Ports

A working port is more than the quayside — cranes and marine equipment sit alongside offices, control rooms, warehouses and workshops that all need the same rigour applied. Salt air and round the clock cargo operations put more strain on these buildings than almost any inland site, so we test the full estate, not just the areas nearest the water.

Quayside cranes and cargo handling equipment are usually covered by periodic fixed wire testing and EICR inspections to BS 7671, extended across warehouses, workshops, offices and control rooms. Thermal imaging surveys catch corrosion related faults in dockside machinery early, while PAT testing covers portable equipment in offices and control rooms. Emergency lighting under BS 5266 and fire alarm testing to BS 5839 keep warehouses and cargo sheds safe through continuous shift operations.

Engineers are briefed on port security and restricted zone access before every visit, whether that means working dockside or in an office block, and work fits around your shift patterns and vessel arrivals. Reports are written to withstand scrutiny from harbour authorities, insurers and your own compliance team.

Covers Your Full Port Estate

Testing covers every building on site, from marine equipment exposed to salt air to offices and control rooms.

Shift Pattern Scheduling

Visits are planned around your shift patterns and vessel arrivals, so testing never interferes with continuous cargo operations.

Port Security Briefed

Engineers are briefed on port security and restricted zone access before every visit, whatever clearance level is required.

Renewals Around Vessel Schedules

We plan renewal visits around vessel schedules and quiet windows, so certification stays current without disrupting cargo movements.
