Downstream, Chemicals

Your partner during your asset’s entire life cycle

We play a vital role in supporting downstream and chemicals companies in the construction and operation of facilities. We focus on anticipating, reducing and managing risk right from the design stage, ensuring long-term asset integrity. This continues once the facility is in operation, with periodic inspections and non-destructive testing.

We are also involved in your marketing and trading activities through testing the composition and quality of your products via our global network of laboratories, at your sites, your client’s sites, or at ports.
