Independent evaluation of documentation, processes and execution against recognised standards, contract requirements and project specifications to support consistent quality and compliance.
Get independent third-party verification from leading experts that clearly documents whether design assumptions, inspection data and cathodic protection performance meet recognised standards
Asset owners, integrity managers and engineering teams rely on independent expert verification when subsea and offshore assets approach critical decisions such as life extension, regulatory approval or major maintenance planning. When design assumptions, inspection findings or cathodic protection results are assessed internally or remain unclear, uncertainty grows and decisions slow, increasing compliance risk and the likelihood of costly rework or delayed operations.
Documented assessment of asset integrity
Independent third-party verification replaces assumption with clear, evidence-based conclusions. This gives operators, project partners and authorities a credible foundation for decisions, supports efficient regulatory dialogue and provides assurance that asset integrity has been evaluated objectively and consistently.

Challenges
When integrity decisions rely on unverified or inconsistent evidence, risk and delay increase.
Inspection results lack independent validation for integrity decisions
Inspection data from subsea surveys, corrosion assessments or CP measurements cannot reliably confirm condition, remaining life or required actions without independent verification.
Different assessments undermine a single compliance narrative
Varying interpretations of design assumptions, inspection findings or corrosion data make it hard to present a consistent, defensible position to authorities and partners.
Documentation gaps slow approvals and audits
Missing, outdated or non-traceable documentation extends review cycles and increases the risk of late rework or follow-up requests.
Lack of independent perspective weakens confidence
Without third-party verification, decisions may be questioned by regulators, insurers or joint-venture partners, even when the underlying technical work is sound.
Benefits
Get independent verification that stands up to regulatory and partner scrutiny
Objective assurance, verified performance
Third-party review confirms that inspection data, design and corrosion control meet project and industry standards.
Clear documentation, faster client acceptance
Structured verification reports and certification simplify technical reviews and reduce delays in project approval.
Broader expertise, fewer blind spots
Combined experience in corrosion, structural and CP engineering ensures nothing critical is overlooked.
Independent verification, stronger decisions
External evaluation builds confidence in asset integrity decisions across owners, contractors and regulators.
