NDT Inspection in Katy & Greater Houston
Prime Inspections is headquartered in Katy, at the center of the Gulf Coast energy corridor — with crews built for data center, LNG and pipeline work.
Staffed Prime Inspections office
Katy is home base for Prime Inspections. From here our certified technicians cover one of the largest concentrations of energy infrastructure in the country — the Houston Ship Channel, the Gulf Coast LNG build-out, and the wave of hyperscale data centers rising across the metro.
We are deliberately not a generalist shop chasing every job in Houston. Prime focuses where the work is technical and the tolerances are tight: mainline and station welds on pipelines, and the methods and codes that mission-critical data center piping and cryogenic LNG process piping call for.
Because we are local, we can mobilize quickly when a Gulf Coast project needs a radiographer or an AUT crew on site.
Why the work is here
- Houston Ship Channel refineries, terminals and petrochemical plants
- Gulf Coast LNG liquefaction and export facilities
- Hyperscale and colocation data center construction across the metro
- Midstream gathering, transmission and station work feeding the coast
