Overview of Construction
New construction projects, as well as expansion and modification projects, are constantly occurring in the petroleum (downstream, midstream, upstream) and chemical processing industries. Refineries, chemical plants, oil rigs, and pipelines are being built and/or modified around the world to help operators produce, process, and transport oil and gas. Proper quality assurance (QA) and quality control (QC) are essential for ensuring the short and long-term safety and reliability of newly constructed structures and equipment.
