BQCIS

Ensuring Pressure Systems Operate Safely and Legally

Pressure vessels, boilers, and piping systems operate under high stress and temperature, making them subject to strict statutory inspection requirements. BQCIS provides periodic and certification inspections to ensure safe operation and legal compliance with ASME, API, PED, and local authority regulations.

Our inspection engineers are certified under recognized authorities and perform both in-service and out-of-service evaluations, supported by advanced NDT, ultrasonic testing, and hydrostatic examinations.

With BQCIS certification, operators gain confidence that pressure systems are maintained to the highest international safety and reliability standards.

Our Pressure Equipment Inspection Activities

Design & Fabrication Review

Verify vessel design, welding procedures, and material traceability prior to fabrication and installation.

Pre-Commissioning Inspection

Conduct visual and dimensional checks, NDT, and pressure tests before start-up.

In-Service Periodic Inspection

Perform scheduled internal and external inspections to maintain legal operating certification.

Fitness-for-Service Assessment

Evaluate the structural integrity of aged pressure vessels using API 579/ASME FFS standards.

Hydrostatic & Leak Testing

Confirm vessel integrity under operating and test pressures to detect leaks or material weaknesses.

Weld & NDT Examination

Perform radiographic, ultrasonic, or magnetic particle testing on critical welds and joints.

Certification & Revalidation

Issue compliance certificates as required by regulatory bodies or notified authorities.

Shutdown & Repair Verification

Verify repair procedures and recommissioning readiness after maintenance shutdowns.

Remaining Life Assessment

Using inspection data and engineering analysis to predict the remaining safe operational life of an asset.

Success Story

BQCIS Boiler Inspection Prevents Power Plant Downtime

The Challenge:

A 180-MW cogeneration facility reported abnormal vibration and heat signatures in boiler feed lines, risking potential rupture.

Our Solution:

BQCIS performed ultrasonic thickness mapping and stress analysis on pressure components, identifying wall thinning below allowable limits.

The Result:

Critical lines were replaced before failure, avoiding an estimated $2.5 million in production losses and ensuring full regulatory compliance.
