Inspection and technical surveillance involve a thorough evaluation of materials, components, and production processes to ensure compliance with quality and safety standards. These services identify issues early, preventing problems during production and operation.
Source inspection and quality surveillance refers to the process of inspecting and verifying the quality of materials, components, and products at the supplier’s site before they are shipped to the purchaser. This proactive approach ensures that the items meet specified standards and requirements before they enter the production process or supply chain.
Pre-Shipment Inspections (PSI) or final random inspection (FRI) are a critical quality control process in international trade, ensuring that goods meet specified quality and compliance standards before shipment. Here’s an overview of the PSI process, its importance, and the key elements involved.
Welding inspection is a critical process in various industries to ensure that welded joints meet specified quality standards and safety requirements. This process involves evaluating the integrity of welds through various inspection methods and techniques, which can be classified into destructive (DT) and non-destructive testing (NDT).
Inspection as a Recognized Third-Party Organization (RTPO) for the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) involves assessing and verifying pressure equipment to ensure it meets the safety and quality requirements outlined by the PED.
In-service inspection of oil & gas and chemical production plants is a critical process aimed at ensuring the safety, reliability, and efficiency of equipment and infrastructure during its operational life. These inspections help to detect and address issues such as corrosion, wear, and mechanical damage before they lead to failures or accidents. Here are the key aspects of in-service inspection for oil and gas plants:
Underwater inspection by drones, also known as Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs), is an advanced method used for inspecting and monitoring underwater structures and environments. These drones are equipped with cameras, sensors, and sometimes robotic arms, allowing for detailed and precise inspections without the need for human divers. This technology is widely used in various industries, including oil and gas, maritime, and infrastructure maintenance.
Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) and Advanced Non-Destructive Testing (ANDT) play essential roles in ensuring the safety, reliability, and longevity of critical infrastructure and components. By employing these techniques, industries can detect defects early, prevent failures, and maintain high standards of quality and safety. With continuous advancements in technology, ANDT methods provide even greater precision and insight, further enhancing the capabilities of traditional NDT approaches.
Technical/quality assurance audits assess a company’s technical processes, quality systems, and capabilities to ensure they meet industry standards, regulatory requirements, and best practices. These audits are crucial for maintaining quality, safety, and efficiency in industries such as manufacturing, oil and gas, and construction.
