MISTRAS Group (NYSE: MG), a global leader in technology-enabled asset protection solutions, has entered a strategic partnership with Batchelor & Kimball (B&K), a leading mechanical and plumbing contractor, to deliver advanced non-destructive testing (NDT) inspection services for mission-critical data center projects.
As part of the collaboration, MISTRAS will deploy a range of specialized NDT services—including ultrasonic shearwave testing, magnetic particle testing, liquid penetrant testing, ultrasonic phased array, and computer radiographic testing—to strengthen the safety, reliability, and efficiency of data centers built by B&K.
With global demand for data centers surging, reliability and uptime have become defining factors for operators. The MISTRAS–B&K alliance integrates B&K’s mechanical contracting expertise with MISTRAS’ advanced NDT capabilities, ensuring that infrastructure is inspected to the highest standards before commissioning.
The move also reflects MISTRAS’ diversification strategy, expanding into growth sectors where asset reliability is critical. By applying proven NDT technologies more commonly associated with aerospace, oil & gas, and power generation, MISTRAS is positioning itself as a key player in ensuring the structural and operational integrity of digital infrastructure.
Through this partnership, data centers will benefit from cutting-edge inspection methods that can detect flaws invisible to traditional testing, enabling predictive maintenance, reduced downtime, and enhanced long-term asset performance.
