YEAR : 2945 T.G.S. was anonymously gifted to Michael Speaker for his “excellence in engineering and work ethic”
The Gold Skulltulas continues to grow with the high demand for custom rigs and shipping services needed for an expanding horizon.
T.G.S. started out as a custom ship fittings hub and inspection station and now has expanded into the exploration and personal goods shipping market.
T.G.S. is always looking in to new endeavors and would love to join you in your future projects.
Our Mission
To consistently provide the highest quality consulting engineering, testing, and inspection services. Our talented and knowledgeable professionals use innovative technology to provide services of unmatched value. We are committed to client service excellence, safety, and maintaining a financially strong organization, while encouraging individual achievement.
Materials & Special Testing
TGS offers a complete range of mechanical testing services. A well-equipped in-house machine shop provides timely preparation of test specimens or any special fixturing. Our experienced test engineers can also help you design custom special testing programs to test your products.
Weld Testing and Weld Qualifications
TGS welding engineers ensure industry standards are maintained by assisting in preparing welding procedure specifications and weld procedure and performance qualifications.
TGS uses a wide variety of techniques and standards such as ASME, AWS, API and PED/EN to serve our clients’ vast weld testing needs. Many companies require their welders be qualified, and at TGS we are able to test all aspects of weld procedure and performance qualifications by conducting destructive and nondestructive tests to ensure conformance to code requirements.
Special Testing
TGS is equipped to handle customized Load Tests, Pressure Tests, Accelerated Life Cycle Tests and Wear/Fatigue Tests. Our Special Testing Group has the equipment and knowledge to satisfy a wide variety of testing requirements.
Load Testing
TGS has performed numerous load tests on a variety of items ranging from space shuttle parts to hand railings. We can perform this testing in-house or on-site using customer supplied fixtures or fixtures designed by TGS specifically for our clients. Our engineers work closely with our clients to simulate life-like scenarios to achieve the most accurate test results.
Pressure Testing
TGS has the capability to perform pressure tests, both in-house and in the field. Our pressure capabilities range from vacuum to 20,000 psig. With these capabilities, we are able to test a large variety of items from proof pressure testing nuclear plant components to burst testing copper tubes.
Hardness Testing
TGS can accommodate the needs of our clients in the hardness testing area with capabilities in various hardness scales such as, Brinell, Rockwell, Superficial Rockwell, Webster, Barcol, Leeb, Knoop and Vickers. (On-site and Lab Testing)
Strain Gage Testing & Strain Measurements
Strain gages are used to determine material stress due to static and dynamic loads coming from internal and external sources such as mechanical, thermal and pressure. TGS can apply the appropriate strain gage type to the test surface, perform data acquisition and provide results to assist in identifying the stress levels to avoid mechanical failure or fatigue. The data can also assist you in verifying your design criteria and/or validate your finite element analysis results.
Engineering
Mechanical, civil, chemical, industrial, and materials engineers provide a wide range of services to all industries. Through good engineering practice and hands-on practical problem solving, we help clients reduce risk and cut cost. We accomplish this by assessing existing equipment and designing repairs and retrofits while focusing on safety and economics.
