Frequently asked

Questions our clients ask most often.

Can you provide surge manpower for a turnaround?+

Yes. We scale inspection and NDT crews up for shutdown and turnaround campaigns, working to your TAR schedule and worklist, then demobilise — so you only carry the headcount when you need it.

Do you deliver the turnaround data book?+

Yes. We compile all inspection, NDT and repair-verification records into a consolidated data book for the turnaround, supporting plant restart and future inspection planning.

How quickly can GCS mobilise shutdown and turnaround inspection support in Oman?+
