Affordable NDT ERP in New York — Fully Customizable, Every Business App You Need Included

NDT software in New York: construction, bridges, utilities and power

New York City's inspection market looks nothing like a refinery town. A large share of NDT work here is tied to construction: structural steel welds on high-rises, hospitals, transit projects and infrastructure, inspected as part of the special inspections the NYC Building Code requires, with the inspecting agency registered with the Department of Buildings. UT on complete-joint-penetration welds, MT on fillet welds and VT to AWS D1.1 are the daily bread. On top of that sits one of the densest concentrations of steel bridges in the world, owned by NYC DOT, MTA Bridges and Tunnels and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, with the George Washington, Verrazzano-Narrows and East River crossings all needing periodic steel inspection.

Utilities add a steady base of work. Con Edison runs the largest district steam system in the United States under Manhattan's streets, plus gas and electric networks that need inspection whenever mains are replaced or repaired. Power plants in Queens, such as Ravenswood and the Astoria generating stations, run their own outage cycles, and upstate the Indian Point site is being decommissioned by Holtec. The Brooklyn Navy Yard and harbour marine work bring vessel and waterfront inspections. Radioactive materials licensing inside the five boroughs runs through the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, separate from New York State, and industrial radiography in the city often happens at night with tight exclusion zones. The typical New York NDT contractor is a lean firm with a mix of construction special-inspection jobs and utility or infrastructure contracts, many small jobs a week, and technicians who spend a lot of time in traffic.

ERP for NDT companies in New York

The Atlantis ERP solution is a fully customized ERP for NDT and inspection companies. It puts technician certifications, procedures, equipment calibration, crew dispatch, NDT reports, quoting, timesheets and invoicing into one system, which suits a New York firm juggling many short jobs across several boroughs rather than a few long turnarounds.

Atlantis NDT, founded by ASNT NDT Level III Anoop Rayavarapu, configures the ERP around your methods, your clients' formats and the way you bill construction and utility customers, and supports it after go-live. It is browser-based with an offline field app that keeps working in basements, tunnels and steel box girders. The positioning is affordable, accessible and fully customizable, with a demo and quote on request. See every module on the ERP apps page.

Project and job records for New York special inspections

The Project app stores each NDT job with job type, site, client PO, contract, methods, codes, scope, acceptance criteria, assigned equipment and technicians, job status, and safety induction and work permit fields. Tasks inside the project carry method, technician, component, result, indication and defect counts, and procedure and WPS references.

For construction work in New York, that structure maps well to how special inspection jobs actually run. A single high-rise may involve dozens of site visits over months as steel goes up floor by floor. Each visit becomes a task with the component inspected, the method, the result and the number of indications, all linked to the WPS and procedure in use, so when the engineer of record or the DOB asks for the history of a connection, it is in one place. The safety induction and work permit fields matter on sites where every trade must complete an orientation before stepping onto the floor, and on utility jobs that need a permit before a manhole is opened. See the Project app.

Crew dispatch and scheduling software for New York inspection jobs

Team Assignments turns each job into a dispatch record that moves from planned to dispatched, in field, submitted and closed. Technicians and equipment serial numbers cannot be double-booked, and the system warns you if equipment on an assignment is out of calibration.

New York scheduling is a volume problem: many short visits, frequent same-day calls from general contractors when steel erection moves faster than planned, and night work for radiography and for utility jobs. The technician availability calendar holds assigned, leave, training, sick and unavailable days with overlaps blocked, and every technician shows status, current assignment, utilisation percentage and next available date. Site GPS coordinates help when the address on a PO is a whole city block or a bridge approach, and mobilisation and demobilisation dates keep longer infrastructure jobs visible. Calendar, kanban and list views let a dispatcher see the day at a glance and move jobs as calls come in. See the Team Assignments app.

Technician certification tracking software for New York firms

The Certificates app records each technician's certifications by scheme (SNT-TC-1A, CP-189, ISO 9712, PCN, CSWIP or other), level, method, certifying body, industry sector and dates, and computes status as active, expiring soon, expired or revoked. A daily check creates warning tasks 90 days before any certificate or vision test expires.

Construction and infrastructure clients in New York audit qualifications closely, and a lapsed certificate discovered after the fact can put an entire run of reports in question. Vision tests are tracked with near vision (Jaeger J1/J2), far vision, colour perception, contrast, examiner, clinic and expiry. Examination sheets hold general, specific and practical scores against a passing score. The employee NDT profile records highest level, methods certified, radiation safety training, radiation badge number and medical fitness expiry, which your RSO needs for radiographers working under a city licence. Many New York inspectors also hold welding inspector credentials or client-specific qualifications; those can be recorded under the other scheme with their own dates. Timesheets warn when anyone books hours without a valid certificate, and configurable daily email alerts go to the people you choose. See the Certificates app.

NDT reporting software for structural steel, bridges and steam lines

The NDT Reports app provides 17 report types with method-specific fields: UT, RT, MT, PT, VT, ECT, IRIS, PAUT, MFL, TOFD, PWHT, PMI, hardness, UT thickness, ferrite, holiday testing and computed radiography. Reports move from draft to in progress, review, approved and sent, with inspector, reviewer and approver signatures and a third-party inspector signature where the project requires it.

For structural steel, UT reports carry the probe calibration table and weld lines record defect type and orientation, while MT reports capture technique and particle type. For bridge work, UT thickness readings by direction, MT on welded details and VT cover most of the scope. For steam and gas lines, RT reports record source, technique, IQI type and placement, and computed radiography has its own report type. Each report captures work order, request, WPS, contract, drawing, procedure and standard references, and closes with acceptable, not acceptable or acceptable with remarks.

The offline field app matters in New York more than most places. Signal disappears inside steel box girders, in tunnels, in sub-basements and in utility vaults. The app stores drafts and photos locally and syncs later, with a method picker, photo capture, on-screen signature and PDF preview. Client and engineer formats are handled by versioned templates in Excel, Word, PDF or HTML. See the NDT Reports app and Digital Twin Reporting Software.

Written procedures for AWS, ASME and client work

The Procedures app is a controlled register with document number, revision, method, scope, material, applicable standard, acceptance criteria and the text or file. Revisions move through draft, submitted, reviewed, approved and published, with rejection reasons, locked approved revisions and a snapshot of every revision.

A New York firm typically maintains UT and MT procedures written around AWS D1.1 for buildings, bridge-specific procedures for DOT and authority work, and ASME Section V procedures for power and steam piping. Being able to show exactly which revision was current on the date of an inspection answers most audit questions. Approvers receive reminders for pending approvals, and an AI-assisted first draft speeds up new procedures, always reviewed and approved by a Level III. See the Procedures app.

Calibration management software for New York equipment

Asset Management tracks every flaw detector, gauge, yoke, probe and radiography accessory by serial number, with lifecycle status, condition, firmware, accessories, calibration frequency and next due date, plus full calibration records and a certificate register with the lab's accreditation number and expiry alerts.

In a city where technicians often keep a kit in their vehicle for days at a time, the issue and return workflow, with supervisor and manager approval and condition recorded both ways, keeps track of who has what. Reservations prevent clashes, dispatch warns before an out-of-calibration unit goes out, and the maintenance log covers cleaning, firmware updates and probe replacements. Consumables such as MT particles, penetrant, developer and PPE carry reorder levels. See the Asset Management app.

NDT quoting and invoicing software for New York contractors

Quotations include job type, site, project dates and applicable codes, NDT service products by method and category, a branded PDF and online acceptance that converts into a sales order. Invoices carry project, job or PO number, site, invoice type and industry sector, with labour, equipment and consumables subtotals.

Construction clients usually want invoices that line up with site visits and minimum-call terms; utilities want PO lines. Timesheets record inspection, travel, standby and setup with method, site, client, equipment serial, billable flag, overtime multiplier for night work and approval, and approved hours flow into invoice lines by cost centre, method, equipment serial and technician. Expenses such as parking, tolls and bridge crossings are recorded and re-billed to the job. The financial dashboard shows revenue, cost of sales, gross margin, operating expenses, EBITDA and outstanding invoices over twelve months. See Quotations and Invoicing.

Vehicles, sources and client feedback

The Fleet app records whether each vehicle can carry radioactive sources, its transport licence number and expiry, and its assignment to projects and drivers with dates and mileage. Surveys can be used for client feedback after each project and for technician competency questionnaires, and the CRM tracks leads by service line and industry sector with a 0 to 100 lead score. See Fleet and CRM.

Inspection management software in New York: implementation

Implementation is remote and scheduled around your working week. It begins with discovery of your methods, clients, report formats and billing terms; then technicians, certificates, vision tests, equipment and calibration certificates are imported from spreadsheets; report and quotation templates are rebuilt; and the open REST API connects to QuickBooks, NetSuite, SAP, Maximo or any system that accepts API connections, scoped per implementation. Office staff are trained first, then field technicians on the offline app. Anything specific to your operation that is not built in is configured during implementation. Ask for a New York implementation plan.
