Ensuring the safety, durability and compliance of structural building materials.
Large construction and renovation projects require quality materials from the point of fabrication to project site installation. Steel and concrete construction materials must maintain the highest level of integrity to ensure the safety of major buildings and infrastructure. Project success requires that these vital building materials work seamlessly for specified applications and satisfy precise inspection requirements set forth by regulations to meet applicable codes and standards of compliance.
TRC’s source inspection team works globally, bringing industry-leading technical expertise, long-standing supplier relationships and decades of experience in international logistics to exceed your local and global material sourcing requirements and expectations.
Our team includes materials engineers, shop inspectors and non-destructive testing (NDT) technicians with expertise in concrete and steel inspections. Our inspection processes follow a detailed fabrication inspection checklist, including visual observations, process monitoring, and dimensional accuracy. We also perform non-destructive evaluations like magnetic particles, liquid penetrants and ultrasonic testing.
Years of QA/QC experience
We ensure structural building projects are safe, durable and compliant with design standards and specifications. Our staff is highly credentialed, including American Welding Society Certified Welding Inspector (AWS CWI) and NDT qualifications from the American Society for Non-destructive Testing (ASNT).

Inspection Insights
Real-Time Data Sync. One-Click Reporting.
Conventional fabrication inspection practices aggregate electronic and paper forms and use manual data entry for regulatory reporting. TRC’s Inspection Insights generates complete reports at the click of a button, cutting months off the process.
Our Inspection Insights data solution collects cloud-based data that provides real-time insight into inspection procedures and outcomes.
Structural Steel and Non-Destructive Testing
TRC’s specialized materials engineers, non-destructive testing (NDT) technicians and steel fabrication inspectors ensure the integrity and safety of infrastructure components worldwide. We have experience inspecting projects including bridges, buildings, wind turbines, highway structures and pressure vessels, adhering to the ASNT Recommended Practice SNT-TC-1A and ANSI/ASNT CP-189/ISO 9712 certifications.
Our collaborative approach allows inspectors and engineers to work alongside NDT technicians, making evaluations that provide quick, detailed and cost-effective analysis for service fatigue, material selection, and durability recommendations.
Offshore Marine Inspection Services
TRC provides comprehensive marine inspection services for manufactured and fabricated components for the petrochemical and marine industries. Composed of internationally qualified inspectors well-versed in QA and QC documentation of marine-scale steel structures, they cover various arenas such as offshore oil platforms, ship hulls, pressure vessels, drilling derricks and Jack-up rigs, among others.
Services range from qualification reviews for welders, in-process and final inspections, vendor assessments, and implementation of advanced NDT procedures to corrosion mapping, pressure piping fabrication inspections and reviewing fabrication designs.
Precast/Prestressed Concrete Inspection
TRC provides comprehensive inspection services for the fabrication of precast and prestressed concrete products, which is vital in today’s construction industry. Plant inspectors utilize cutting-edge digital technology for documentation and act in a technical support role on behalf of clients, ensuring adherence to QA/QC programs, production standards, material certification and equipment calibration.
Our team oversees product storage and shipping procedures, verifies tension calculations, provides independent assurance support, and inspects prefabrication forms, rebar, cable, inserts and post-fabrication measurements.
