RBG awarded Chevron QA/QC inspection contract
24 August 2011
As a result of a bid exercise, RBG has been awarded a three year contract to provide Chevron North Sea Limited with global QA/QC (quality assurance/quality control) inspection services. It has provided similar inspection services to Chevron since 2002.
The contract involves the provision of full time and ad-hoc quality personnel, including principal and senior QA/QC inspectors, which deliver expert third party vendor inspection services for Chevron onshore and offshore, across the UK, Continental Europe, Americas and Asia-Pacific.
The RBG team supports new build works and servicing of equipment for Chevron’s drilling, completion, subsea and topside activity and supports Chevron in ensuring that the work is carried out in accordance with the required industry standards and meets the company’s specifications.
Activities can range from witnessing the manufacture of pipe being produced at pipe mills in Japan to inspecting wellheads fabricated in Europe and North America.
RBG also provides qualified auditors that audit a manufacturer’s management system, technical capability, product delivery, process control, contract compliance and plant evaluation.
The company’s Quality Services Manager Doug Bolton said: “We are very happy to have been awarded this significant three-year contract. Since 2002, we have developed an excellent working relationship with Chevron and I am confident that the high quality of work carried out by our embedded team of inspectors was a significant factor in securing this contract award. We look forward to continuing our work with Chevron over the next three years. We have experienced a notable rise in vendor inspection activity in recent years and our truly international reach means we can provide a cost-effective service that ensures product quality and timely delivery.”
