southern Inspection performs Tensile test in our facility using a tensile test machine. The product is prepared for code specifications and undergoes tensile strength testing procedures under controlled conditions. The tests are inexpensive and fully standardized. The product is drawn
Post Tension Cable (PT cable) reinforced structures use steel cables as strengthening components. These cables are tensioned prior to removal of the forms during original construction. Repair of the concrete in PT cable reinforced slabs is somewhat different that in conventionally reinforced slabs. The main reason
Demands on engineering are ever increasing pushing the boundaries of material capabilities to their extremes relative to their original designs and practical uses. The identification of proper material becomes ever more important. Additionally, the proper material identification is vital for specification including
Metallurgical Testing is a service of Southern Inspection. This Page is being built with the information pertaining to metallurgical testing. It will be up shortly. In the meantime please call our office at (504) 347 - 1752. Someone will be on call to answer your questions on this service.
Magnetic particle inspection (MPI) is a non-destructive testing (NDT) process for detecting surface and subsurface discontinuities in ferrous materials. The process puts a magnetic field into the part. The piece can be magnetized by direct or indirect magnetization. Direct magnetization occurs when the electric current is passed
Southern Inspection has machining capabilities to create high end machined products according to customer specifications. Our knowledge of material specifications and codes further insure a more accurate and correct end product for customer tool and parts request as well as repair work. Our machining tools , equipment and craftsmen
Hardness Testing is a service of Southern Inspection. They have the capabilities to perform various testing to determine material hardness. Southern Inspection performs the Vicker, Rockwell, Brinell, etc. testing to name a few on
GPR. Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) is a geophysical method that uses radar pulses to image the subsurface. This is a non-destructive method using electromagnetic radiation in the microwave band (UHF / VHF )frequencies) of the radio spectrum, and detects the reflected signals from
Dye Penetrant. Southern Inspection test with Liquid Penetrant to determine failures and imperfections in material. The object is cleaned and then coated with a visible or fluorescent dye solution. At the correct testing time a developer is applied to bring out the flaw in the material that is
Corrosion Testing. Practically all metal will corrode. Southern Inspection's instrumentation and expertise can scientifically determine at what rate and intensity that a given metal will do so under certain accelerated conditions. The importance
Concrete Coring. Diamond Core Drilling equipment is used to core through concrete in a quiet manner in a less disruptive process. It is dust free in comparison to unconventional hammering. Southern Inspections Concrete Coring services can be relied upon to core through steel reinforcing rods with little to no difficulty. This process
