Two domains, one engineering culture
Our specialisation runs deep in two complementary fields: pressure equipment for conventional industrial use, and pressure equipment for nuclear service. The same engineering culture underpins both — but the codes, the rigour and the supply chains are distinctly different.
Pressure Equipment — Conventional Field
The bulk of pressure equipment in service worldwide is built and inspected under codes that have evolved over more than a century — ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code in the Americas and Asia, PED 2014/68/EU and EN 13445 in Europe, and locally adapted regulatory frameworks in Malaysia (DOSH), Singapore (MOM), Australia and New Zealand (AS/NZS), and the UK (PE(S)R).
Our work in this field covers:
- Process industry equipment — separators, columns, reactors, heat exchangers, storage vessels for the oil & gas, petrochemical, chemical and refining industries.
- Power industry equipment — boilers, steam drums, deaerators, condensers, feed-water heaters in conventional thermal and combined-cycle plants.
- Industrial gas equipment — pressure vessels and storage systems for industrial and specialty gases.
- Manufacturing & fabrication — QMS audits and product certification for fabrication shops producing pressure-rated equipment for global markets.
- Engineering services — vendor inspection, factory acceptance testing and expediting on behalf of owners and EPC contractors.
Across these domains we provide design review, fabrication surveillance, third-party witnessing of NDE and pressure testing, material verification under EN 10204 Type 3.2, and final acceptance for shipment and operation. Explore our inspection services →
Nuclear Pressure Equipment
Nuclear pressure equipment operates under a fundamentally different regime. The codes are more demanding (ASME Section III, NQA-1, ISO 19443). The quality assurance is more rigorous. The documentation is more extensive. The consequences of failure are more severe — and the supply chain that builds, inspects and operates this equipment must reflect that reality at every level.
Our parent organization, C&P Srl, was the first body in Italy and the second worldwide to obtain ISO 19443 accreditation — the nuclear adaptation of ISO 9001. That nuclear DNA shapes the way we work in every project, conventional or nuclear.
Our nuclear work covers:
- ASME Section III pressure equipment — Class 1, 2 and 3 vessels, pumps, valves and piping under our Authorized Nuclear Inspector (ANI) and Authorized Nuclear Inspector Supervisor (ANIS) authorities.
- NQA-1 supplier audits — verification of supplier quality programmes against the requirements of ASME NQA-1.
- ISO 19443 supply chain certification — certification of nuclear suppliers to the international nuclear QMS standard, including Stage 1, Stage 2 and surveillance audits.
- Nuclear safety culture assessments — independent assessment of nuclear safety culture in supplier organizations.
- CFSI controls — verification of supplier controls against Counterfeit, Fraudulent and Suspect Items.
- Nuclear training — ISO 19443 lead-auditor and safety-culture courses.

Why the combination matters
An inspection body that only works in conventional pressure equipment misses the discipline that nuclear demands. A body that only works in nuclear can be over-engineered and slow for conventional projects. We deliberately maintain both — so conventional clients benefit from the rigour we bring to nuclear, and nuclear clients benefit from the efficiency we bring to conventional.
