21/11/2025

    Applus+ in Australia has been awarded multiple contract extensions with Santos, reinforcing our position as a trusted partner for non-destructive testing (NDT), inspection engineering, and specialised QA/QC services across the Asia Pacific. The extensions include national NDT and inspection services, third-party inspection services, and specialised NDT support for Bayu-Undan, strengthening continuity and confidence as the contract goes through a competitive tender process.
