Technical supervision: quality and quantities under the owner's control

In substance
What this service is
Technical supervision is delivered by Engineering Services — the consortium company holding certified technical experts and laboratory testing access. Supervision is continuous rather than acceptance-driven: before work (incoming inspection), during it (in-process control) and at acceptance.
When you need this service
Materials bypass incoming inspection
Compliance with design, certificates and data sheets are not checked before use.
Certified quantities are inflated
Nothing sits between the claimed and the actual quantity; the overpayment is discovered during an audit.
Defects surface at acceptance
Faults accumulate and emerge before handover, when correction is at its most expensive.
An investor or lender needs an independent view
The owner or financing institution requires a quality assessment that does not depend on the contractor.
What we do
Incoming inspection
Verification of materials, products and equipment against the design, with certificate and data sheet checks.
In-process control
Control of construction methods, geometry and compliance with design and codes as work proceeds.
Covered-works certification
Certificates issued before works are closed, with photographic records.
Laboratory testing
Material and structural testing arranged and supervised through an accredited laboratory.
Quantity verification
Actual quantities measured and reconciled against certificates before signature.
As-built control
Verification that as-built documentation and site logs reflect what was actually built.

Frequently asked questions
Not answered here? Write to us and we will respond on your case.
In Kazakhstani and Russian practice the terms are used interchangeably. Substantively both describe control of compliance between executed work, the design, the codes and the certified quantities, carried out in the owner's interest.
Certified experts from Engineering Services, a company within the INVECON consortium. For the client it remains one contract and one point of accountability.
Yes — supervision is a standalone Managed Service. Many clients start here and later extend the scope to project controls or the full Technical Customer role.
Yes. We work across Kazakhstan and Central Asia; for assets outside Astana we deploy either a visiting or a permanently site-based team.
