Who we are

An independent assurance firm, built and run by rig people.

We exist for one reason: to tell operators, contractors and underwriters the truth about whether a drilling asset is safe to work, before it costs them a life, a day or a claim.

We operate strictly as a third party. We do not sell drilling equipment, lifting gear or training products. That independence is the reason our certificates are accepted by regulators, partners and insurers without question.

Our track record

By the numbers

A decade of putting our name on certificates that hold up under scrutiny.

12+ Years on-rig experience
180+ Assets certified
3 Continents covered
0 Lost-time incidents
Our mission

Zero-compromise rig assurance.

To raise the safety and integrity standard of every rig we touch - through honest inspection, expert engineering and zero-compromise reporting.

  • ISO 17020-aligned inspection methodology
  • Independent third-party status, no equipment sales
  • Digital asset registers handed over on close-out
  • 24/7 emergency mobilisation worldwide

Safety First, Always

We will not sign a certificate to please a schedule. If it's not safe, we say so, and we help you fix it.

Engineering Honesty

Findings are reported as we see them, with photos and evidence, not softened to keep clients comfortable.

Field Practicality

Every recommendation is one that can actually be executed on a working rig with the time and crew available.

Owned Outcomes

We close the loop. Every finding is tracked to verified resolution, not handed off and forgotten.

How we work

From call-out to verified close-out

A consistent, defensible process on every engagement, whether it's a planned audit or a 2 a.m. stack failure.

  1. Scope & mobilise

    We agree the asset, standard and window with you, then put a named inspector on the job, on the helideck within 48 hours for unplanned work.

    ResultNo anonymous hand-offs. You know exactly who is doing the work.

  2. Inspect to the standard

    Work is carried out to the relevant API, IADC, DNV, LEEA or ISO 17020 programme, never softened to fit a schedule.

    ResultCertificates regulators and insurers accept on the first read.

  3. Report with evidence

    Every finding is photographed, geo-tagged and severity-ranked in a digital register you keep.

    ResultEvidence that holds up under regulator, partner and insurer scrutiny.

  4. Close the loop

    We track every finding through to verified resolution, not handed off and forgotten.

    ResultA finding isn't closed until it's actually fixed and re-checked.

We never sell the equipment we inspect. The only thing we have to protect is the value of our signature, so we protect it absolutely.
