Precision where failure is not an option.

Six nondestructive testing methods. Forty-three years of field data. One team engineered to find what the naked eye — and your tolerances — cannot.

Four decades.
Zero compromises.

Since 1983 we’ve been the small, U.S.-owned lab behind some of the country’s most scrutinized inspections — from aerospace payloads to naval critical systems.

02 · NDT Methods

Six methods. One lab. Every scale.

Each capability is owned by certified technicians and audited against industry codes — so your report holds up in the field, on the line, and under review.

NDT/01GPR

Ground Penetrating Radar

Locate rebar, conduits, voids and embedded anomalies in concrete before you cut, core or drill — protecting crews and schedules.

Subsurface · Concrete
NDT/02PT

Liquid Penetrant

Reveal minute surface-breaking defects in non-porous parts using visible or fluorescent penetrant — fast, auditable, and portable.

Surface · Non-porous
NDT/03MT
N S

Magnetic Particle

Expose surface & near-surface discontinuities in ferromagnetic materials — carbon, steel, iron, nickel — through magnetic field disruption.

Ferromagnetic
NDT/04RT

Radiography

Field X-ray & gamma with immediate results. In-house micro- and mini-focus imaging delivers enhanced resolution via film, DR panels, and CR plates.

Volumetric · X-ray · γ
NDT/05UT

Ultrasonic Testing

High-frequency sound waves reveal exact depth and location of internal irregularities and wall-thickness variations — no radiation, no downtime.

Internal · Thickness
NDT/06VT
VT-1 CWI

Visual Testing

Certified CWI & VT technicians guide inspection strategy from day one, catching what others miss and reducing rework before it starts.

Not sure which method you need?

Answer three quick questions and we’ll rank the methods best-matched to your component, conditions, and specification — in real time.

1 What's the material?

2 What are you trying to find?

3 Where does the work happen?

05 · Field notes

Technical teams trust MQC when the tolerance is zero.

06 · Accredited

Audited. Registered.
Third-party verified.

The MQC report carries real weight because every procedure traces back to a current, externally audited quality system.
