The Technical Center

Bureau Veritas helps give you confidence. As a global leader in Testing, Inspection, & Certification (TIC) that often means having skilled inspectors and technicians present while critical testing is done, or auditors combing through the details of a procedure, or laboratories verifying that a product is what it should be.

But sometimes the path to real confidence requires scientific expertise and engineering experience. Bureau Veritas has created a pattern of Technical Centers across the globe to bring together the technical leaders that can solve engineering problems and confirm safety, reliability, and compliance for tools, processes, and facilities.

Headquartered in Houston, TX, the North America Technical Center provides local expertise to help solve your problems. We also have access to Bureau Veritas’s worldwide Technical Center network to make sure the right experience is on hand for your project.

    Houston Tech Center

    Based in the energy capital of North America, our technical center group is able to help you certify, verify, and validate that your critical tools and processes will work. With the right expertise in place locally and globally, we can provide certification to many international standards (EN 10204, API 653, API 6A, DNV-ST-E273, and more), even providing a Professional Engineer’s (P.E.) review if needed.

    In addition to the tool-level reviews, we are engaged with many customers providing regulatory support as Certified Verification Agents (CVA) or similar. We partner with the facility owner to prove to the regulators that all facets of a project are completed according to the rules and following all safeguards expected.

    We can also help you gain confidence in the quality of your complex supply chains, auditing and assessing manufacturers all over the world to make sure they are able to get you the specified equipment without issue.
