The (petro)chemical industry is complex, investment-intensive and relies heavily on properly functioning assets and processes for its profitability. For it to run smoothly, strict requirements are in place for proper design, routines and equipment control as well as for trained and experienced employees. Environmental care is becoming more and more important; leakages or breakdowns that could harm the environment or your company image are literally unaffordable. Kiwa provides a broad range of services in the Oil, Gas and Chemicals sector to help you make sure your operations and employees, plants, storage systems, (transport) pipelines and other facilities are in optimal condition. We participate during maintenance stoppages and in your renovation, modernisation and investment plans. This allows you to minimise risks, maximise safety, uptime and sustainability and face challenges - today and tomorrow.
