Inspection & Expediting
_
Supervision of Loading and Unloading
- Inspection during fabrication or for status checking are essential engineering services to guarantee that the material conforms to the international and contractual specifications agreed between buyer and supplier whether in raw material, partly or fully fabricated state. The aim of inspection is to ensure that the buyer receives the material or equipment in accordance with their requirements and for a fair and equitable inspection charge.
- Through these services, we make certain that equipment satisfying our customers’ quality need is provided on a timely basis.

Pre-Shipment Inspections
- Pre-Shipment Inspections is offered to exporters from the Korea and comprises a detailed inspection of equipment or materials after manufacture, but prior to shipment, The scope includes Quality (Conformance to specification), Quantity, Packing & Marking, Supervision of Loading, A Certificate of Inspection can be provided against a Letter of Credit and authorized by a Chamber of Commerce.
Packing and Marking Inspection
- The object of this service is to verify the packing material and its marking for its conformity with the specifications. The typical operations performed are
- Dentification of material or equipment before packing and checking its conformity with the specifications.
- Verification of the protection of packed equipment against humidity, distortion and other sources of damage.
- Verification of the conformity of packing material with the contractual specifications and with accepted practice.
- Verification of the conformity of marking with the contractual specifications and the handling requirements.
- Verification of the correct issue of documents such as packing lists, bills of landing, customs declarations
- Additional inspections and testing can be performed to confirm the suitability of packing materials to withstand transportation, loading and unloading operations.
Visual Inspection Before Shipping
- Examination of finished components before packing for general condition and conformity with the applicable specifications, technical characteristics, the number and location of accessories, surface finish, cleanliness, verification of quantity and weight, and general condition of paint and other protective coatings, This inspection is normally accomplished for all accessible parts without necessitating disassembly operations.
Witness of Performance Tests
- Witnessing performance tests of complete machines or equipment and verifying test results including measured data, corrected data, and calculated performance values which are compared with the applicable specifications to ascertain their conformity to the contractual requirements.
Dimension Checking
- Verifying all dimensions which have specified tolerance. The results of the verifications are compared with manufacturing drawings, contractual specifications, specified codes, and standards for their conformity to the requirements of such specifications.
Welding Inspection
- The object of this service is to verify during welding operations in manufacturer's shops and/or site that all welding operations are executed in accordance with contractual specifications and specified codes and standards.
- The choice of operations to be performed depends on the requirements of the assignment and may include:
- Reviewing of manufacturer's shop instructions against contractual specification and specified codes and standards.
- Witnessing of welding procedure qualification test.
- Witnessing qualification tests of welders and welding operators.
- Checking that the necessary welding instructions have been issued by the manufacturer.
- Checking that all welding operations are being performed in accordance with the instructions issued. Such instructions can cover the type of electrodes to be used, joint preparation and fit-up before welding, preheating requirements, location and sequence of welding passes, completion of intermediary operations such as back chipping, grinding, and cleaning, and post weld heat treatment.
- Checking the type and condition of the electrodes employed.
- Examination of the welding equipment.
- Witnessing of destructive and non-destructive test.
- Interpretation of non-destructive test results.
- imensional and visual checking of the welded items and of the welds
- Performance of destructive and non-destructive test.
Testing and checking of materials
Determining the conformity to requirements of physical, chemical, and other technological properties of all types of materials used in the fabrication of equipment. Documented test results are then compared with contractual specifications and specified codes and standards. The choice of the operations to be performed depends on the requirements of the assignment and include:
- Verification of test reports and identification of mill material certificates.
- Witnessing of tests performed by others.
- Performance of tests in laboratories.

- Arrangement of work schedules
Expediting
- This is to compare the progress of activities with a predetermined time schedule or critical path network. This allows detection and analysis of activities which might cause delays, assist in suggesting constructive solutions in order to meet the dates of pre-established programs, and inform the client of the actual situation existing at the manufacturers’ facilities and of all decisions taken or suggested regarding the time schedule.
Expediting programs are Implemented by
- Monitoring subcontractor activities [engineering procurement, tooling and manufacturing]
- Verifying subcontractor progress against schedule through in-plant visits.
- Anticipating, uncovering and reporting problems which could lead to delayed deliveries.
- Resolving problems with plant management
- Coordinating the flow of information between your personnel and subcontractor personnel
