About TCI
Nondestructive testing across industries.
Two Coast Inspections was founded in 2019. We support inspection programs for customers in defense, energy, aerospace, manufacturing, and infrastructure from offices on both sides of the country.
Company Overview
Who we are.
Two Coast Inspections is a nondestructive testing company. We perform phased array and conventional ultrasonic testing, magnetic particle, liquid penetrant, visual, eddy current, PMI, and infrared inspection, along with certified welding inspection and NDT Level III services.
Our customers span naval shipbuilding and defense, aerospace, power generation, oil and gas, industrial manufacturing, and infrastructure. Across all of them, we recruit, qualify, and manage inspectors at the scale each job needs — from a single specialist to large teams covering multiple shifts on long-term programs.
East Coast Operations runs from Hampton, Virginia, and West Coast Operations from Farmington, New Mexico. Together they support customers across the United States.
Operating Philosophy
How we approach inspection.
01
Work to the requirement
Every examination follows the procedure, specification, and acceptance criteria that govern it. If a requirement is unclear, we resolve it before the work goes ahead.
02
Answers from people who know the method
Our Level III personnel support inspectors in the field on procedures, techniques, and indication questions, so technical issues get settled quickly.
03
Leadership close to the work
Nik Whirry and Kevin Branning each lead one of our operating regions. Customers deal directly with the people who make decisions.
04
Records that hold up
An inspection is only as useful as its record. Reporting is treated as part of the job, not paperwork afterward.
Workforce & Technical Management
Inspection capacity with technical depth.
Large inspection programs need two things at once: enough qualified inspectors, and the technical structure to keep their work consistent.
- Recruiting and qualifying NDT technicians and welding inspectors
- Mobilizing and supervising teams across shifts and project sites
- Procedure development, review, and personnel certification by our Level III personnel
- Continuity of crews and supervision on long-term programs
Geographic Reach
Operations on both sides of the country.
Two operating offices support inspection work for customers nationwide.
Executive Leadership
Owner-led. Directly accountable.
Two Coast Inspections is owned equally by Nik Whirry and Kevin Branning, who each lead one of the company's operating regions.
