Serving South Texas

San Antonio's NDT Partner for Refining, Pipeline, and Industrial Work

San Antonio is a major crossroads for Texas energy and infrastructure, sitting at the intersection of the Eagle Ford Shale play, the Valero refining complex, and some of the most active military installation construction in the state. The diversity of industrial work in Bexar County and the surrounding South Texas region demands an NDT provider with the depth and flexibility to serve multiple industries under a consistent safety and quality framework.

Arc Inspection Services has supported San Antonio-area operators, contractors, and fabricators for over three decades. Our work here includes turnaround support at refineries, pipeline inspection for Eagle Ford gathering and transmission systems, structural inspection for military and government construction projects, and in-service inspection at chemical and water treatment facilities throughout Bexar, Guadalupe, Comal, and Atascosa counties.

We maintain ISNetworld, PEC Safety, and Veriforce certifications and carry the required insurance and safety documentation to access major industrial sites throughout the San Antonio area.
