Quality is not inspected on delivery. It is verified at the source.

Independent verification that fabricated components, assemblies and structures conform to approved drawings and tolerances, using calibrated measurement tools to catch dimensional non-conformities before they reach installation or shipment.

On an assignment the inspector works from the approved drawings and datasheets, checking critical dimensions, nozzle orientations, flange faces and overall geometry with calibrated instruments and recording each result against tolerance. Dimensional verification before shipment is what prevents fit-up problems and rework when components reach the installation site.

Field and desk-based tracking of manufacturing progress against the approved schedule, monitoring milestones, procurement status and delivery risk so clients get early warning of slippage instead of a late surprise at the shipment date.

Expediting ranges from desk-based status review to on-site visits at the vendor's works, confirming that material has been ordered, fabrication has actually started and milestones are being met rather than merely reported. The output is an early-warning report the client can act on while there is still time to recover the schedule.

Determines physical and chemical property conformity through laboratory testing and mill certificate verification, backed by non-destructive testing (NDT) and mechanical test witnessing to confirm materials meet the specified grade and standard before fabrication proceeds.

The inspector witnesses mechanical and non-destructive tests, reviews mill test certificates to EN 10204 3.1/3.2, and confirms material traceability from the certificate to the component, so the grade specified in the purchase order is the grade actually used. Catching a material discrepancy before fabrication proceeds avoids a far more expensive problem in service.

Verification that finished goods are packed, marked and protected correctly before dispatch, covering packaging integrity, box condition, labeling accuracy, and pallet-level readiness so shipments arrive without damage or documentation mismatches.

The inspection confirms that packaging suits the transport mode and storage conditions, that preservation and nozzle protection are in place, and that marking and shipping marks match the documentation. For export shipments crossing several handling points, correct packing and marking is what keeps equipment undamaged and clearable at destination.

Functional and performance verification of equipment and packages before acceptance, including control-panel functional testing, hydrostatic/pneumatic pressure testing, and skid-mounted process package testing to confirm equipment performs to its design specification.

Performance and functional tests are witnessed against the approved acceptance criteria — pressure tests held at the specified pressure and duration, control panels exercised through their functions, and skid-mounted packages run to confirm they perform as designed. Witnessing the test at the works is the only way to confirm equipment works before it is shipped and installed.

A final independent check of goods before they leave the manufacturer's facility, confirming quantity, specification conformity, and physical condition against the purchase order and approved documentation, so clients aren't the first to discover a problem after the goods have shipped.

A pre-shipment inspection (PSI) is the last independent gate before goods leave the factory: quantity, specification and condition are checked against the purchase order and the approved QCP/ITP, and any open nonconformity is confirmed closed. It is the check that stops a problem travelling to site inside a sealed crate.

Structured visual examination of components and assemblies before shipment, checking surface condition, finish, dimensional alignment, and workmanship against approved drawings and standards, rather than relying on the manufacturer's own self-inspection.

The inspector examines surface condition, finish, coating and workmanship against the approved drawings and standards, documenting findings with photographs rather than relying on the manufacturer's self-inspection. Visual inspection is often the first and most cost-effective filter, catching obvious defects before more expensive testing or shipment.

Review of welding procedures (WPS) and welder qualifications, combined with non-destructive testing witnessing (RT, UT, PT, MT) to verify weld integrity without destructive intervention, protecting structural and pressure-boundary integrity before the joint is covered or put into service.

The inspector reviews the WPS, PQR and welder qualifications, then witnesses fit-up, visual inspection and the specified NDT (RT, UT, MT, PT) at the stages where a defect can still be seen and repaired. Because welds carry the structural and pressure-boundary load, verifying them before the joint is coated or put into service is central to the whole inspection.
