Competencies

Integrated Technical Expertise — From Investigation to Implementation

INEXSE brings together a complete and coherent chain of technical competences required to resolve complex engineering problems in high-risk, industrial, and sensitive environments.

Our expertise covers the entire lifecycle of a technical issue — from initial investigation and analysis, through engineering and re-engineering, to practical implementation, repair, and final verification.

All competences are delivered by senior specialists, working under strict confidentiality and with a single technical responsibility.

1. Investigation, Diagnostics & Root-Cause Analysis

We intervene when failures, degradations, or abnormal behaviours are not clearly understood.

Our investigation capabilities combine field observation, analytical methods, and deep understanding of materials and operating conditions.

Competences include:

  • Failure investigation and technical troubleshooting

  • Root-cause analysis (RCA) of mechanical, structural, and process issues

  • Materials, metallurgy, welding, and corrosion analysis

  • Non-intrusive examination and condition assessment

  • Degradation mechanisms in aggressive or complex environments

  • Support to incident and abnormal event investigations

Our objective is to establish facts and mechanisms, not assumptions — providing a reliable technical basis for decision-making.

2. Integrity Engineering, Assessment & Life-Extension

Once causes and risks are identified, we evaluate the integrity and remaining fitness of assets and structures.

Competences include:

  • Fitness-for-service (FFS) evaluations

  • Mechanical and structural integrity assessments

  • Corrosion and degradation management

  • Risk-based inspection (RBI) input and review

  • Life-extension studies for aging assets

  • Definition of safe operating limits and mitigation measures

These assessments are grounded in operational reality and aligned with applicable codes, standards, and good engineering practice.

3. Engineering, Re-Engineering & Corrective Design

INEXSE develops engineering solutions that are practical, buildable, and adapted to real constraints.

Competences include:

  • Corrective and retrofit engineering

  • Re-engineering following failure, damage, or non-conformity

  • Repair and modification design

  • Structural reinforcement and adaptation

  • Engineering review and validation of third-party designs

  • Technical feasibility studies under constrained conditions

Our engineers design solutions with implementation in mind, avoiding theoretical approaches disconnected from fabrication or site realities.

4. Fabrication, Repair & Implementation Support

Unlike purely analytical consultancies, INEXSE supports the execution phase to ensure that engineered solutions are correctly implemented.

Competences include:

  • Definition of repair methodologies

  • Fabrication and construction support

  • Welding procedures, qualification, and supervision

  • Repair and modification supervision

  • Vendor and workshop technical oversight

  • Commissioning assistance and technical validation

This continuity between engineering and execution significantly reduces risk, delays, and misunderstandings.

5. Inspection, Audits & Independent Technical Assessment

INEXSE acts as a neutral third party for critical inspections and technical evaluations.

Competences include:

  • Asset integrity audits and condition surveys

  • Independent inspection management

  • Vendor, factory, and fabrication audits

  • Technical compliance and conformity assessment

  • Critical review of engineering and fabrication deliverables

  • Acceptance and readiness evaluations

Our independence ensures objective conclusions, free from commercial or contractual bias.

6. Specialized Technical Advisory

In specific situations, engineering expertise must be articulated clearly to support complex decisions or discussions.

Competences include:

  • Engineering-based technical opinions

  • Technical clarification in complex or disputed situations

  • Support to technical aspects of claims or disputes

  • Delay or variation analysis grounded in engineering facts

  • Risk and responsibility analysis from a technical standpoint

This activity remains strictly technical and fact-based, and is conducted with the same level of confidentiality as all INEXSE engagements.

A Single Chain of Responsibility

Across all competences, INEXSE applies the same principles:

  • Senior-level expertise only

  • One integrated technical team

  • Continuity from investigation to implementation

  • Practical, buildable solutions

  • Strict confidentiality

  • Independence and neutrality

We do not deliver isolated reports.
We deliver resolution.

Working With INEXSE

Clients engage INEXSE when:

  • Technical problems span multiple disciplines

  • Fragmented responsibility increases risk

  • Execution matters as much as analysis

  • Confidentiality and discretion are essential

INEXSE provides the clarity, technical depth, and continuity required to bring complex situations back under control.
