Solid Offshore Technology AS has delivered inspection and verification services as core business since the start. Now the company has been certified as an enterpise of competence ("sakkyndig virksomhet") within inspection of lifting appliances.
- Earlier we have been using sub contractors to provide these services when customers have asked for help in individual cases. By taking this in-house we will be able to take control of every part in the delivery chain for this service, says technical manager Terje Bach.
Operational manager, Bernt Nielsen, says that this certification is an important milestone and that customers first of all will experience this as a more efficient service now that the process is within the company's own organization.
The next step is to hire more people to develope this segment further. - We need more expertise within the area of lifting appliances, tells the Managing Director Frode Tolcsiner and continues - at least 5 engineers and/or NMD approved competent persons.
