Our use of advanced drone technologies enables us to conduct high-risk aerial inspections and perform non-destructive examinations with precision. These cutting-edge drones can access hard-to-reach areas safely, allowing for thorough analysis without causing any damage to the structures being examined. This innovative approach not only enhances safety but also increases efficiency and accuracy in various industries.
Turner Specialty Services – NDE & Inspections
Since 1970, Turner Specialty Services (TSS) has been committed to ensuring the integrity and reliability of industrial assets through its non-destructive examination (NDE) and inspections group. As a leading service provider in the Gulf South, we offer clients state-of-the-art technologies like ultrasound, radiography, magnetic particle testing, and visual inspections. Our expertise empowers clients to make informed maintenance and repair decisions, enhancing the longevity, performance, and success of their industrial operations.
Advanced NDE Techniques
At TSS, we utilize a variety of non-destructive examination techniques to assess the condition and integrity of industrial assets. These techniques allow us to evaluate the internal and external components of machinery, piping systems, vessels, and more without causing any damage. Our certified technicians are trained in various NDE methods, including:
- Ultrasound Testing (UT): This technique uses high-frequency sound waves to detect flaws or defects in materials such as welds, castings, and forgings.
- Radiography (RT): X-ray or gamma rays are used in this method to capture images of hidden defects within structures.
- Magnetic Particle Testing (MT): This technique detects surface and near-surface defects in ferromagnetic materials by inducing a magnetic field and applying iron oxide particles.
- Visual Inspections (VT): Our technicians conduct thorough visual examinations of assets to detect any visible flaws or damages.
Benefits of NDE & Inspections
Regular NDE and inspections are crucial for maintaining safe, reliable, and efficient industrial operations. Some key benefits include:
- Early Detection: By utilizing advanced NDE techniques, potential issues can be detected early on, preventing costly repairs or equipment failures.
- Increased Safety: NDE and inspections help identify safety hazards before they become serious problems, ensuring a safe working environment for employees.
- Improved Efficiency: By identifying and addressing issues early on, NDE and inspections can help minimize downtime and maximize equipment efficiency.
Compliance: Many industries have regulatory requirements for regular inspections, and using NDE techniques ensures compliance with these standards.

UAV & Drone inspections
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are one of TSS’s latest inspection and NDE technologies. Drone inspections can be far safer than sending individuals out to do the work, especially when heights, potentially weakened structures, or confined spaces are involved. Drone inspections are also typically carried out in less time than other inspection methods.
TSS blends innovative UAV technology with traditional inspection methods by combining our UAV team with API inspectors to offer an all-inclusive, cost-efficient inspection. We can also provide a fleet of UAVs with multiple payloads. These drones can capture 4K video, thermography, and optical gas imaging, detecting and monitoring 20 industrial hydrocarbon gases.
