Energy, Oil and Gas

Through our international network, Apave works on large-scale projects in the energy and oil and gas sector.

In the last 10-plus years, we have sharply increased our activities in the oil and gas industry through our network.

Non-destructive testing—radiography, dye penetrant testing, magnetic particle inspection, ultrasound, TOFD and Foucault current testing—accounts for a high volume of Apave’s services, followed by lifting inspection, inspection of electrical equipment and pressure devices and tubular inspection (inspection drill rods). Services such as corrosion inspection and safety valve inspection are experiencing sharp growth.
