MTS-EU TECHNICAL

New-build quality.
In-service assurance.

Independent technical inspection and qualified specialist personnel for new-build fabrication and construction QA/QC, and in-service equipment inspection and mechanical integrity. Based in the UK and France; deployed to projects worldwide.

TWO DISTINCT WORKSTREAMS

New-build QA/QC. In-service equipment inspection.

Different stages in the asset lifecycle demand different scopes of inspection, codes and technical decisions. We provide both.

01 / NEW BUILD

Fabrication, construction & commissioning QA/QC

Independent client and third-party inspection of materials, welding and fabricated assemblies. WPS/PQR and welder qualification review, ITP witness and hold points, manufacturing surveillance, NDT coordination, pressure testing and final quality documentation.

02 / IN SERVICE

Plant inspection & mechanical integrity

Examination and condition assessment of existing pressure equipment, process piping, exchangers and associated plant, including onshore shutdowns and offshore production assets. Inspections, repair verification, corrosion assessment and return-to-service support within appropriate authorisations.

FIVE TECHNICAL CAPABILITIES

Specialist inspection disciplines.

Practical inspection backed by technical qualifications, experience and client-specific acceptance criteria.

Welding & fabrication QA/QC

CSWIP-led weld inspection, welding procedure and qualification review, specialist alloys, traceability, fabrication surveillance and weld acceptance.

Plant & mechanical inspection

API / ASME pressure vessels and piping, plant inspection, in-service integrity assessments, shutdowns, pressure testing and examination under applicable statutory arrangements.

Non-destructive testing

PCN-qualified UT, MT, PT and ET capability, inspection planning, examination, NDT supervision and review of specialist AUT results where within scope.

Coatings & corrosion protection

Protective coating and surface preparation surveillance, project-specific coating requirements, pipeline corrosion protection and concrete weight coating QA/QC.

IRATA rope access inspection

Inspection and NDT in difficult-access areas with suitably qualified IRATA technicians and Level 3 supervision, subject to applicable rescue plans and safe systems of work.

Client, vendor & source inspection

Client representation, inspection and test plans, vendor surveillance, FAT witness, quality audits, technical reporting and inspection coordination worldwide.

INDUSTRIES & ASSETS

Offshore and subsea are different disciplines. We understand both.

Our project experience spans existing production assets and new-build fabrication environments, onshore and offshore.

Offshore production

Platforms, FPSOs, topsides and process systems: in-service piping, pressure equipment, welding inspection and mechanical integrity.

Subsea & pipelines

S-lay pipeline fabrication and installation QA/QC, flowlines, risers, weld quality, AUT surveillance, coatings and DNV/API pipeline requirements.

Onshore oil, gas & petrochemical

Refineries, processing facilities, process piping, pressure vessels, heat exchangers and shutdown inspection.

Nuclear

High-integrity fabrication QA/QC, weld and material traceability, supplier inspections, manufacturing surveillance and quality documentation.

Power & energy infrastructure

Mechanical manufacturing and supplier QA/QC for transmission, energy infrastructure and wind-related supply chains. Project scope depends on relevant competence and access certification.

Industrial manufacturing

Pressure equipment, specialist fabrication, mechanical assemblies, vendor inspection and factory acceptance activities across sectors.

QUALIFIED SPECIALIST PERSONNEL

Competence matched to the assignment.

MTS-EU Technical can arrange appropriately qualified inspection and QA/QC specialists, subject to contract, certification validity and availability.

ASMEAPI 510 / 570CSWIPPCN / ISO 9712IRATAClient-approved inspectors

Individual expertise or coordinated teams

Depending on requirements, engagements may involve client inspectors, plant inspectors, welding inspectors, NDT technicians, rope access personnel and Level 3 supervision. Each assignment is assessed for qualification scope, competence, insurance, local regulations and client authorisation.

Qualified personnel do not, by themselves, constitute IRATA member-company certification, statutory accreditation or unrestricted authorisation for every scope.

TECHNICAL GOVERNANCE

Codes, standards & client specifications.

We work to the applicable edition, contractual requirements and acceptance criteria of each project—not a one-size-fits-all checklist.

ASME & API

API 510, API 570, API 1104; ASME BPVC Sections V, VIII and IX; ASME B31.3 and relevant in-service repair guidance.

ISO / EN

ISO 9001, ISO 9712, ISO 3834, ISO 15614, ISO 9606 and applicable weld inspection, NDT and materials standards.

Offshore & subsea

DNV-ST-F101, API 5L and applicable pipeline construction, inspection and acceptance requirements.

Saudi Aramco

SAES, SAMSS and SAEP, together with applicable SATIP, SAIC and project-specific inspection requirements.

In-service governance

UK PSSR 2000, applicable EEMUA guidance and equipment-specific inspection and statutory examination arrangements.

Coatings & materials

Applicable ISO 12944, ISO 8501, construction specifications, materials traceability and protective coating requirements.

Codes and standards are listed to illustrate relevant experience and project scope, not as a claim that every individual or engagement is certified to each standard.

SELECTED PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Experience across assets, sectors and project stages.

Our technical leadership brings previous individual assignment experience involving operators, contractors and inspection organisations in offshore, onshore and nuclear environments.

GLOBAL COVERAGE

UK and France. Global project coverage.

With UK and French operating bases, MTS-EU Technical supports assignments worldwide, including offshore rotations, short-term inspection campaigns, shutdowns, vendor visits and longer project engagements. International services may be delivered through the appropriate UK or French entity, subject to applicable registrations, authorisations, insurance and client requirements.

Mobilisation tailored to the project

We assess work scope, local work authorisations, certification, team configuration, insurance and mobilisation requirements for each assignment. This flexibility supports both individual specialists and multi-person deployments.
