Inspection, testing and audit services
Eighteen services across four areas of work — third-party inspection and expediting, NDT and asset integrity, plant and field inspection, and quality, audit and compliance.
Third-Party Inspection & Expediting
Independent verification of what your supplier is building, before it ships.
Second & Third Party Inspection
Independent verification on your behalf at the supplier's works — or on the supplier's behalf against their customer's specification.
Vendor Inspection & Expediting
Inspection and progress expediting inside European factories for buyers sourcing equipment from Germany and the EU.
Vendor Assessment
Capability and quality-system assessment of a supplier before you place the order — not after the delivery disappoints.
Pre-Shipment Inspection
Final verification of quantity, condition, marking and packing before goods leave the supplier — the last point at which a problem is still cheap.
International Sourcing Inspection
Verification support for buyers sourcing across borders, where you cannot personally visit the works.
Project Inspection
Coordinated inspection across multiple suppliers and work packages for a single capital project.
NDT & Asset Integrity
Finding what a visual check cannot — in welds, vessels, tanks and piping.
Non-Destructive Testing (NDT)
PT, VT and leak testing by ASNT NDT Level II qualified technicians, with the method matched to the defect you are actually trying to catch.
Welding Inspection
Visual and procedural weld inspection, WPS and PQR review and welder qualification oversight, to ISO 3834 and EN 1090.
Corrosion & Erosion Assessment

On-site inspection during fabrication, shutdowns and project execution.
Industrial & Technical Inspection
Pre-shipment, in-process and final inspection of equipment, machinery and components against purchase specification.

Quality, Audit & Compliance
Systems, audits and documentation that stand up to scrutiny.
