Inspection with purpose

Inspection that helps you make better asset decisions

Industrial assets need more than a visual check. Reliable inspection requires the right testing method, competent personnel, appropriate procedures and findings that engineers and maintenance teams can act on.

Our proposed service offering brings together non-destructive testing, pipeline inspection, welding quality checks, corrosion assessment and technical reporting to support safer, better-informed maintenance and project decisions.

  • Inspection planning based on your scope and risks
  • Testing methods suited to the component and material
  • Findings documented against agreed acceptance criteria
  • Clear communication of limitations and follow-up actions

API inspection standards

Standards-led inspection. Clear technical boundaries.

Different assets require different codes, inspection intervals, acceptance criteria and competencies. Identify the equipment and applicable edition first, then define the appropriate inspection scope.

API RP 1160

Recommended practice for managing the integrity of hazardous liquid pipelines. Its principles can inform risk assessment, integrity planning and prioritisation of mitigation activities.

API 1169

A certification programme for pipeline construction inspectors focused on new onshore pipeline construction. It should not be confused with a general pipeline maintenance certification.

API 653(Above ground Storage Tank Inspector)

Inspection, repair, alteration and reconstruction requirements for applicable in-service steel storage tanks.

API 510 (Pressure Vessel Inspection Code)

In-service inspection, rating, repair and alteration requirements for pressure vessels within the standard’s scope.

API Std 650

API Std 650 is the global industry standard published by the American Petroleum Institute that sets minimum requirements for the material, design, fabrication, erection, and inspection of vertical, cylindrical, aboveground, welded storage

API Std 610 (Centrifugal Pumps)

API Std 610 is the American Petroleum Institute (API) standard that specifies the mechanical, design, and testing requirements for centrifugal pumps used in the petroleum, petrochemical, and natural gas industries (including hydraulic power recovery turbines)

Remote visual inspection

Inspect hard-to-reach spaces without sending people in unnecessarily

Confined-space robotic inspection uses suitable cameras and robotic platforms to collect visual information from selected tanks, vessels, ducts and other industrial spaces. The approach can reduce exposure to confined-space hazards and work at height when the technology is appropriate for the task.

  • Remote visual surveys of suitable enclosed or restricted areas.
  • Image and video capture to support asset condition reviews.
  • Potential reduction in access equipment, entry requirements and operational disruption.
  • Review of findings by appropriately qualified personnel where required by the inspection scope.
