Department of Transportation, automotive manufacturers, commercial
contractors, fabricators, machine shops, refineries and other businesses. The
region’s manufacturers are well within reach of TRIS field testing capabilities.
"At TRIS Mississippi, we have fast turn-around service, and our inspectors have
years of experience doing non-destructive testing," said Andy VanAusdall,

and easy for manufacturers in the area to ship products for an NDE inspection
or for us to mobilize to their facility. At the same time, TÜV Rheinland has a
network of global operations to assist the customer, no matter where in the
world they sell."
The new operation is located at 199 Interstate Drive, Suite A, in Richland, Miss.,
and will be managed by Daniel Britt. Britt has 11 years of experience in the NDE
