Bureau Veritas has provided quality assurance services in both China and the UK for a successful project with Babcock Marine to design and construct a 1000-ton Goliath crane.
Bureau Veritas was chosen as a key inspection services partner by Babcock Marine for the design and construction of a mammoth crane. The crane, the biggest in the UK, was ordered by the prestigious Aircraft Carrier Alliance of the British Royal Navy. The role of Bureau Veritas was to provide a comprehensive range of third party Quality Assurance services throughout the project, from design review to commissioning.
Thanks to a seamless organization, connecting a robust international team with local managers in China, technical issues were efficiently dealt with, greatly contributing to the delivery date being successfully achieved.
