What Inspection Technology does

Inspection Technology Consultancy and Technical Services W.L.L. (trading as I-tech) is a 100% Qatari-owned non-destructive testing (NDT) company headquartered in Al Khor, Qatar. Founded in 2001 by Mohanad Akilla and currently operating with a core staff of 51-100 plus a deployable workforce exceeding 130 skilled technicians, the company delivers both conventional NDT (Radiographic, Ultrasonic, Visual, Penetrant, and Magnetic Particle Testing) and advanced NDT (Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing, Time-of-Flight Diffraction, Eddy Current, Thermography, and Scorpion2 dry-coupled ultrasonic tank shell inspection) to Oil & Gas, Construction, and Industrial Manufacturing clients. Its technical stack centers on capital equipment such as Pulsed X-Ray 370KVP units, Silverwing Scorpion2 wheel probes, A1040 MIRA ultrasonic tomography, Innov-X Alpha and X-MET 3000TX positive material identification (PMI) systems, ZETEC MIZ-21C eddy current instruments, and borescope/videoscope tooling, backed by Government of Qatar radioactive source and radiation equipment licenses and ISO 9001/14001/45001 certifications.

The company runs a project-based professional services model in which enterprise clients (Total E&P Qatar, Shell, Samsung C&T, GE, Qatargas, ORYX GTL, GASCO, Qatalum, Dolphin Energy, Qatar Foundation) receive customized NDT solutions typically delivered onsite at offshore platforms, LNG facilities, refineries, and construction sites across Qatar. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales driven by reputation and repeat relationships, with revenue anchored to long-term projects (e.g., Qatar Gas 3 & 4) and periodic shutdown/turnaround work. Service breadth extends into welding certification, post-weld heat treatment via partner QuestPlus W.L.L, hardness and vacuum testing, concrete NDT, pickling/passivation, and rope access, creating a one-stop inspection capability for industrial asset integrity. The business operates exclusively within Qatar with no disclosed funding rounds, M&A activity, or external investors; strategic posture is anchored to deepening technical credentials and broadening service lines rather than geographic expansion.
