Turnarounds and shutdowns run on a fixed clock, and inspection can't be the reason a unit misses restart. Prime Inspections delivers certified non-destructive testing for refinery and petrochemical process piping, pressure vessels, and structural systems — planned work and emergency call-outs alike.
Our Level II and Level III technicians bring RT, PAUT, AUT, TOFD, MT, and PT to live and shutdown units, producing documented, code-compliant reports that turnaround planners and inspection departments can act on immediately.
Certified Level II and Level III technicians, methods matched to the unit and the governing code.
RT, PAUT, and TOFD weld inspection on process piping circuits, matched to ASME B31.3 new construction or API 570 in-service acceptance.
UT, PAUT, and RT on pressure vessel welds, nozzles, and internals during fabrication, turnaround, and repair inspection.
Floor and shell UT thickness surveys, MT, and welded-seam inspection supporting API 653 tank inspection programs.
MT and PT on structural steel, pipe racks, and supports subject to vibration and thermal cycling in process units.
Digital radiography and AUT cut per-weld turnaround so inspection results feed the unit's restart timeline instead of holding it up.
Every weld and component reported against the governing code — API 570, API 653, or ASME B31.3 — ready for the inspection department's file.
Level II and Level III technicians holding ASNT and AWS certifications, experienced on live and shutdown process units.
Nationwide coverage across 11 locations with emergency call-out capability when an outage can't wait for the next planned window.
Prime covers the full method and industry range beyond refinery and petrochemical work.
Girth weld radiography and phased array UT for pipeline construction and integrity programs.
Single-scan weld imaging and corrosion mapping with PAUT and AUT.
Conventional RT, digital radiography (DR), computed radiography (CR), and real-time radiography (RTR).
Field radiography and AUT for new-construction pipeline weld quality under API 1104.
NDT for hyperscale, colocation, and AI data center mechanical and structural systems.
Cryogenic-rated inspection for LNG liquefaction, regasification, and export terminals.
In-service piping and equipment inspection typically follows API 570 (piping) and API 653 (aboveground storage tanks); new construction piping follows ASME B31.3. We inspect and report to the code named in your turnaround scope.
Yes — Prime mobilizes crews for planned turnarounds and shutdowns with 24/7 coverage to keep inspection off the schedule's critical path.
RT, PAUT, AUT, TOFD, MT, and PT, matched to wall thickness, material, and the access constraints typical of live refinery and petrochemical units.
