The company

Providing precision inspection and measurement services for clients across the globe, OMS leads the way in engineering excellence for industries including oil and gas, aerospace and civil engineering. The company黑料社檚 solutions, tools and services make a significant difference to engineering projects worldwide, ensuring accuracy, reducing downtime and assisting with legal and regulatory compliance. In the case of oil and gas, in both the onshore and offshore installations, the accurate dimensional measurement of pipes is critical to the pipe manufacturing, welding and construction processes.

Weld inspection tool

OMS was shortlisted in part for the design and development of its latest weld inspection tool, the Auga^TM. The tool is able to analyse the critical internal girth features of oil and gas pipeline welds in the firing line.
