Refinery Shutdown Inspection
30+ NDT technicians and welding inspectors deployed for a major refinery turnaround inspection campaign. Zero missed defects across all critical welds and pressure boundaries.
The inspection and QA/QC team is the last line of defense between a safely operating plant and a catastrophic failure. Metro Manpower supplies certified inspection professionals for both EPC project execution and ongoing asset integrity programmes across India.




Quality is not a department — it’s a discipline that runs through every weld, every bolt, every pressure test, and every dimensional check on a heavy industry project. An undetected defect during construction becomes a safety incident during operations.
Metro Manpower supplies certified inspection and QA/QC professionals for both project execution and ongoing asset integrity programmes across India. Our inspectors carry API, ASNT, CSWIP, BGAS, and NACE certifications — the international qualifications that major EPC contractors and asset owners require.
We serve both sides of the inspection market: EPC contractors who need QC teams during construction, and third-party inspection agencies like DNV, SGS, Bureau Veritas, and IRClass who subcontract individual inspectors. This dual market experience means our candidates understand both perspectives.
Every inspector we deploy has been verified for certification validity, relevant industry experience, and specific code familiarity. In the inspection world, an expired certification or an inspector unfamiliar with the applicable code is not just a compliance issue — it’s a liability.
Tell us the certifications and codes your project requires — we’ll present verified candidates in 48 hours.
