SERVICES
We help clients to reduce the cost & risk of hull structural integrity management through:
-
Optimising inspection scope & methodology: What to look at, when & how?
-
Engineering assessment of inspection results: What are the implications of the findings?
-
Risk mitigation & repair strategies: What to do given any defects?
See below for some of the key services we provide across these areas.
