Procurement engineering ensures equipment and materials are technically specified, evaluated, inspected, and delivered in compliance with project requirements, codes, and international standards.
Procurement focuses on technical and commercial purchasing activities.
Expediting ensures vendors meet manufacturing schedules and delivery milestones.
Vendor surveillance is continuous monitoring of fabrication activities to ensure compliance with specifications, quality standards, and project schedules.
Yes. We assess vendor capabilities, quality systems, certifications, experience, and production capacity to support Approved Vendor List (AVL) development.
TBE includes technical comparison of vendor offers, deviation analysis, clarification management, and technical recommendations prior to purchase order issuance.
A PIM aligns the client, inspector, and manufacturer on inspection scope, procedures, drawings, ITPs, and acceptance criteria before fabrication begins.
An ITP defines inspection stages, hold points, witness points, and acceptance criteria during manufacturing.
Yes. We perform factory audits to evaluate compliance with ASME, API, ISO, and project quality requirements.
Typical inspections include:
FAT verifies equipment performance, functionality, and compliance at the manufacturer’s facility before shipment.
SAT confirms proper installation and operation of equipment at the project site.
An MDR is the final vendor quality dossier including drawings, material certificates, welding records, NDT reports, inspection reports, and compliance certificates.
It ensures documentation completeness, traceability, and compliance before equipment is released and handed over to the client.
An IRN authorizes shipment after confirming equipment meets technical and quality requirements.
