Our company name is a relatively recent development but our roots in NDT, inspection and materials engineering go back more than 5 years. The adoption of a RAISE name was symbolic of what we saw as an opportunity to better serve our customers by pooling the collective experience of our industry veterans to identify and institutionalize best practices. We have been working diligently to make the vision a reality by investing in technology and back office systems, adding functional support personnel and establishing common operating procedures in safety, quality assurance and human resource management.
