HIGH TOLERANCES : IN RAW MATERIAL AND FABRICATION THIRD PARTY INSPECTION

INSPECTION AND QUALITY ALL QUANTITIES WERE INSPECTED AND TESTED FOR DIMENSIONS , MECHANICAL PROPERTIES , GALVANIZING REQUIREMNTS .

THIRD PARTY INSPECTION APPROVED BY TECHNOLOGY PROVIDER DURING IN PROCESS AND DESPATCH

AVAILABILITY OF MACHINERY AS WE ARE LOCAL SUPPLIER, THE ORDER WAS RECEIVED WHEN THE MACHINERY WAS AT PROCUREMENT STAGE.
