Third-Party Inspection

Independent verification of equipment, materials and manufacturing activities against the drawings, specifications, inspection and test plans and codes agreed for your project. Purchasers need confidence that what is being built at a supplier's facility matches what was ordered, before it ships and before problems become expensive to fix on site.

The scope typically includes before manufacturing: document and drawing review, ITP review, pre-inspection meeting and manufacturing schedule review; during manufacturing: material verification, dimensional inspection, welding surveillance, NDT witnessing, heat treatment monitoring, coating inspection, hydrostatic and pneumatic test witnessing and functional and factory acceptance testing (FAT); final inspection: final dimensional and visual inspection, nameplate and marking verification, preservation and packing checks and documentation review and release. The exact scope is agreed for each project.

Work is performed to the codes and specifications agreed for each project, such as ASME, API, EN, ISO and Client specifications.

Inspection reports with findings and photographs, Inspection release notes, where agreed, Non-conformance records and close-out status and Final documentation review summary.
