Stork Technical Services’ RBG Awarded Chevron Inspection Contract

RBG, the leading provider of assess, inspect and repair (AIR) services to the global energy industry that was recently acquired by Stork Technical Services, as a result of a bid exercise has been awarded a three year contract to provide Chevron North Sea Limited (“Chevron”) with global QA/QC (quality assurance/ quality control) inspection services. RBG have provided similar inspection services to Chevron since 2002.

The contract involves the provision of both 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 experienced 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.

Doug Bolton, RBG’s quality services manager, said: “We are pleased 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.”
