IPS has its soul set in ‘Progress Through Innovation’ aimed to continuously provide the best and most efficient service by challenging the norm.

From the adoption of ‘de Bono’ lateral thinking techniques we are constantly looking at areas to challenge and improve our service offering. The result can range from major changes to the implementation of simple ‘Kanban’ visual systems, which optimise the management of work as it moves through the process.

By working across various industries, IPS continues to enhance its service by taking best practices across the different sectors and integrating them into their workflow.

Our services are all certified under DNV ISO9001:2015 and aligned to IPS values (our Spirit). We work across the following sectors:

• Oil & Gas
• Petrochemicals
• Renewables
• Subsea
• Marine
• Construction

We undertake all types of fabrication scopes and coordinate all aspects of the project from material supply and manufacture, through to NDT, pressure testing, and coating before delivery. All the scopes are reviewed by IPS welding engineering at the quote stage to ensure that the correct procedure is applied.

Our fabrication facilities and systems allow us to undertake:

1. Pipework
   IPS undertake all aspects of piping including PED Cat I, II & III (Lloyds PED Module D & B certification) covering all sizes and various materials from carbon steel and exotics (inc. stainless steels, super-duplex, duplex, nickel alloys, cunifer 90/10) to many dissimilar metal combinations.
   
   
2. Structural
   IPS undertake all aspects of structural fabrication covering all sizes and various materials including carbon steel, stainless steel and aluminium.
   

Every scope regardless of scope size, from a single repair order to large projects, is treated with equal importance and delivered to the same high standard.

Where required we closely liaise with clients to provide bespoke solutions.

We place the upmost attention to calibre of personnel we provide for site work. These are representative of IPS and thus required to follow our high standards.

IPS believe the high standard of fabrication and welding in IPS workshops should be applied to its site personnel. Every trade personnel is subject to rigorous training and competency re-valuations. Not only have we monitored their trade skills but their personality, culture and attitude ensuring our clients gets the right person for the job.

We have supplied welders, pipe-fitters, platers, welding inspectors, and quality assurance/control personnel: to sites offshore, across the UK, all over Europe, and world-wide.

IPS formula for ensuring successful offshore/site welded scopes (φ) is:

α × β × γ = φ

Where (all provided by IPS as required):

α = right procedure

β = right qualified welder

γ = right equipment

IPS understand the importance of every element and can support one or all components to provide
a ‘right first time’ outcome.

We offer 3 rd party welding engineering services to the same high standard that we undertake for our own requirements. All our systems and procedures are certified as part of our ISO9001:2015 certification.

IPS can evaluate all your welding requirements, assess your welding procedures and support including:

• Welding Procedure Development
• Welder/Procedure Qualifications
• On-site Weld Monitoring and Assessment
• Welding Consultancy Services
• Welding Technical Support
• Welder Coaching and Training
  

We can manage every step from material supply, perform the welding, Notified Body (NoBo) management, NDT and material/mechanical testing. Our flexible model allows the client to choose which parts of the service you wish IPS to undertake.
