| Professional Engineering Service |
| Design Criteria |
At the onset of the project, we assist in establishing design criteria to identify basic parameters and performance requirements. These criteria form the basis for the specifications. |
| Specifications |
Focused on securing reliable, maintainable equipment at a reasonable cost, we develop both detailed and performance-oriented specifications and contract documents for new or overhauled products. |
| Procurement Strategy |
Our experience with the various procurement strategies–negotiated, low bid, two-steps–can help our clients understand the best approach for their procurements. |
| Bid Evaluation |
We assist clients in evaluating proposals and bids from qualified vendors. Our ability to make professional judgments concerning technical and contractual issues is based on having worked with virtually all of the world's leading manufacturers and suppliers. |
| Engineering During Manufacture |
| We provide client support during review of design submittals, drawings, technical documents and contract submittals. |
| Inspection Services |
| We provide source inspection, quality assurance monitoring, and final inspection of hardware during manufacture. As an independent inspection resource, SSISB has saved clients millions of dollars in retrofit, modifications and maintenance costs, and many of our recommended product improvements have resulted in increased reliability and maintainability. |
| Testing |
| Knowledgeable in all phases of mechanical and component testing, our engineers and inspectors are qualified to review and approve test procedures and to witness both static and dynamic tests. Our capabilities include tests to prove compliance with performance requirements. |
| Warranty Administration |
| During the warranty phase, we review failures and failure data, working with the contractor to resolve warranty issues. SSISB also recommends modifications and retrofits to correct deficiencies and meet client needs. |
| Repair Maintenance |
| We inspect and evaluate damaged parts to determine if repair is cost-effective. When it is, we design structural repairs and monitor and test repair work. |
