01. Professionalism and Expertise

Twin Peaks, Inc. has grown from a small firm of only 10 inspectors to a leader in the special inspections industry that employs approximately 100 inspectors, technicians, professional engineers, and subject matter experts.


That growth has taught us the value of vigilant management and quality control. Our staff is highly analytical, skilled, and proficient in the services they provide. Continuous, active recruitment ensures that we hire only qualified candidates. In order to ensure top-notch service, when new staff are onboarded, employees partake in TPI’s in-house training program, where they receive educational resources and hands-on training; they also undergo regular evaluations conducted by senior staff.


As a result, TPI’s inspectors and technicians are competent and highly trained, as each inspector is proficient in his/her discipline(s) and trained to evaluate and analyze conditions in the field.


Many of TPI’s technicians and inspectors hold post-secondary and graduate degrees in architecture, civil, mechanical, electrical, and geotechnical engineering, as well as professional certifications. Our professional engineers and technical inspectors are certified by the following national organizations:


  1. American Concrete Institute (ACI)
  2. National Institute for Certification in Engineering Technologies (NICET)
  3. International Code Council (ICC)
  4. American Society for Nondestructive Testing (ASNT)
  5. American Welding Society (AWS)
  6. NorthEast Transportation Technician Certification Program (NETTCP)

Most of our inspectors possess multiple certifications, regularly take refresher courses, and pursue additional certifications. TPI’s professional advancement program encourages and supports each employee’s efforts to achieve the highest possible level of expertise.


02. Responsive and Reliable Service

Inspections and Laboratory Testing are service-based professions, as projects that require these services involve complex operations, coordination among team members, and demand inspection and test results to align with tight schedules and little-to-no margin of error. At TPI, scheduling your special inspections is simple and convenient. Services are on-time, thorough, and consistent. Additionally, our inspection reports are clear and concise.


Twin Peaks, Inc. is highly attuned to project timelines, budgets, and progress.

All dispatch information is digitally recorded, archived, and searchable, providing valuable data for internal quality control and project management.


Our dispatch team provides all necessary information to facilitate coordination between our clients and inspection staff, as qualified inspectors are assigned to perform inspections based on their level of experience, the number and type of professional certifications and degrees they possess, and their familiarity with the client and/or type of project. Field reports provide clear observations, conclusions, and next steps required for sign-off, as project managers familiar with assigned projects are ready to get in touch with you and help you find solutions to resolve any quality assurance issue.

Under TPI’s Quality Management System (QMS), the Laboratory Manager and Field Operations Supervisor evaluate technical staff periodically to ensure that their performance consistently meets TPI’s high professional standards and client expectations. Randomized field evaluations and spot checks further monitor our inspectors’ technical performance, knowledge, and abilities.


From an equipment management standpoint, all inspection and testing equipment have unique serial numbers for tracking. They are inventoried, calibrated, and maintained for optimum performance and operations, in compliance with procedures and adherence to AASHTO R‐18 and International Standard ISO/IEC 17025. Additionally, comprehensive in-house audits of our Quality Control System are performed annually, as required by our accreditation bodies.
