Our inspectors
The person at the test bench matters more than the logo on the report. We assign inspectors by equipment type and send you their CV with every quote.

How we match inspectors to equipment
Fabricated equipment such as vessels, structures and piping needs a welding inspector who can read WPS and NDE records. Valves and rotating equipment need someone who has run and judged many shop tests. Electrical packages need an electrical engineer. We do not send one inspector to everything.
Before the first visit, the inspector reads your specification and ITP and lists any questions for the vendor, so the visit is spent inspecting.
Questions buyers ask
Can we see the inspector’s CV before the visit?
Yes. Every quote names the proposed inspector and includes their CV and certificates. You can accept or ask for another inspector before the assignment starts.
Do your inspectors write reports in English?
Yes. Reports are written in English on your forms or ours. Inspectors also speak Mandarin with the vendor, which avoids misunderstandings on the shop floor.
Can you provide inspectors with operator approvals?
Where we have inspectors holding the approval your project requires, we propose them with the approval number. Tell us the approval scheme and discipline when you request a quote.
Send us the PO and ITP. We will reply with a quote.
Tell us the equipment, the vendor's city and the inspection dates. We reply within one business day with a man-day quote and the inspector's CV.
