Recently, two of our engineers, Will Norton and Gary Gathright, attended the NTTC Cargo Tank Test & Inspection Course, which was held in St. Louis by the National Tank Truck Carriers (NTTC). The course was designed to educate participants on the inspection and recertification of cargo tanks, especially those used for on-road transportation.
At Ledwell, we manufacture tankers under specific regulations set by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), specifically DOT 407/412 vacuum tanks. These regulations are revised every few years, so our team must stay up-to-date. The course was a refresher for Gary, who is already a certified design engineer, and an important step for Will to become a design-certifying engineer.
The training emphasized ensuring that the designs and processes we use for our tankers meet the latest safety and legal standards. By staying current with these regulations, we ensure that the vacuum tanks we build are compliant with the law and safe for everyone on the road.
