Fixed Equipment Reliability (FER) is a leading provider of API and NDE inspection services, helping clients to meet OSHA Regulation 1910.119 requirements for managing the mechanical integrity of equipment to prevent chemical releases. Our approach to success is simple: anticipate our clients' needs and adapt to the changing industry.

To streamline the process of acquiring and analyzing data in our clients' databases (such as Meridium, PCMS, UltraPIPE, and other IDMS Programs), we have developed custom software that eliminates common errors in manual data entry. The process has been successfully implemented in turnarounds and projects alike since the inception of the company. Our team of inspection and quality assurance specialists, with a deep understanding of various data management systems, allows us to stand out from the competition in the field of process management.

In addition to our expertise in inspection and data management, we pride ourselves on our ability to anticipate and adapt to our clients' needs. Whether it's custom software development or field execution, we are committed to delivering top-quality services to ensure the safety and reliability of our clients' equipment. With a team of experienced professionals and a track record of success, FER is the go-to choice for API and NDE inspection services.
