Industrial & Technical Inspection
Pre-shipment, in-process and final inspection of equipment, machinery and components against purchase specification, technical drawings and the codes your contract references — an independent check before goods leave the shop floor or are accepted into service.
Whether you're buying fabricated equipment from a new vendor or accepting a critical component into an existing asset, the risk is the same: what gets delivered has to match what was ordered, on paper and in practice. Alpha PrüfKontor sends a senior inspector to verify that directly, at the vendor's premises or on your site, rather than asking you to take a supplier's word for it.
Every engagement starts with a written Inspection Test Plan agreed before work begins, so hold points, acceptance criteria and reporting format are settled up front — not negotiated at the point of a failed inspection.
