Check your compliance

Construction, renovation and modification sites are subject to numerous controls in order to limit the risk, not only on the site itself, but also for the future operator of the premises. From structural or architectural modifications to improve a factory to the construction of an infrastructure intended to receive the public, numerous regulations have been put in place to reduce occupational risks. Apave works with you throughout your project to guarantee the safety of people and property by ensuring that your installations comply with current regulations.

Your challenges involve managing human, environmental, technical and energy risks. Apave is at your side from :

- The design phase to bring your project to fruition (project management assistance for your industrial projects, verification of machine compliance, pressure equipment, ATEX, EMC, electricity, assistance with CE or UKCA marking of your goods and products, etc.).

- The commissioning phase to ensure that your project is compliant (conformity assessment of your equipment and machinery, drafting of technical files, initial verification of electrical installations, etc.).
The operating phase to guarantee safety (optimising the cost of compliance and control of technical risks, performance of your process, reliability approach, safety and availability of your installation, etc.).

- The maintenance phase to maintain the performance of your facilities and equipment (extending the life of your equipment with NDT, controlling the risks of your shutdowns and checking that procedures are followed, adhering to schedules, energy efficiency, etc.).

- The end-of-life phase to anticipate ageing and ensure safety (technical health check of an installation with assessment of associated costs, improvement plan, etc.).

Infrastructure, industrial assets and engineering materials are the core of your assets. It is therefore essential that they are reliable and robust to avoid any failure, breakdown or other significant impact on the safety of personnel, the environment, the economy and reputation. Apave works in your industrial facilities, checking the physical and mechanical properties of your installations and products.

Ensure the quality of your products, equipment, and materials before they are shipped from the manufacturer.
Source inspection is a quality control process that involves checking the product before it is shipped to the final user. This inspection is usually requested by the buyer to verify that the product meets quality standards, complies with regulations, and aligns with the client’s requirements. Conducted at supplier and vendor sites, source inspections play a critical role in maintaining quality control from the very beginning of the supply chain.

Industrial goods, engineering materials, and product forms are the building blocks of an industrial facility. The soundness of these materials and product forms, in terms of the required chemical composition, physical and mechanical properties, homogeneity, and other factors, is crucial for their performance. Ensuring this soundness helps avoid premature failures that can result in accidents or breakdowns of plants or machinery, thus significantly impacting the safety of personnel, the environment, the economy, and the organization’s reputation.

Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) is a branch of testing that provides great advantages to the science and technology industry sectors due to its ability to evaluate the properties of materials using techniques that do not cause damage. It is an important solution for industrial inspection, especially for welding inspection and corrosion monitoring.

NDT application in manufacturing & installation processes help ensure:

• - High levels of quality, while increasing the product safety and compliance
• - Low prices by reducing waste product, material and workforce preservation
• - Improvement of prestige and competitiveness in the market

NDT application in operational processes allow clients to:

• - Ensure the safety of operating systems
• - Reduce and save on maintenance costs
• - Reduce amount of  time spent on plant shutdowns for maintenance purposes
