CATSI, Inc. has solidified a unique approach within the industrial inspection industry by placing inspectors at the center of the business. Josh Appel, Manager of Business Development, sums it up neatly by describing the company as “employee-centric,” fostering an environment where the best professionals operate with independence and excellence.
This approach allows for highly qualified inspectors, certified as veterans with extensive hands-on experience, creating a versatile and robust team to meet the technical challenges of the industry.
Operational, human and environmental safety as pillars
As a construction management and industrial inspection company, CATSI accompanies its clients from the construction phase of their facilities through to structural, mechanical and electrical maintenance. Thanks to its vertical integration, the company not only participates in the construction of industrial infrastructures, but also ensures their safe and compliant operation throughout their service life.
During the interview, Appel emphasized that the inspections not only look at the functionality of the assets, but are designed to protect the people working in the facilities, ensure operational continuity and minimize environmental impact. This three-pronged approach reinforces the company’s commitment to a complete and responsible industrial inspection service.
Technology for traceability and compliance
Innovation is also part of the company’s DNA, and a clear example is the use of RFID tags and QR codes on inspected assets. These digital tools allow operators to scan a code with their cell phone and immediately access the most recent report on the equipment, confirming its compliance status and fitness for service. This system simplifies audits, improves document traceability and optimizes communication between the company and its customers.
Experience over titles
A salient statement from Appel is its view on certification, that while the company relies on certified inspectors when required, it also deeply values accumulated experience. This stance highlights the company’s reliance on practical knowledge and technical judgment developed in the field.
CATSI represents a modern vision of industrial inspection, combining the human knowledge of experienced inspectors with technologies that improve traceability and compliance, all under a people-centered organizational culture. This synergy allows CATSI to offer a solid, transparent service, ready to respond to the current challenges of the sector.
