Augustus Provides Independent Consulting and Quality Control Services
We provide the services you need for the confidence you can startup without leaks. We do not sell tools or software nor do we provide flange makeup or leak correction services.
We can provide personnel and trained inspectors certified to our ASNT SNT-TC-1A program for QC oversight of in-house and contract assembly personnel. And we add value by focusing our efforts using Risk Based Principles to identify critical applications and recommendations and assistance with software such as Asset 55s IQ package for management of programs if desired..

Asset55 has developed state of the art flange management software that is used to enable personnel to develop procedures that work; and to track flange status through completion and quality. The software is truly unique in that in addition to factoring in the many variables influencing the ability to create a tight joint the user is able to consider tool variability and capability to choose the right set of tools for the task at hand.
Procedures are tracked to completion using the software to create a managed return to service following a Turnaround or Initial Startup of a Unit or Plant.
