Techservices (North East) Ltd are working towards BS17020 to carry out examinations and inspections in the following fields of expertise:

INSPECTORS

Our dedicated team are continuously trained to the highest levels within accordance to the nature and place of required business. Due to our expertise in these fields many organisations are adapting their work methods to integrate with our systems.

LIFTING EQUIPMENT

We are able to carry out examinations of all types of lifting equipment and produce a register as required. This includes both 6 and 12 monthly visits as stated in the lifting operations and lifting equipment regulations 1998.  As all lifting equipment needs to be certified for Health and Safety purposes we can proof load test and certify your equipment, utilising dead weight or calibrated load cell equipment.

PRESSURE SYSTEMS

We are able to provide written schemes for the examination and testing or pressure systems in accordance with the pressure system safety regulations 2000.  If pressure equipment fails in use, it can seriously injure or kill people nearby and cause serious damage to property.  Techservices can carry out the examinations of the pressure system in accordance to the written scheme and the regulations.

ELECTRICAL

We carry our electrical inspections of equipment and industrial buildings in accordance with the electricity at work regulations 1989.  This element of electrical inspection and testing is incorporated within examinations of powered lifting equipment.

We have qualified personnel for carrying out magnetic particle inspection (MPI) on components and welds.  Please contact us with your enquiry regarding non-destructive testing and we can happily advise.
