Inspection, QA/QC & Testing

Traceable technical assurance from supplier package to site acceptance.

Capability overview

Inspection, QA/QC & Testing

FORMĚS supports inspection and quality activities through QA/QC, site and shop inspection, supplier audit, testing coordination, compliance review and digital inspection workflows.

Capability set

What each service actually contributes.

The services below are not interchangeable labels. Each answers a different technical question and is scoped according to the evidence, project stage and required level of assurance.

01

Quality Assurance & Quality Control (QA/QC)

Inspect & Assure
Use this service

Planning and verification of project-quality controls so acceptance criteria, inspections, records, nonconformities and closure remain traceable.

When it becomes useful

Used during procurement, fabrication and construction where the project needs a disciplined quality system and objective evidence of conformance.

Typical technical outputs
  • Quality plans / ITP support
  • QA/QC records and findings
  • NCR / closure tracking
02

Site & Shop Inspection — 1st, 2nd & 3rd Party

Inspect & Assure
Use this service

Inspection of site work, fabrication, equipment or materials against defined drawings, specifications, procedures and acceptance requirements.

When it becomes useful

Used at source, fabrication shops or construction sites where independent or project-specific verification is required before release, installation or acceptance.

Typical technical outputs
  • Inspection reports
  • Witness / hold-point records
  • Observations, nonconformities and release evidence

Delivery / qualification noteThe level of independence and any project-specific qualification requirements are defined by the appointment and applicable contract.

03

Material Testing & Consultancy

Inspect & Assure
Use this service

Selection, coordination and engineering interpretation of material tests to answer a defined question about quality, condition, compliance or performance.

When it becomes useful

Relevant when field observations or project requirements cannot be resolved reliably through visual inspection or documentation alone.

Typical technical outputs
  • Testing scope / coordination
  • Results interpretation
  • Engineering conclusions and recommendations

Delivery / qualification noteTesting requiring accredited laboratories or specialist equipment may be performed through qualified partners.

04

Supply Chain Audit

Inspect & Assure
Use this service

Technical and quality-focused review of supplier, manufacturer or fabricator controls, records, processes and traceability across the supply chain.

When it becomes useful

Relevant for critical suppliers, recurring quality concerns, vendor surveillance or procurement packages with elevated delivery risk.

Typical technical outputs
  • Supplier / process audit findings
  • Traceability and control gaps
  • Corrective-action recommendations
05

Compliance Audit

Assess & Protect Assets
Use this service

Structured review of technical records, asset conditions or project processes against the applicable contractual, regulatory, standard or procedural requirements.

When it becomes useful

Used where management needs a clear evidence-based picture of conformance, gaps and actions rather than an informal review.

Typical technical outputs
  • Compliance matrix / findings
  • Gap and action register
  • Closure recommendations
06

Digital Inspection Workflows

Digitalize & Coordinate
Use this service

Digitization of inspection planning, checklists, evidence, observations, nonconformities, approvals and closure into a controlled traceable workflow.

When it becomes useful

Used where paper, spreadsheets or disconnected records make it difficult to understand inspection status and evidence quality in real time.

Typical technical outputs
  • Digital inspection workflow
  • Traceable inspection / NCR records
  • Status and closeout reporting
07

Infrared Imaging

Digitalize & Coordinate
Use this service

Thermal imaging used as a non-destructive screening method to identify temperature anomalies that can guide focused technical investigation.

When it becomes useful

Relevant for building envelope, MEP, electrical, moisture or other condition questions where thermal contrast can reveal otherwise hidden anomalies.

Typical technical outputs
  • Thermal imagery / anomaly map
  • Inspection observations
  • Recommendations for verification or corrective action

Delivery / qualification noteInterpretation is tied to the inspection objective and site conditions; specialist equipment or operators may be used where required.

08

Aerial Drone Inspection

Digitalize & Coordinate
Use this service

Remote visual, photographic or sensor-enabled capture of difficult-access assets to improve coverage, repeatability and evidence available for engineering review.

When it becomes useful

Relevant for roofs, façades, towers, infrastructure and large or difficult-access areas where conventional access is inefficient or disruptive.

Typical technical outputs
  • Aerial inspection imagery / evidence
  • Mapped observations
  • Engineering review inputs

Delivery / qualification noteDrone operations are subject to applicable permissions, site controls and operator qualification; specialist capture may be partner-supported.

09

Unmanned Robot Inspection

Digitalize & Coordinate
Use this service

Use of remote or robotic inspection platforms to collect evidence in constrained, hazardous or difficult-access environments while reducing unnecessary personnel exposure.

When it becomes useful

Relevant where conventional access is impractical and the required evidence can be captured through a suitable robotic platform.

Typical technical outputs
  • Remote inspection evidence
  • Mapped observations / records
  • Engineering assessment inputs

Delivery / qualification noteRobot platforms and specialist operators may be provided through qualified technology partners according to the inspection environment.
