Our activities

 

Our long-standing experience in Acea's business sectors (hydraulic, energy and environmental infrastructure) enables us to carry out inspections, examinations, checks and tests to assess the technical compliance of works with the requirements set out in the design and the contract, in order to meet our client's needs. The main services we offer are:

Static
Testing

 

We analyse structural calculations, reports and construction details, and carry out periodic inspections during the construction phases to verify consistency between the design and the works carried out. We examine documentation relating to the structural materials used, plan load tests to be carried out by accredited laboratories to assess structural response under load, and certify the stability and proper execution of the works.

Functional
Testing

 

We assess the quality of various types of plant by carrying out functional tests and checks aimed at verifying that they comply with specific industry standards and/or contractual requirements.

Technical and Administrative Inspections

 

We oversee the proper execution of contracts, verifying the contractual, documentary, economic and administrative compliance of works, services and supplies.

Materials Testing
and Acceptance

 

We carry out tests, checks and verifications on materials, components, machinery and equipment, including at suppliers' premises, to ensure their technical compliance and fitness for use.
