Formed to do NDT properly.
Midgard Scientific, LLC was founded to provide first-class nondestructive testing — not just inspectors for hire, but the procedures, training, and program discipline that make an inspection mean something.
Military inspection roots
Our leadership and technical staff came up through military nondestructive inspection and nuclear programs across the service branches, then spent years in civilian NDT before forming Midgard. That combination shows up in how we work: military documentation discipline applied to commercial deadlines.
Quality workmanship, standards compliance, and rigorous record keeping are the core of it. The NDT industry has spent a long time on paper and antiquated data collection — we would rather help move it forward than defend the way it has always been done.
Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business
Midgard Scientific is owned and operated by military veterans and retirees from across the service branches, and is registered as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business and Self-Certified Small Disadvantaged Business.
How we decide things
-
Integrity
Reputation is everything. A reputation that took years to build can be undone by one lapse in judgement. Nobody is perfect, but we do what's right whether or not anyone is watching.
-
Service
Client relationships matter. Whether you need Level II support for a single job or full Responsible Level III consultation, the client's requirement comes first.
-
Excellence
We begin with quality, then improve. We would rather finish a few jobs to a high standard than spread thin across many. The goal is to get it right the first time.
-
Success
Fortune favors the bold. Every job gets treated as the most important one we've had. Doing things the same way purely because that's how they've been done is not a strategy.
Standards we work and certify to
Our staff meets the requirements of a range of codes and standards. If you certify to something not listed here, ask — the list below is where we spend most of our time, not a limit.
ASNT recommended practice for qualification and certification of NDT personnel.
NAS certification standard for aerospace and defense NDT personnel.
Standard for qualification and certification of nondestructive testing personnel.
Naval Sea Systems Command requirements for shipboard and submarine work.

What that means in practice
Inspection
A full suite of Level II field assistance worldwide — PT, MT, ET, UT, RT, VT and CWI — with inspectors qualified for the method they're performing.
Consulting
Responsible Level III support: program development and management, procedure writing and validation, audits, compliance, and third-party oversight.
Education
Classroom and on-site training at your facility or ours, delivered by certified Level III instructors, through examination and certification.
Transitioning out of the service?
The military trains members in multiple NDT methods, then posts them where they may use only some of them. It's common to build deep experience in a few methods while going years without touching others — and to lose the paperwork proving any of it.
We can help close those gaps. If you're a veteran or currently serving and you need to refresh existing NDT knowledge, add formal training hours, or recover and verify prior service training records, get in touch. If you're an employer hiring a veteran and can't make sense of a cryptic military training history, we can help with that too.
Let's talk about your program
Whether it's one inspection or an entire NDT program that needs building from scratch, start with a conversation.
