-

Fractional Quality Management
A full QA/QC department, delivered fractionally. Ideal for startups and growing companies that need a compliant, well-run quality program, but cannot justify a full-time hire. We build, manage, and maintain your entire system so your team doesn’t juggle it off the side of their desk.
-

QA/QC Consulting & Auditing
Practical, standards-based consulting to build or strengthen your quality management system. We support ISO/API/ASME compliance, develop procedures, complete gap assessments, and help teams improve consistency, documentation, and performance.
-

Asset Integrity Inspections & Management
Inspection and integrity programs for pressure equipment, piping, structural systems, and mechanical assets. We develop risk-based plans, coordinate inspection work, analyze data, and help prioritize repairs to reduce failures and meet regulatory requirements.
-

Project & Shutdown Planning
QA/QC planning and execution support for turnarounds, outages, expansions, and construction projects. We coordinate inspections, develop quality plans, support contractor oversight, and ensure documentation and compliance stay on track during high-pressure events.
-

Vendor & Third-Party Surveillance
Verification services to ensure equipment, materials, and fabrication work meet specifications before they arrive on-site. We perform shop surveillance, FAT witnessing, documentation review, stamping verification, and compliance audits worldwide.
-

Non-Destructive Examination Coordination
Oversight and coordination of NDE services including RT, UT, MT, PT, PAUT, hardness testing, and advanced integrity methods. We ensure certified technicians, proper procedures, compliant reporting, and accurate interpretation of results.
-

Hot Tap & Line Intervention Consulting
Planning, oversight, and QA/QC support for hot taps, line stops, and complex intervention activities. We help ensure safety, proper documentation, vendor alignment, and compliance with ASME and industry requirements.
-

Quality Software & System Implementation
Digital quality tools that improve traceability, reporting, and decision-making. We help clients implement QMS platforms, inspection reporting tools, dashboards, and workflows to modernize their quality systems.
