Quality management systems (QMS)

We right-size quality management systems for fabricators, contractors, and owners so you can demonstrate control without slowing production.

QMS build-out and improvement

  • Gap assessments against governing codes and purchaser specs
  • Process mapping, roles, and document control
  • KPI selection, NCR/CPAR loops, and internal audit programs
  • Training plans for inspectors, welders, and supervisors

When QMS maturity grows, inspection becomes more predictableand so do schedules.

Project QA/QC inspectors and staffing support

Keep work fronts open with the right people at the right time. We supply project QA/QC inspectors who integrate with your supervision and production teams.

Embedded support options

  • Short-call coverage for outages, turnarounds, or priority welds
  • Multi-week or months-long augmentation for peak workload
  • Field, shop, and vendor surveillance capability
  • Daily reporting that rolls seamlessly into closeout packages

If your scope includes pressure equipment or pipelines, see Mechanical Integrity & Pipeline Inspection for complementary services.

Third-Party QA/QC and audit support

Independent verification increases trust with owners and regulators. Our third-party inspection approach is pragmatic, objective, and documentation-forward.

Where third-party inspection adds value

  • Verifying vendor and fabricator compliance before shipment
  • Witnessing critical hold points and final acceptance tests
  • Independent plan reviews against contract, code, and IFC drawings
  • Preparation for regulatory or client audits with mock audits and file checks
