Welding Inspection Services Limited was established in 1983 and has since developed into a trusted provider of Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) and inspection services. The company secured its first major contract with Aughinish Alumina Limited in 1987, at a time when the organisation consisted of just three employees. Around the same period, the company was also engaged in international work with Tullow Oil in Senegal. These early contracts laid the foundation for continued growth, leading to further contract awards with major industrial clients and a steady expansion of the workforce.
In 1989, the company carried out its first project for the ESB at Moneypoint Generating Station, marking the beginning of a long-standing relationship within the power generation sector. Since then, Welding Inspection Services Limited has worked across most power stations in the country, gaining extensive experience in the inspection of boilers and power plant systems. This expertise has been further strengthened through international projects, including work undertaken in Libya and the United Kingdom in 1991.
Today, the company employs a dedicated team of full-time and part-time personnel and supplements its capabilities with qualified NDT subcontractors when required. This flexible resourcing model ensures that projects of varying scale and complexity can be delivered efficiently while maintaining high technical standards.
Welding Inspection Services Limited continues to support a wide range of major clients across multiple industries. Its portfolio includes organisations such as RUSAL Aughinish Alumina, Atlantic Projects Company, Liebherr Container Cranes, Foynes Engineering Limited, ESB, Endesa, Kerry Food Ingredients, I.P.I., and Irish Rail. Through decades of industry experience, the company has built a strong reputation for delivering reliable, high-quality inspection services, ensuring safety, compliance, and operational integrity across all projects.
