Inspection is a well-established practice as it is a necessary activity in achieving required quality and compliance in greenfield and modification projects. Such projects involve coordination of project personnel, vendors and material and components. Therefore, this carries an inherent risk in non-conformance and not meeting targeted project quality.
Inspection is carried out to give an independent view of the works either for the client or 3rd party. This is to ensure facilities meet project specification during construction, installation and commissioning activities. As these activities are extensive in their scope and scale, inspection resources required are with varied disciplines, qualifications and experience. Ankaa Consulting has access to comprehensive inspection resources to meet its client’s inspection and quality control requirements. This assures these activities are executed in accordance with international codes and standards, related procedures and quality plans.
