QUALITY CONTROL
We focus on providing multiple quality control services with focus on surface preparation, corrosion protection, painting inspection and welding quality management. In our team we have licensed FROSIO level 3 inspector as well as International Welding engineer. We have worked with different renowned companies such as Končar, Framatome, Andritz and Jeumont electric, SMIT transformatoren primarily on paining inspection of metallic welded structures for both onshore and offshore projects.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
