“Quality is the hallmark of STS‘s business”.

A centralized management system with qualified personnel manages the quality and HSE functions of the STS business. Regular internal audit, corrective action and management reviews at various levels monitor compliance throughout the business process and lead to a continually improving customer focused business.

“No job will be executed at the expense of Safety of our staff or Quality of our Service”.

A major component of STS capability is carried out at sites where plant and equipment are fabricated, installed and commissioned under our Quality Control Standards. Our site activities are carried out to International Standards – covering Occupational Health and HSE Management Systems.
