Load Testing Services
Precision Load Testing for Lifting Systems, Structural Assemblies, and Critical Infrastructure.
At Nordholm Companies Inc. (NCI), we understand that validating lifting capacity, structural integrity, and engineered safety is critical to modern infrastructure and marine operations. Since 1976, we’ve provided precision load testing services that meet or exceed industry and regulatory standards—from proof load testing of custom lifting tools to structural stress testing of major assemblies.
With a 300-ton pull unit, a 500-ton test frame, and combined jacking capacity up to 1,000 tons, NCI operates one of the largest independent load testing capabilities in the Pacific Northwest. Every test setup is engineered and monitored by a licensed PE with 48 years of experience, using certified load measuring devices and certified union operators. We don’t just calculate capacity—we prove it under real-world conditions.
