Applus+ performs asset integrity inspection services for an agro-industrial company across Brazil

18/09/2025

    Applus+ has signed a nationwide contract with one of the leading groups in Brazil's agro-industrial sector to carry out a robust program focused on asset integrity inspection, conventional non-destructive testing (NDT) and advanced NDT, compliance with NR-13 regulations, and integrity engineering services. The project covers 124 operational and storage units across the country, beginning in May 2025 and lasting 24 months.

    In Brazil, the agro-industrial sector accounts for around 25% of GDP, making it one of the pillars of the national economy and a key driver of exports and employment. Applus+ supports this strategic sector by ensuring operational safety, improving production efficiency, and extending the lifespan of critical assets through inspection and integrity management programs.

    Applus+ will deploy specialized teams equipped with cutting-edge technology to perform technical inspections such as liquid penetrant testing, magnetic particle inspection, wall thickness measurement, videoscopy, digital radiography, Phased Array, and MFL (Magnetic Flux Leakage). These services will accurately identify discontinuities, corrosion, and structural failures in critical assets without compromising their physical integrity.

    Throughout the project, detailed technical reports, updated certificates, and a strategic database will be generated to support future maintenance planning and optimize the lifecycle of the assets.

    The initiative will bring tangible benefits in three key areas:

    • Operational: increased equipment reliability, reduced unplanned downtime, and improved use of maintenance resources.
    • Safety: full compliance with NR-13 standards, mitigation of operational risks, and continuous improvement of industrial safety standards.
    • Economic: reduced corrective maintenance costs, increased operational availability, and efficient management of asset investment.


    Project progress will be communicated in a structured manner through monthly reports, real-time dashboards, biweekly meetings with technical teams, and internal bulletins. Externally, results will be shared in sustainability reports, meetings with regulatory bodies, and technical industry events. A dedicated digital portal will allow real-time tracking of project activities.

    With this project, Applus+ reinforces its position as a strategic partner in the agribusiness, offering comprehensive solutions in integrity management, operational safety, and technical excellence to the agro-industrial sector throughout Brazil.
