FAQs
Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) supervision ensures that all work is conducted safely, responsibly and in compliance with regulations, helping you protect people, operations and the environment during semiconductor projects. HSE supervision of all works on site can be managed by a third-party contractor on behalf of the owner/operator.
Supply chain management outsourcing involves working with experts like SGS to oversee supplier capacity, compliance, import/export requirements and regulatory challenges, ensuring a smooth, risk-reduced project delivery.
Operational technology (OT) cybersecurity protects industrial control systems, whereas IT cybersecurity protects information systems. OT environments have unique risks that require specialized expertise, especially in high-stakes sectors like semiconductors.
We work with site owners to develop a tailored Quality Project Execution Plan (QPEP), performing on-site inspections and testing — such as particle counts, moisture analysis and leak testing — to ensure construction quality before system energization.
QA/QC verifies construction quality before energization, while process qualification validates that energized systems operate according to specifications. Both steps are critical to ensure safety, quality and efficiency in semiconductor operations. We can mobilize specialized equipment for process qualifications of bulk gas installations (storage tanks, purifiers, filtration or/and distribution systems).
