Check your compliance

We verify the compliance of your technical installations, equipment and processes during their commissioning and/or operation. 

As a result, you have an overview of the points to improve to achieve compliance and an inspection schedule in order to comply with the regulatory frequencies.

Our main areas of action:

Compliance checks and periodic controls

• Electrical installations
• Pressure equipment
• Mechanical and lifting equipment
• Waves and radiation
• Fire safety installations
• Power and fluid networks 
  
  

Conventional or advanced non-destructive testing

• Radiography, ultrasound, magnetic particle inspection, dye penetrant inspection, etc.
• Eddy current, Phased Array ultrasound, Floorscan MFL, ACFM, TOFD, etc.

Dedicated project management for your facilities, processes, production units, manufacturing workshops

To take up your challenges, we put together a bespoke team of specialists and are at your side throughout your project’s duration, providing you with a comprehensive response.

During the design phase:

Our dedicated team verifies the general and budget-related compliance of your investment projects, using a “multi-directive” regulatory approach: machine, pressure equipment, ATEX, EMC, Low Voltage, etc.

During the operating phase:

We work in project mode with you to:

• Improve the quality of your products,
• Secure the performance of your processes,
• Reduce your losses due to non-quality (scraps, customer dissatisfaction, unit shutdowns, etc.), using an approach focused on the reliability, maintainability and availability of your production tool.

Optimising your maintenance

You are interested in optimising your maintenance costs. We provide you with an external vision of your maintenance organisation, offering true assistance in the decision-making process.

Our solution, through its technical, organisational and human approaches, enables you to take up your challenges in:

• controlling the risks on your shutdowns,
• schedule management, 
• energy efficiency in your buildings and utilities, 
• assessing service providers, 
• optimising the use of your digitised data,
• …

During your installations’ end-of-life phase:

Our “ageing support” approach makes it possible to assess the remaining lifespan of your equipment, facilities or production sites to recommend new investments or guide you towards solutions aimed at extending their lifespan:

• continuing operations with a timetable and managing your improvement plan,
• Institutional cover: insurers, local residents and local authorities.
