Services
Tank Maintenance Inspection
NTEC conducts comprehensive tank maintenance inspections to assess structural integrity and coating conditions. Our certified inspectors use advanced tools like submersible cameras to evaluate hard-to-reach areas, ensuring compliance with safety standards. Regular inspections help municipalities identify issues early, reducing long-term repair costs and extending infrastructure lifespan.
Corrosion Evaluation
Our corrosion evaluation services identify degradation causes in water storage facilities through testing and analysis. We assess coating failures, perform lead and hardness tests, and recommend preventive measures. This proactive approach mitigates risks, ensuring regulatory compliance and minimizing maintenance expenses for industrial clients.
3D Modeling Services
NTECs 3D modeling creates customized tank visuals incorporating client-specific colors, logos, and layouts. This tool aids in design approval by simulating how features will appear on the final structure. It ensures accurate sizing for lettering and logos, optimizing aesthetic and functional outcomes for elevated or ground storage tanks.
Mixing System Consultation
We design mixing systems to eliminate thermal stratification in water tanks using bottom, surface, or manifold configurations. Our engineers analyze tank dynamics to recommend systems that improve water quality and reduce trihalomethanes. Solutions are tailored for elevated tanks, standpipes, and clearwells, enhancing operational efficiency.
Structural Evaluations
NTEC performs structural evaluations of water storage tanks to assess load-bearing capacity and identify weaknesses. Our engineers use field data to develop repair specifications, ensuring compliance with safety codes. This service extends asset life and prevents failures in critical infrastructure.
