Affordable NDT ERP in Corpus Christi — Fully Customizable, Every Business App You Need Included

NDT software in Corpus Christi: one system for port, plant and fabrication work

NDT software in Corpus Christi has to serve a wider mix of clients than most Gulf Coast cities: ship and barge owners, crude export terminals, refineries, an LNG plant, a petrochemical cracker, offshore fabrication yards and aviation maintenance. The Atlantis ERP solution handles certificates, equipment, dispatch, reports and billing for all of them in one system, with marine and plant report formats side by side. Demo and quote on request.

The Port of Corpus Christi has become the leading US port for crude oil exports, with terminals along the Inner Harbor and across the bay at Ingleside, including the Enbridge Ingleside Energy Center. Refining is represented by Flint Hills Resources' East and West refineries, the Citgo refinery and Valero's refineries along the ship channel. Cheniere's Corpus Christi Liquefaction plant near Gregory has added its Stage 3 expansion, and ExxonMobil and SABIC's Gulf Coast Growth Ventures cracker runs in San Patricio County. Kiewit Offshore Services fabricates large structures in Ingleside, Steel Dynamics runs a flat-rolled steel mill in Sinton, and the Corpus Christi Army Depot overhauls military helicopters at Naval Air Station Corpus Christi.

A typical Corpus Christi NDT contractor therefore runs several trades under one roof: tank and terminal inspection, ship and barge thickness gauging for class, weld inspection for fabrication yards and plant construction, and maintenance inspection for refineries and chemical plants. Crews also drive inland to Three Rivers and the Eagle Ford. Salt air is hard on equipment, the Coast Guard's Sector Corpus Christi oversees the waterfront, radiography licensing is with the Texas Department of State Health Services, and hurricane season shapes the fall calendar.

NDT reporting software for marine and port inspection in Corpus Christi

NDT reporting software for Corpus Christi marine work has to produce class-ready report packs, not just readings. The Atlantis ERP has a marine mode: a vessel cover page and photo, inspection location and dates, and a PDF that merges the classification-society certificate, the inspector's Level II certificate and the calibration certificate into one pack, with inspection photos laid out two to a row.

The class library covers DNV, ABS, Lloyd's Register, BV, RINA, IRS and ClassNK, which matters in a port that sees tankers, tugs and barges under many flags. UT thickness reports log readings by direction for hull and tank plating surveys, and VT, MT and PT reports cover repair welds done in the yard or alongside. Every report goes through draft, in progress, review, approved and sent, with inspector, reviewer and approver signatures and a field for the surveyor or authorized inspector.

Because each of the 17 report types has its own numbering, a marine UTT report and a refinery PAUT report never share a sequence, and the office can pull all class work for a vessel in one list. On the dock or inside a tank, the offline field app stores drafts and photos locally and syncs later. See NDT Reports and Digital Twin Reporting Software.

Inspection management software for Corpus Christi terminals and tank farms

Inspection management software for crude terminals needs to keep tank, piping and coating inspection organised by site and client. In the Atlantis ERP, each job is a project with site, client PO, contract, methods, codes, scope, acceptance criteria, assigned equipment and technicians, and safety induction and work permit fields.

Tank-floor scanning is recorded in the MFL report type, with scan mode and item lines, and follow-up UT on flagged areas goes into a UT or UT thickness report on the same project. Coating inspection on tanks and pipe goes into the holiday/coating report type. Project tasks record method, technician, component, result, indication and defect counts, so the terminal's inspection coordinator can see which tanks are done and which have repairs pending. Your client's own inspectors work from those reports; the ERP keeps your side organised. If a terminal operator needs API tank inspection services, Atlantis NDT also provides inspection services, and Atlantis Digital Twins can show thickness findings on a 3D model of the tank.

Calibration management software in a salt-air environment

Calibration management software for Corpus Christi has to deal with equipment that wears faster near the water. The Atlantis ERP tracks every instrument and probe by serial number, with calibration frequency, status and next due date, and warns when equipment assigned to a job is out of calibration.

The maintenance log is where the salt shows up: preventive, corrective, repair, cleaning, firmware update and probe replacement entries, each with condition before and after. When a thickness gauge keeps coming back from dock work with corroded connectors, the history is there to decide whether to repair or retire it, and the lifecycle status moves through active, in calibration, in repair and retired. Calibration records store provider, certificate number, standard, range, uncertainty, accredited-lab flag and result, and the calibration certificate register keeps the lab's accreditation number and PDF, the same PDF that marine mode merges into a class report pack.

Issue and return with supervisor and manager approval, and condition recorded both ways, makes it clear which crew brought an instrument back wet. Consumables such as couplant, MT particles, penetrant and PPE carry reorder levels. In Purchase, calibration labs are recorded as vendors with accredited-lab flag, accreditation number and expiry, and purchase lines can be linked to a specific serial. See Asset Management and Purchase.

Technician certification tracking software across marine, plant and aviation work

Technician certification tracking software for a Corpus Christi contractor has to hold several kinds of qualification per person. The Atlantis ERP records each certificate with scheme, level, method, certifying body, industry sector, issue and expiry dates, OJT and training hours and attachments, and sets status automatically.

The same UT technician may hold an SNT-TC-1A-based certificate under your written practice for plant work and need a separate qualification for aviation clients, which can be recorded under the other-scheme option with its own sector, dates and hours. Technicians from marine backgrounds may carry ISO 9712, PCN or CSWIP certificates, all recordable. Vision tests, radiation safety training, badge numbers and medical fitness expiry live on the NDT profile, and daily checks raise warnings 90 days before anything lapses. Company certifications, such as your ISO accreditation, are tracked with alert days too. See Certificates.

Crew dispatch and scheduling software for the Coastal Bend

Crew dispatch software for Corpus Christi has to juggle short-notice ship work with planned plant jobs. Team Assignments moves each job from planned to dispatched, in field, submitted and closed, and blocks double-booking of technicians and equipment serials.

When a vessel arrives early and the owner needs thickness gauging before loading, the dispatcher can see who holds UT, who is free, and which gauges are calibrated and not reserved. Assignments carry site GPS coordinates, which helps when the same week covers the Inner Harbor, Ingleside, Gregory and a run inland to Three Rivers. The availability calendar handles leave, training, sick and unavailable days, and utilisation shows who is overbooked. The Fleet app records which vehicles can carry radioactive sources and their transport licence expiry. See Team Assignments and Fleet.

NDT quoting and invoicing software for Corpus Christi clients

NDT quoting and invoicing software should handle a one-day vessel job and a three-month construction contract with the same process. In the Atlantis ERP, quotations carry job type, site, project dates and applicable codes, NDT service products by method and category, and a branded PDF; clients accept and sign online and the quote becomes a sales order.

Invoices record project, PO number, site, invoice type and industry sector, so marine, terminal, refinery and aviation revenue can be reported separately. Lines carry cost centre, method, equipment serial, technician, rate type and days or hours, with subtotals for labour, equipment and consumables. Timesheets split inspection, travel, standby and setup, and field expenses are re-billed to jobs. The financial dashboard shows revenue, gross margin, EBITDA and outstanding invoices across 12 months, which shows which of your sectors actually carries the business. See Quotations and Invoicing.

ERP for NDT companies in Corpus Christi: selling to many sectors

An ERP for NDT companies in Corpus Christi should help you sell across sectors, not only deliver the work. The CRM records each lead's service line, NDT service type, industry sector, site country and estimated technicians and days, and scores it from hot to cold.

Leads can be imported from CSV, business cards photographed at a port or energy event become CRM leads in one click, and drip email sequences by service line keep ship managers, terminal operators and fabrication yards on separate tracks, with pause, resume and unsubscribe. AI-generated campaign emails can run on a model hosted on your own server. The company website's enquiry forms feed the CRM directly. For integration with accounting or client systems, the open REST API connects to QuickBooks, NetSuite, SAP, Maximo or any system that accepts API connections, scoped per implementation. See CRM.

Construction and fabrication work around the bay

Corpus Christi's industrial growth has brought steady construction and fabrication inspection: LNG train expansion at Gregory, cracker and derivative units in San Patricio County, new tanks and docks at the export terminals, and offshore and modular structures in Ingleside yards. That work needs weld-by-weld reporting on a large number of joints over months.

In the Atlantis ERP, weld and job lines on RT, PAUT and TOFD reports record each joint with defect type and orientation, linked to WPS, drawing, contract and work order numbers. PMI and ferrite reports cover stainless and alloy piping on the same project. Project tasks carry method, technician, component, result, indication and defect counts, so the QA manager can report repair rates to the EPC from live data. Your procedure register holds written procedures with revision, method, applicable standard such as ASME Section V and acceptance criteria; approved revisions are locked and every revision keeps a snapshot, and new procedures can start from an AI-assisted draft that your Level III reviews and approves. See Procedures.

NDT software for small NDT companies in Corpus Christi

Many Corpus Christi inspection companies are small: a few technicians who do thickness gauging on boats one week and MT on a fabrication job the next. For a small NDT company, the most useful starting set is NDT reports with marine mode, certificates and asset management with calibration. Those three answer the questions a class surveyor, terminal operator or fabricator asks first: who did the inspection, were they qualified, and was the gauge calibrated. Quoting and invoicing can follow, then dispatch, fleet and CRM as the team grows. Staff training on the system is included in rollout, and if your technicians need ASNT SNT-TC-1A-based NDT training, the eLearning portal and the Practical NDT 3D simulator are available.
