Our Services
Lifting and Safety Equipment Inspections
Our lifting and safety equipment inspection services are designed to ensure the highest level of workplace safety and compliance with industry standards. We conduct rigorous evaluations of critical equipment, including slings, shackles, harnesses, fall arrest systems and more. Using advanced tools and methodologies, we assess wear, damage and functionality to identify potential hazards before they become risks. By prioritising proactive maintenance and compliance checks, our inspections help reduce accidents, enhance operational confidence and maintain adherence to regulations, ensuring your team and operations remain secure.
API CAT III & IV Inspection of Derricks and Substructures
Derricks and substructures play a crucial role in drilling operations and their safety is non-negotiable. Our API CAT III & IV inspections focus on ensuring these components meet the stringent requirements of API 4G standards. Our process involves comprehensive assessments of structural integrity, fatigue and wear using advanced diagnostic tools. Post-inspection, we provide detailed reports with actionable recommendations. These inspections help extend the life of your structures, maintain safety and minimise downtime, ensuring smooth and secure drilling operations.
API 4G Drilling Structure Inspection
We specialise in API 4G Drilling Structure Inspections, covering both Category I and II levels. These inspections are essential for the long-term safety and functionality of your drilling equipment. Our experts thoroughly examine structural components, including joints, welds and critical load-bearing elements, to identify any signs of wear, corrosion, or damage. In addition to conducting inspections, we train your crew to recognise early signs of structural issues, fostering a culture of proactive safety and minimising costly risks.
Dropped Object Surveys
Dropped objects are a leading cause of workplace injuries in industrial environments. Our dropped object surveys are designed to identify and mitigate risks associated with loose, unsecured, or poorly maintained components on rigs and plants. We conduct detailed assessments of vulnerable areas, including elevated workspaces, tools and fixtures, to identify potential hazards. Our team delivers a comprehensive risk report along with actionable recommendations to minimise dropped object incidents, ensuring a safer working environment for your team.
Rig Condition Surveys
Understanding the structural health of your rig is critical for operational efficiency and safety. Our rig condition surveys provide a holistic evaluation of your rig’s performance, highlighting areas of wear, corrosion, or mechanical inefficiencies. We use advanced diagnostic tools to inspect critical components and assess compliance with safety standards. These surveys empower you with detailed insights to plan maintenance schedules, reduce unexpected downtime and extend the operational lifespan of your rig.
Plant Equipment Inspections – Cranes, Forklifts & MEWPs
Plant equipment such as cranes, forklifts and mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs) are essential for smooth industrial operations. However, their safety and functionality must be regularly verified. Our inspection services ensure these machines meet all regulatory standards and operate reliably under heavy use. We evaluate mechanical integrity, inspect for signs of wear or malfunction and deliver clear reports to help you address issues proactively. This service minimises equipment failure risks, reduces downtime and enhances overall operational efficiency.
Air Receivers and Air Systems PRV Inspections
Pressure relief valves (PRVs) and air receivers are critical safety components in air systems. We provide comprehensive testing and calibration services to ensure these components perform reliably under operational conditions. Our inspections cover all aspects, including leak detection, pressure retention and calibration accuracy. Regular PRV maintenance reduces the likelihood of system failures, improves operational safety and ensures compliance with industry standards.
Pressure Testing
Pressure testing is essential for verifying the structural integrity and performance of industrial equipment. Our pressure testing services utilise high-precision tools and techniques to simulate real-world operating conditions. We assess equipment for leaks, weaknesses, or structural flaws, providing you with a detailed analysis of its readiness for operational use. This service ensures compliance with safety standards, minimises risks and improves reliability, particularly in high-pressure environments.
Load Testing
Our load testing services are critical for verifying the strength and stability of lifting devices, structures and other equipment under maximum load conditions. This process ensures that your equipment can withstand the demands of heavy-duty industrial use without failure. We use calibrated tools to conduct controlled load tests and provide detailed reports outlining equipment performance. By confirming the reliability of your equipment, we help you enhance safety and reduce the risk of unexpected breakdowns or accidents.
OCTG Inspections CAT 1-5
Oil Country Tubular Goods (OCTG) play a vital role in oil and gas operations. Our CAT 1 to CAT 5 OCTG inspections provide comprehensive evaluations of tubular goods, ensuring their integrity and fitness for purpose. We use advanced diagnostic tools to detect issues such as corrosion, cracking and wall thickness variation. Our precise categorisation and analysis help you identify potential weaknesses early, preventing costly failures and enhancing the safety of your operations.
Pressure Gauge Testing and Calibration
Accurate pressure readings are crucial in industrial environments where safety and performance depend on precision. Our pressure gauge testing and calibration services ensure your gauges meet the highest standards of accuracy. We follow stringent calibration protocols to provide detailed reports on gauge performance. This service supports safe and efficient operations by ensuring your pressure measurements are reliable and compliant with regulatory standards.
Accumulator Inspections
Accumulators are vital components in hydraulic systems and their reliability directly impacts system performance. Our accumulator inspections focus on evaluating pressure retention, leak detection and overall operational integrity. Using advanced diagnostic techniques, we identify potential issues before they lead to system failures. Regular inspections help optimise system performance, reduce downtime and improve the overall safety and efficiency of your operations.
