Structural Steel Inspection · Welding Consulting · Nondestructive Testing · UAV Services
Get the steel right — the first time.
Inspection is a judgment discipline. Codes set the acceptance criteria; field experience tells you where to look.
Structural steel inspection, welding consulting, nondestructive testing, and UAV services for bridges, buildings, tanks, and critical infrastructure across Florida and the Southeast.
A code-grounded second set of eyes on your steel.
The Metals Group, LLC supports engineers, owners, agencies, general contractors, and fabricators on projects where weld quality, structural connections, and NDT findings have to be defensible to the controlling code. Every finding is anchored to a specific clause and supported by photo evidence and drawing references.
TMG's role is observation and reporting. Authority to accept or reject work rests with the owner or the owner's designated representative.
