What Axis Inspection does

Axis Inspection Contracting JSC is a Saudi Arabian closed joint stock company founded in 2008 in Dhahran, providing non-destructive testing (NDT), inspection, and industrial maintenance services to enterprise clients in oil and gas, petrochemical, power generation, water, mining, and heavy construction. The company is structured as an approved inspection service provider for major Saudi industrial state-owned enterprises including SABIC, SWCC, SEC, SADARA, YASREF, SATROP, PETRORABIGH, KJO, Ma'aden, MARAFiQ, YANS, and Sahara Petrochemicals, with three operational offices in Dhahran (headquarters), Jubail, and Yanbu covering the Kingdom's principal industrial hubs.

The company's service portfolio spans four categories: (1) Inspection Services including complete Turnaround and Inspection (T&I) support, on-stream inspection, in-service inspection, risk-based inspection, and vendor inspection/expediting, delivered per API 510, API 570, and API 653 standards; (2) Advanced NDT including Exchanger Tube Inspection (Eddy Current, IRIS, MFLT, RFT), MFL Tank Bottom Floor Testing, Guided Wave Ultrasonic Testing (Teletest Focus), Acoustic Emission Testing, Phased Array UT, TOFD, corrosion mapping RMS Scanner, remote videoscopy, and PMI; (3) Conventional NDT including Radiography, Ultrasonic, Magnetic Particle, and Penetrant Testing; and (4) Industrial Services including shutdown/turnaround support, Post-Weld Heat Treatment, and hydro-jetting. The company additionally operates a Training and Consultancy line delivering ASNT Level II and III certification courses, NDT procedure review, and ASME audits. The technical stack relies on third-party instruments (TesTex Falcon S, Teletest Focus, XRF/OES analyzers) applied by certified inspectors rather than proprietary software platforms.

The business model is B2B professional services with project and contract-based pricing that is not publicly disclosed. Axis Inspection generates revenue by deploying certified inspection engineers, NDT technicians, and specialists on-site at client facilities during scheduled shutdowns, turnarounds, or ongoing operations, with land-and-expand economics delivered via certified training courses that embed the company inside client organizations. The company holds ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, ISO 45001:2018, and ISO 17020:2012 certifications, employs staff from more than 13 countries, and is led by CEO/Chairman Motlaq AlMotairy, Vice Chairman Abdullah AlMotairy, President Abdullah F. AlShammari, and Vice President Mohammed Al-Gomaie. Distribution is exclusively direct enterprise field sales with no intermediaries.
