    One of the critical Coker furnaces of a prominent oil sands operator experienced an unforeseen malfunction. The situation was critical, as any extended delay could lead to substantial production losses and potential safety concerns. The intricate welding issues necessitated extensive technical oversight and quality assurance for the repairs. 

    The repair procedure was supervised by two highly skilled Applus+ inspectors. Their response to the challenge was nothing short of impressive:

    4. Perseverance: The examiners demonstrated unwavering determination, ensuring the project's successful conclusion, despite the task's complexity. 

    The clients’ facility was able to: 

    • Complete the repairs successfully 
    • Restart operations safely 
    • Minimize delays and associated losses 

    The client, impressed by the performance of the Applus+ team, took the time to formally recognize their efforts. In a communication with Applus+ management, a senior official from the oil sands company stated:
    “We want to take this opportunity and recognize the relentless efforts of these two inspectors in ensuring successful repairs and dealing with all the technical challenges along the way."
