How Brunel Supports Inspection Excellence Around the World

Global projects today are no longer delivered in one place.

A subsea module might be fabricated in China, a biotech skid assembled in Germany, or a wind turbine tower manufactured in Korea — all for final deployment elsewhere.

When companies take fabrication or manufacturing into new regions where they have no operational presence, maintaining quality assurance becomes challenging. At Brunel, we support clients across Renewables, Conventional Energy, Life Sciences, and Mining industries ensuring equipment’s fabricated anywhere around the world meets project specifications, industry standards and regulatory requirements. With strong regional coverage, technical specialists, and bilingual coordination teams, our Third-Party Inspection (TPI) services keep your global project on track — no matter where fabrication happens.

The Challenge: Delivering with Confidence in an Unfamiliar Region

Many global companies are awarded large-scale projects that require part of the construction or fabrication to be carried out outside of the project destination due to supplier capacity, cost efficiency, or specialisation.

But what happens when:

You have no local office or legal entity to manage the process?
Your QA/QC engineers can’t easily travel due to visa limitations or cost?
Local suppliers speak a different language, follow different standards, or don’t fully understand your expectations?
You need real-time inspection reporting across multiple vendors and time zones?

Without the right local support in country, even the smallest misstep can delay entire delivery schedules or lead to costly rework.

Where Brunel Adds Value

Brunel supports companies by embedding inspection expertise directly into your fabrication lifecycle — wherever in the world it’s happening.

We become your trusted link between engineering specifications, vendor execution, and quality validation.

Factory Surveillance

We provide on-site inspectors to oversee fabrication and assembly activities, ensuring compliance with technical specs and client expectations.

Various Technical Testing

Our inspectors and engineers coordinate and report on key testing milestones with vendors, clients, and third-party certifiers — clearly, accurately, and in your preferred format. We support a wide range of testing services, including Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT), Pressure Testing, Load Testing, Welding Inspection, Instrumentation Checks and more.

Bilingual Vendor Liaison

Whether in Asia, Europe or the Americas, we bridge language and cultural gaps to ensure supplier alignment from start to finish.

Tailored Reporting & Documentation

We deliver clear, standardised inspection reports that align with your project’s quality framework, procurement workflows, and invoicing needs.

Global-Local Compliance Assurance

We bring deep knowledge of regional standards (API, ASME, ISO, etc.) and international best practices, so you never compromise on compliance — even in remote factories.

Use Case: Renewable Energy, Conventional Energy, and Beyond

Renewables: Wind turbine towers fabricated in Asia for projects in Europe require rigorous welding inspections and FAT validation and coating checks before shipment.

Conventional Energy: Pressure vessels or pipeline components may be built in China for FPSO or LNG facilities abroad. Our inspection team ensures every component is up to spec before leaving port.

Life Sciences: Biotech process skids manufactured in Southeast Asia for Europe or North America need detailed FAT and vendor validation before integration.

Mining & Infrastructure: Structural components or electrical systems fabricated offshore must meet strict safety and performance standards before installation.

Partner with a Team That Understands Both Sides of the World

At Brunel, we offer:

Industry-specific knowledge backed by global project experience
Local coverage globally
Flexible manpower solutions — from one inspector to full-scale oversight
Bilingual coordination that prevents miscommunication
Streamlined processes that align with client reporting and invoicing systems

When part of your global project is built far from home, you need a partner you can trust — on the ground and in the details. Brunel delivers the eyes, ears, and expertise you need to ensure that your fabrication and testings meet international standards.

How Brunel Supports Your Global Quality Assurance Needs

No matter where your project is being fabricated or assembled, Brunel ensures you have the right experts on the ground to maintain quality, compliance, and peace of mind.

Workforce Solutions

We source and deploy experienced QA/QC inspectors, auditors, and specialists to your project site—whether it’s a short-term inspection or a long-term assignment—so you don’t need to build a local team from scratch.

Global Mobility Solutions

If you prefer to use your internal experts, we help you mobilise them across borders compliantly—even in countries where you don’t have an entity—using Employer of Record (EOR), visa support, and secondment services.

Project & Consulting Solutions

Every project is different. We work with you to build tailored inspection support models based on your scope of work, timelines, and compliance needs—ensuring smooth project delivery from fabrication to final assembly.
