Experts in Design, Welding, Inspection and Integrity

By managing a substantial part of the inspection scope from an early stage, Keensight Consulting can help clients save significant time and cost. In many cases, this reduces the mandatory scope of the EU-CAB/NL-CBI to only a small portion of the total inspection programme.

What sets us apart is our practical approach, backed by extensive technical knowledge and real-world field experience. This allows potential issues to be identified and resolved early, before they lead to delays, rework or unnecessary cost.

Our inspection activities may include checks on:

• materials
• welding consumables
• weld preparations
• dimensions and straightness
• coating systems
• insulation and tracing

We can also represent and support our clients in technical discussions with the EU-CAB/NL-CBI to help achieve practical, compliant and workable solutions.

Keensight Consulting supports clients during the design, fabrication and installation of pressure equipment and piping systems.

We provide verification services for the full process, or for selected parts of it, including:

• piping systems and pipelines
• pressure vessels
• fittings
• valves and components
• all other pressure equipment

Our work is carried out in accordance with applicable legislation, standards and project requirements, including the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED), the Dutch Commodities Act Decree for Pressure Equipment (WBDA), and where applicable the PRDA and NEN 3656.

Our focus typically includes:

• materials
• welding processes
• inspection and test requirements
• preservation and protective coatings
• tracing and insulation

We can also support the preparation of:

• quality plans
• project specifications
• inspection plans
• drawing and documentation updates

Following new build, repairs or modifications, we can also update your inspection programme accordingly.

When purchasing products or equipment, Keensight Consulting can provide specialist advice in the areas of:

• welding engineering
• materials engineering
• strength and mechanical considerations
• design codes and specifications
• national and European regulatory requirements

This helps ensure that the selected products are not only technically suitable, but also fully aligned with the applicable codes, directives and compliance requirements.

Keensight Consulting is not an accredited Conformity Assessment Body. Instead, we focus on the practical verification work and technical support that normally sit with the owner/user or manufacturer.

The Conformity Assessment Body remains responsible for the required statutory review points and final verification. This often results in a more efficient process, better preparation and reduced overall project cost.

Keensight Consulting also provides support in the field of total corrosion management.

Our services may include:

• preparation of corrosion manuals
• annual corrosion inspections
• reporting and follow-up
• annual corrosion management reports

Corrosion Monitoring / Pressure Equipment

Where required, we can manage the complete inspection programme for:

• registered pressure equipment under the WBDA in accordance with the PRDA
• duty-of-care equipment based on an approved RBI methodology or model

This gives clients greater control over safety, integrity, compliance and long-term asset performance.

We also support structural integrity management during the operational phase.

Keensight Consulting can develop a multi-year inspection programme based on fatigue assessments and operational risk. Depending on the outcome, this may include:

• annual visual inspections
• five-yearly surface crack inspections
• inspection of designated critical nodes
• eddy current testing
• deployment of qualified rope access personnel where required

We can carry out an independent review of design documentation and engineering deliverables.

Our expertise includes the review of:

• flexibility analyses
• risk assessments, including HAZOPs and HAZIDs
• piping specifications
• structural specifications
• 3D model reviews
• isometrics and supports
• P&IDs
