Ensuring Quality Before Delivery: Factory Acceptance Testing at Oldham Engineering

When large-scale engineered components arrive on site, they need to be ready to perform. Discovering faults, performance issues or specification discrepancies after installation can result in costly delays and disruption. At Oldham Engineering, our Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) process helps prevent these problems before products leave our facility.

Putting Engineering to the Test

Factory Acceptance Testing provides an opportunity to verify that manufactured equipment and components meet agreed project specifications prior to delivery.

Depending on the project, testing can assess areas such as functionality, performance, workmanship and compliance with specified requirements. By identifying potential issues within a controlled factory environment, adjustments can be made before equipment reaches the customer.

The result is greater confidence that components arrive ready for their intended application.

Testing Built Around Your Project

No two engineering projects are exactly alike. That is why our approach to FAT is tailored to the equipment being manufactured and the requirements of each customer.

Oldham Engineering supports demanding industries including nuclear, defence, and offshore and subsea, where quality, reliability and precision can be critical.

From bespoke fabricated pipework to complex mechanical assemblies and large machined components, our team works to ensure the appropriate checks and testing procedures are incorporated into the manufacturing process.

Quality From Manufacture to Dispatch

Factory Acceptance Testing forms part of our wider commitment to quality assurance. Combined with our capabilities in precision machining, fabrication and welding, it enables us to provide customers with documented confidence in the equipment they receive.

Rather than treating testing as simply the final stage of production, we see it as an important part of delivering dependable engineering solutions.
