Dilenza provides independent third-party inspection services in Brazil for manufacturers, EPC contractors, project owners, suppliers and international buyers requiring qualified technical inspection personnel.
Inspection can support individual manufacturing milestones, recurring supplier surveillance, offshore and energy projects, shutdown activities and long-term assignments at fabrication facilities, equipment manufacturers, shipyards and industrial project sites.
Each requirement is reviewed according to the equipment, materials, manufacturing processes, applicable standards, required qualifications, relevant industry experience, project location and assignment schedule.
Dilenza then identifies suitable inspector profiles for the technical and operational requirements of the project.

Different assignments require different profiles. Depending on the welding scope, qualifications may include:
Protective coating assignments may require:
Certification alone does not determine whether an inspector is suitable. Dilenza can also consider:
Brazilian manufacturers and project sites may operate under Brazilian, international and customer-specific requirements. Depending on the assignment, controlled documentation may reference:
The applicable standard should never be assumed purely from the industry or project location. The requirement should always be confirmed from:
Controlled project documentation may include:
The exact code, edition, acceptance criteria and inspection responsibility should always be determined from controlled project documentation.
Explore Standards & CodesFrom one supplier milestone to continuous or rotational technical presence throughout a major manufacturing or industrial program, the inspection model should follow the actual project requirement.
For one defined requirement.
For projects requiring technical attendance at several manufacturing or fabrication stages.
For long manufacturing or construction programs requiring continuous or frequent technical presence.
For extended assignments where inspection personnel are deployed through structured rotations. This can be particularly relevant for remote industrial or energy projects.
For concentrated maintenance, repair and modification programs.
For projects involving several Brazilian suppliers, suppliers in different Brazilian states, Brazil plus overseas manufacturing or complex international equipment packages.
International EPC contractors, project owners and industrial buyers may require independent vendor inspection in Brazil while equipment remains at the manufacturer. Inspection can be structured around the project's ITP and manufacturing schedule.
For one defined inspection or witness point.
For equipment requiring attendance throughout several production phases.
For longer manufacturing programs.
For defined inspection before manufacturing completion or release.
For major packages requiring continuous or frequent technical presence.
Third-party inspection can provide project owners, EPC contractors and international buyers with independent technical visibility while equipment remains under manufacture.
This can be particularly valuable where:
The exact inspection scope should follow the client's technical specification, ITP and assigned responsibilities.
The final project does not need to be located in Brazil for third-party inspection to be required there. Brazilian suppliers can manufacture equipment and structures for projects elsewhere in Latin America, North America, Europe, Africa, the Middle East or Asia. For example:

Dilenza can coordinate inspection requirements across several supplier locations while aligning:
Different suppliers. Different countries. One project requirement.
Where is the manufacturer, shipyard, fabrication facility or project site?
What is being manufactured, fabricated, tested or repaired?
What inspection expertise is required?
Which certification must the inspector hold?
Which codes and project specifications apply?
Offshore, oil & gas, pressure equipment, mining, heavy fabrication, machinery, marine projects or protective coatings?
One visit, recurring, resident, rotational or shutdown?
Because Brazil is geographically large, inspector location, travel requirements and project accessibility should form part of deployment planning.
Suitable inspector profiles can be submitted for technical assessment before assignment confirmation.
