Inspection & Testing
Material verification, third-party and NDT inspection coordination, pressure testing and condition monitoring — so equipment is proven before it goes into service.
Overview
Inspection is the step that turns material into material you can trust. We verify every delivery against its documentation, arrange independent inspection where your specification calls for it, and test equipment before it ships or returns to service.
What’s included
- Receiving inspection — markings, dimensions, quantities and heat numbers against the PO and MTRs
- Third-party and source inspection at mills and manufacturers
- NDT coordination — UT, RT, MT, PT and PMI through qualified inspection agencies
- OCTG and line-pipe inspection — drift, EMI, thread inspection
- Hydrostatic, pneumatic and seat testing of valves and assemblies
- Pipeline and facility condition surveys
- Condition monitoring of rotating and HVAC equipment
