LSource places qualified, impartial inspectors on the ground across the oil & gas, power generation, and heavy industry supply chain — so the equipment you release is exactly the equipment you specified.
LSource provides third-party inspection (TPI) and vendor surveillance services across the oil & gas, power generation, and heavy industry sectors — principally in support of complex, multi-tier supply chains. Clients rely on our inspection results, reports, and certifications to make decisions about the acceptance, release, and safety of equipment and materials.
We align our practices with the principles of ISO/IEC 17020 (requirements for bodies performing inspection) and ISO 9001, applying them consistently across in-house and subcontracted inspection resources — and we treat impartiality as a condition of engagement for every inspector who represents LSource on a client or vendor site.
"Commercial or scheduling pressure must never be permitted to override an inspector's technical judgement on conformance."
Every inspector we assign holds the obligation to reject nonconforming work, place a hold on release, or decline to sign a document the inspector cannot support. No prior approval is needed. That right is written into our Quality Policy, not left to individual discretion.

Capability Statement (PDF)Mechanical and electrical scopes are staffed and reported as separate specialist tracks, not one generalist checklist — because the acceptance criteria, standards, and hold points rarely overlap.
Pre-shipment and in-process inspection of mechanical equipment, pressure vessels, piping, structural fabrication, and rotating machinery.
Factory acceptance testing and in-process inspection of electrical panels, switchgear, field instrumentation, and control systems.
Active monitoring of supplier delivery schedules to flag delays early and drive on-time delivery — built for EPC contractors and project procurement teams.
Structured assessment of supplier quality management systems, welding and production standards, and compliance with client-specific requirements.
Energy companies and their equipment & material suppliers, across upstream, midstream, and power generation.
EPC contractors and their multi-tier procurement chains, from OEM package suppliers down to local fabrication workshops.
Testing, Inspection, and Certification companies looking for reliable inspection capacity in Europe and Canada.
Companies receiving purchase orders directly from the EPC contractor.
Machined parts, forgings, castings, controls, motors, seals, electronics, fabrication.
Smaller suppliers well suited to inspection, expediting, and supplier audit services.
Field-log entries are kept in English, matching the language used in reporting to international clients.
Outcomes: nonconformances caught, delays avoided, rework prevented.
