Since 1983, RTI has gained a reputation for fulfilling this purpose in projects of every magnitude, complexity and dollar value. There are sound reasons for RTI's success. We started with the right people, qualified experts who pioneered much of the methodology that today's restoration industry recognizes as state of the art corrosion technology. Our supervisors average over 10 years with RTI and our technicians over 5 years. We understand the market we service from a comprehensive yet focused vantage point. With RTI, business interruption will be minimized because we have the successful experience and credentials to get it right the first time.
