About SQS

Independent Inspection, Expediting and Assurance Services for Global Projects

SQS is an independent inspection, expediting and supply chain assurance company supporting EPC contractors, operators and manufacturers worldwide.

We work as an extension of our clients’ project teams, providing independent inspection services and assurance that critical equipment and projects are built, tested and handed over correctly - so they perform as intended and don’t fail when it matters most.

By combining experienced, qualified specialists with human-led AI inspection and digital tools, we provide real-time visibility into quality, progress, safety and compliance across the asset lifecycle. This enables faster, more confident decision-making - before issues become delays, rework or failures.

The result - greater certainty, stronger asset performance and projects that keep moving.

Why SQS

In complex, asset-intensive projects, the biggest risks rarely appear early.
They emerge later - during testing, commissioning or operation - when the impact is most costly and disruptive.

These challenges are often driven by:

Limited visibility into how equipment is actually being manufactured
Inconsistent oversight across suppliers, sites and global locations
Issues identified too late to resolve without delay or rework
Gaps in specialist inspection or assurance capability at critical stages

SQS exists to address these risks through independent inspection, expediting and assurance services - combining on-the-ground expertise with AI-enabled inspection tools to identify issues earlier and support decisive action.
