following services:
•Use of X-Ray Crawler Equipment for Radiographic Testing of Welds

recognized by a prestigious Nigeria EPIC Engineering company such as Nestoil

SGS Nigeria. However, my main praise goes to all the SGS employees who were
involved on the various projects, as this award must be seen as a major
achievement by all of them and not only the company,” said Chris
