    Bureau Veritas Technical Centre Network


    The Bureau Veritas technical centre network is the backbone of the engineering expertise of the Group, bringing to our clients’ doorstep the best of Bureau Veritas knowledge in terms of design compliance appraisal, asset integrity management and risk and safety studies.

    Each technical centre is staffed with highly qualified engineers of all disciplines, who have accumulated an impressive track record of industry hands-on experience and are able to address technical issues related to all types of Oil & Gas facilities: both onshore and offshore, from exploration to distribution.

    Bureau Veritas’ technical centre mission is to contribute to the safety of your installations by certifying design compliance to standards, providing solid inspection engineering support and helping you identify, quantify, reduce and manage the risks associated with operating the facilities.


    Bureau Veritas Global Tecnical Centre Network



    Global Services



    Whether you are operating in the upstream, midstream, or downstream part of the oil & gas industry, you know that pressure from Governments and environmental organisations have forced environmental issues centre-stage, while traditional safety and reliability issues are even more acute as the industry is fuelled by strong demand.



    We can help you from the design of your new facilities (CAPEX), in deep water, offshore or onshore to the maintenance and operation of existing ones (OPEX): our scope of services, going far beyond traditional conformity assessment, encompasses also asset integrity management-related services, training and consulting on Oil & Gas and LNG markets.
