Atlantis NDT delivers ASNT and ISO 9712 aligned NDT training in Nevada: Level I, Level II and Level III programmes across ultrasonic, radiographic, magnetic particle, penetrant, eddy current and visual testing, plus API 510, API 570 and API 653 inspector preparation. Courses are authored and supervised by ASNT NDT Level III professionals.
The Nevada inspection market
The Tesla Gigafactory in Sparks/Storey County is expanding battery and Semi-truck production toward a 50,000-truck annual target and employs roughly 11,000 people, driving sustained demand for structural and pressure-system inspection on fast-growing manufacturing lines. Nevada Gold Mines, a joint venture between Barrick and Newmont, is the largest gold-mining complex in the US, and the Thacker Pass lithium project (Lithium Americas) is under active construction as part of Nevada's emerging role in US battery-material supply chains. The Nevada Test and Training Range and Creech Air Force Base support extensive unmanned-aircraft and weapons-systems testing infrastructure. Nevada has no meaningful oil refining or nuclear power, but the Gigafactory and the largest gold-mining complex in the country are two genuinely strong pillars for structural, pressure-vessel, and precision-manufacturing NDT.
