Exceptional Customer
Experience, Superior Results

W hen working with Bureau Veritas, you can rest assured that you not only are working
with the most qualified technical experts in the QEHS field…you’re also guaranteed
an exceptional customer experience!

We’re here to help, and that is the attitude that we continue to carry when working with our clients. Our
services provide three essential results: license to operate, risk management, and performance improvement.

License to operate Risk Management Performance Improvement

Companies must comply
with regulatory requirements
that vary from state to state
and apply to each business
process in terms of quality,
environmental, health, and
safety issues. We help our
clients evaluate and achieve
compliance, and can certify
to national and international
standards.
QEHS risks abound in today’s
business environment.
Working with Bureau Veritas,
an independent third party
partner, helps equip compa-
nies with the fully objective
means to find preventive and
durable solutions to your risk
management issues.
Asset integrity, employee
productivity, preventive main-
tenance, and cost controls are
equally important factors in
creating value. Bureau Veritas
advises its clients and proposes
technical solutions to promote
optimal performance from
your operations, contributing
to the bottom line.
 Quality Assurance and
Construction Materials Testing
Bureau Veritas is a National Leader in providing Geotechnical Engineering and
Construction Materials Testing and Inspection Services. Geotechnical Engineering
and quality assurance testing and inspection requires a consulting engineering
firm that is both knowledgeable and experienced in the local geology, as well as
regional and national standards. Field testing and inspection services during the
construction process are important to detect any unanticipated subsurface
conditions and confirm that recommendations and project specifications
are being strictly met.

Steel & Welding Inspections

Bureau Veritas’ steel and welding inspection activities are designed to
address all aspects of the fabricated and erected structure. Our involve-
ment initiates prior to fabrication with the conception of a formal inspec-
tion program and progresses through the review of Certified Material
Test Reports for procured raw material. At each step of the fabrication and
erection process, the compliance of each operation to project specifications
is documented for historical reference. The result is a finished product,
compliant to specified quality, thereby preventing costly construction delays,
and increasing the probability for a sustained usable life.

Construction Code Compliance/Building Safety

Bureau Veritas provides services to ensure safe and durable built
environments. Services include Plan Review, Inspections, Administration,
Civil Plan Review and Inspections, Third Party Plan Review and Inspections,
Fire Plan Review, and Disaster Recovery Programs. We increase the value
of our services through continuous efforts to ensure consistency across
offices and maintain reliability through extensive internal audits
and systematic risk management reviews.
