West Texas Field Services

Odessa's Trusted NDT Provider for Oilfield and Industrial Work

Odessa is one of the most active oilfield equipment and fabrication hubs in the country. Between the fabrication shops along Grandview Avenue, the tank battery construction crews operating across Ector County, and the pipeline work stretching into Andrews, Crane, and Ward counties, demand for qualified NDT inspection in this market never slows down. Arc Inspection Services has worked in West Texas for over 30 years and understands the pace and expectations of Permian Basin operators.

Our Odessa-area services cover weld inspection on separator vessels and heater treaters, RT on pipeline girth welds, MT on structural and lifting equipment, and PMI on alloy process piping. We work directly with fabrication shops, construction contractors, and owner-operators — and we maintain the certifications required by the major oil companies active in the basin.

Arc Inspection Services is ISNetworld, PEC Safety, and Veriforce certified, ensuring our crews can access contractor-managed plant sites and oilfield locations without delay.
