Strategically located to serve the Houston Ship Channel, Bay Port area, and the region’s heavy industry, WTI quickly built a reputation for excellence in welder qualification and welding procedure testing.
In January of 1997, Glenn Peloquin acquired Welder Testing Inc., bringing with him a wealth of industry expertise.

WTI broadened its range of welding qualification and procedure testing services, incorporating advanced testing methods to meet the evolving needs of industries such as oil & gas, petrochemical, shipbuilding, and power generation.
To further enhance its testing capabilities, WTI introduced a dedicated metallurgical testing lab, hiring a specialized lab manager to oversee material analysis. Additionally, the company added a new facility housing a machine shop, streamlining the preparation of test samples and reinforcing WTI’s commitment to precision and efficiency.
WTI earned recognition as an AWS Accredited Test Facility, solidifying its reputation as a trusted and highly qualified provider of welder qualification and procedure testing services. This accreditation validated WTI’s adherence to the highest industry standards for welding inspections and certifications.
