3rd Party Staffing

Supply of certified QA/QC professionals, CWIs, API 510/570/653 and NACE I/II inspectors, plus planners and P6 schedulers. We support your team for turnarounds, weld inspection, tank and piping surveys, and project scheduling so work is inspected, documented, and executed to spec.

About This Service

KUTS Field Services supplies experienced, certified personnel to strengthen your maintenance, turnaround, and construction teams. Our staffing pool includes Certified Welding Inspectors (CWI), API-certified inspectors for pressure vessels, piping, and tanks (API 510, 570, 653), NACE corrosion/coatings inspectors (Level I / II), QA/QC leads, and Primavera P6 planners/schedulers. We plug directly into your project team and deliver the technical oversight and documentation you need to move safely—and on schedule.

Inspect tanks and determine repair scopes and repair acceptability per API 653.
Survey piping systems for corrosion, thinning, and recommend mitigation per API 570 and NACE guidance.
