API & Non-API Inspector Deployment for Shutdowns
What Is It
Your Shutdown Window Doesn’t Wait for the Right Team to Show Up
A shutdown is only as good as the inspectors standing in front of the equipment. Get the wrong team, and the window closes with the risk still inside.
IRC Engineering deploys certified API 510, 570, and 653 inspectors, along with experienced non-API technical personnel, to support shutdowns and turnarounds wherever your project is located.
We deploy the right mix of personnel for shutdown scope, including:
- API 510 inspectors
- API 570 inspectors
- API 653 inspectors
- AWS-qualified welding inspectors
- ASNT Level II and III NDT personnel
