On 8 January 2020, Westinghouse Electric Company announced the acquisition of Inspection Consultants Limited (InCon), a leading UK-based provider of inspection services. This acquisition strengthens Westinghouse’s ability to support the existing operating nuclear fleet, as well as in-service inspection customers outside of the nuclear industry.“We are proud to support our customers throughout the world, particularly in the UK and throughout Europe, with the highest level of inspection services. Bringing InCon into our portfolio further expands our capabilities in this specialised area,” said Tarik Choho, Westinghouse President of Europe, Middle East and Africa Operating Plant Services Business Unit.
“We welcome the highly skilled employee base from InCon to our team, as their expertise further strengthens Westinghouse’s operating plant inspection service capabilities and enhances the company’s ability to respond to emergent inspection and repair needs across Europe.”
For more than 25 years, InCon has provided the full range of non-destructive testing services to customers in a variety of industries. A United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS)-accredited Type-A Inspection Body and a Recognised Third-Party Organisation (RTPO), InCon’s facilities in Ellesmere Port and Weston-super-Mare will be acquired as part of the transaction.
Paul Whitfield, Managing Director of InCon, said: “We are excited to join Westinghouse and contribute our deep understanding of inspection services to their existing portfolio.”
