BQCIS

Ensuring Quality at the Source

The Procurement & Fabrication phase transforms engineering designs into tangible components. Quality assurance at this stage is critical—defects, non-conformances, or material substitutions can compromise safety, delay schedules, and increase costs.

BQCIS mitigates these risks by embedding verification throughout the supply chain. Through Supplier Qualification Audits and Vendor (Shop) Inspections, we ensure that materials, fabrication methods, and documentation conform to client specifications and international codes.

Our inspectors perform real-time monitoring of manufacturing milestones, witness testing, review Material Test Certificates (MTCs), verify NDT results, and issue inspection reports prior to dispatch—ensuring compliant, defect-free equipment arrives ready for installation.

Key Procurement & Fabrication Activities

Supplier Qualification & Capability Audits

We assess suppliers’ facilities, quality systems, and technical capacity before orders are placed. Audits benchmark against ISO 9001, ASME, or project-specific standards, verifying that vendors can consistently meet required quality and delivery expectations.

Vendor Inspection (Shop Inspection) & Expediting

BQCIS inspectors perform multi-stage surveillance per your Inspection & Test Plan (ITP)—covering material verification, NDT, dimensional checks, and performance testing. Expediting support ensures production milestones are achieved and delivery schedules maintained.

Key Benefits of Procurement & Fabrication Oversight

Benefit Icon

Early Quality Assurance

Detect and correct non-conformances during fabrication, avoiding costly rework at site.

Benefit Icon

Supplier Reliability

Continuous vendor evaluation improves reliability, performance, and on-time delivery of critical components.

Benefit Icon

Code & Specification Compliance

Independent inspection assures full conformity with client specs and international fabrication standards.

Benefit Icon

Reduced Delivery Risk

Proactive expediting and inspection prevent late deliveries that jeopardize downstream construction schedules.

Success Story

Vendor Inspection Catches Critical Weld Defect

The Challenge:

A client ordered a high-pressure vessel from an overseas fabricator. Third-party inspection was required before shipment.

Our Solution:

A BQCIS inspector performed final inspection—reviewing data books, MTCs, and NDT reports. Radiographic review revealed major weld porosity and lack of fusion previously missed by vendor QC.

The Result:

BQCIS issued a Non-Conformance Report and prevented shipment of the defective vessel, averting costly site delays and safety exposure.
