Our team is experienced in working to strict project specifications across a range of industries, including infrastructure, mining, oil and gas, and industrial sectors.
Workshop and On-Site Capability
Inspection services are conducted both within our Kings Park facility and on-site, depending on project requirements. This allows SST to maintain quality control across all environments, from controlled workshop conditions to complex field applications.
Our on-site inspection capability ensures that projects delivered in live operational environments meet the same high standards as those completed in our workshop.
Documentation and Reporting
SST provides detailed inspection and quality assurance documentation for all projects, including inspection test plans (ITPs), hold point records and completion reports. This ensures full transparency and provides clients with confidence that all works have been completed to the required standards and specifications.
