In January 2013, a super-large petroleum and petrochemical enterprise group awarded SGS a contract to inspect five gas turbine engines of 16MW each used for the production of electric power in Ukraine. Four SGS Ukraine experts are performing high-level on-site inspections and applying testing methods according to international standards during production at the power plant in the city of Nikolaev. Inspectors are working full-time, six days a week and dealing with an enormous amount of technical and shipping documentation. Currently contracted for six and a half months, SGS inspections could last until the end of 2013.

SGS Ukraine is extensively experienced in the inspection and testing of various types of turbines and is extremely competent in projects of this kind. SGS Ukraine has also successfully worked with this particular client on similar projects in the past.
