NDT appointment setting: get on the approved vendor list before the turnaround
Most NDT work is awarded months before a technician mobilizes, when the plant builds its outage scope or the fabricator picks an inspection partner for a new contract. We book meetings with the integrity, QA/QC and maintenance people who make those calls, so your company is qualified and on the list when the work is scheduled.
Ask Ava anything about selling NDT services
Where the pipeline comes from
The accounts a NDT program calls
- Refineries, chemical and petrochemical plants
Piping, pressure vessels and tanks on inspection intervals, plus turnaround scopes that need UT, PAUT, radiography and visual crews on short notice.
- Power generation and utilities
Boilers, turbines, welds and transmission structures inspected during planned outages, with work planned well ahead of the outage date.
- Steel fabricators and pressure vessel shops
Weld inspection and QA/QC tied to code and customer requirements on every job. Shops without in-house Level III support need a reliable partner.
- Pipeline and midstream operators
Integrity programs, new construction and repair digs all need weld and corrosion inspection across a wide area.
- Heavy civil and structural contractors
Bridges, structural steel and special inspections on building projects, where the GC or owner hires testing and inspection by project.
- Aerospace and heavy manufacturing
Castings, forgings and critical components inspected to customer specifications, often as recurring outsourced work.

Reasons to call
What opens a NDT account
- Planned outages and turnarounds
Scopes are built and contractors chosen long before the shutdown. Calling early is how you get included instead of asked to fill gaps.
- A failure, leak or regulator finding
An incident pushes inspection intervals tighter and makes owners rethink whether their current provider caught enough.
- New fabrication or construction contracts
A fabricator or contractor who just won a large job needs weld inspection capacity they may not have.
- Moving to advanced methods
Owners replacing film radiography or manual UT with PAUT, TOFD or digital radiography look for providers with the equipment and qualified people.
- MSA renewals and vendor reviews
Master agreements come up on a cycle, and that is when a new provider gets a chance to prequalify.
How it works
Your NDT outbound program
- 01
Build the list
Plants, fabricators, operators and contractors in your coverage area, sorted by asset type, inspection methods needed and outage timing, with integrity and QA/QC contacts named.
- 02
Run the outreach
A dedicated U.S.-based SDR works phone, email and LinkedIn under your company name, leading with methods, certifications and mobilization capacity.
- 03
Book qualified meetings
Every meeting is with the right company, the right contact and a timing reason such as an outage, a new contract or a vendor review.
- 04
Nurture the rest
Accounts between outages stay in a follow-up cadence so you are in the conversation when the next scope gets planned.
What we fix
Why NDT pipelines stall, and what changes
- Work that arrives as emergencies
Outbound builds relationships ahead of planned outages and integrity programs, so your schedule fills with booked work instead of call-outs.
- Prequalification walls
The SDR learns each account's safety and qualification requirements early, so your team knows what paperwork is needed before the first meeting.
- Level IIIs and leads are in the field
Your SDR does the prospecting and follow-up, and your technical people only join meetings with a defined scope.
- Long gaps between turnarounds
Nurture keeps your name in front of planners between outages, so you are on the bid list the next time scope is built.

Questions
NDT and Inspection appointment setting, answered
What types of NDT work can outbound support?
UT, MT, PT, RT and VT, advanced methods like PAUT, TOFD and digital radiography, weld inspection and QA/QC, tank, piping and pressure vessel inspection, and structural or special inspection on construction projects.
How do you qualify inspection leads?
By asset type, methods needed, project or outage timing, qualification and safety requirements, and whether the contact can approve or influence the contractor choice.
Can you reach plants that already have an inspection contractor?
Yes. Most have more than one. The goal is to get prequalified and known to the planner before the next outage, so you are asked when scope is assigned.
Do you offer exclusivity?
Yes. We run one NDT and inspection program per market, so a competing provider will not get the same list or the same messaging.
What does a program cost?
Foundation is $5,000 a month and Growth is $8,500 a month, with Enterprise quoted to scope. The activity or appointment number is guaranteed in writing, and we keep working at no extra cost until we hit it.
