QA / QC

Quality Today. Reliable Operations Tomorrow.

Al-Etimad provides specialized Quality Assurance and Quality Control support for drilling rigs, workover rigs and associated oil & gas equipment.

Our QA/QC approach helps ensure that materials, fabrication, assembly, installation, testing and documentation comply with approved project requirements before final acceptance.

QA / QC Support

Quality should not be checked only at final completion. It should be controlled throughout engineering, procurement, fabrication, assembly, installation, testing and commissioning.

Al-Etimad supports rig owners, drilling contractors, operators and OEM manufacturers by establishing and monitoring structured quality processes throughout the complete project lifecycle.

Why It Matters

Quality Builds Reliability

Effective QA/QC reduces project risk, helps prevent costly rework and improves confidence that equipment is ready for its intended operating conditions.

Our independent and structured approach helps identify quality issues earlier, when corrective action is easier and less costly.

Improved equipment reliability
Reduced manufacturing and commissioning risk
Better traceability and documentation
Early identification of potential issues
Greater confidence for client acceptance
Independent Quality Control
for a Safer Tomorrow.
Quality Control System

Structured Quality, NCR & Corrective Action Management

Quality issues should be documented, investigated, corrected and formally verified before closure.

ITP

Inspection & Test Plans

Monitoring hold points, witness points and defined quality activities.

  • Inspection stages
  • Witness points
  • Hold points
  • Acceptance criteria
NCR

Non-Conformity Management

Non-compliant conditions are documented and tracked through technical closure.

  • Issue identification
  • Technical assessment
  • Corrective action
  • Re-inspection
CAPA

Corrective & Preventive Action

CAPA helps address immediate deficiencies and reduce the likelihood of recurrence.

  • Root-cause analysis
  • Corrective action
  • Preventive action
  • Effectiveness verification
TRACE

Quality Documentation

Quality records should accurately represent what was manufactured, inspected and tested.

  • Inspection reports
  • Material certificates
  • Testing records
  • MRB verification
Quality at the Source

OEM Manufacturing Quality Surveillance

Many drilling rigs and major equipment packages are manufactured overseas. Continuous quality oversight during manufacturing can help identify issues before equipment reaches the final operating location.
