Inspection and NDT ERP software in Qatar
Atlantis NDT ERP is inspection-management software for NDT service providers, inspection contractors, fabricators and QA departments operating in Qatar. It replaces the spreadsheet stack most inspection businesses run on — technician certification currency, equipment calibration control, inspection scheduling, multi-crew work orders, client asset registers, job costing and audit-ready document retention — on one Odoo-based platform.
Who operates in Qatar
QatarEnergy and QatarEnergy LNG across the Ras Laffan complex, Mesaieed Industrial City petrochemicals, Qatar Steel and Qatar Aluminium, plus the EPC and inspection contractor base in Doha supporting the North Field expansion.
What governs inspection work here
QatarEnergy contractor and vendor approval requirements govern access to most major work, applied over ASME Section V, VIII and IX, API 510/570/653, API 580/581 and API 579. The Ministry of Public Health regulates radiation sources used for industrial radiography, and ISO 17020/17025 accreditation is commonly specified for third-party inspection.
What actually decides the purchase in Qatar
North Field expansion work has concentrated a large volume of new-build fabrication inspection alongside an ageing in-service inspection load. Contractors running both simultaneously need welder qualification and NDT records on the new-build side and CML thickness trending on the in-service side, which are different data models in the same business.
- Certification currency per method — SNT-TC-1A, ISO 9712, NAS 410 and client-specific approvals — with dispatch lockout the moment anything lapses.
- Calibration control with ISO 17025 traceability across flaw detectors, thickness gauges, probes, wedges, reference blocks and step wedges.
- Condition-driven inspection scheduling: next-inspection dates computed from measured corrosion rate under API 510/570/653 rather than a fixed calendar.
- Offline mobile field capture for confined spaces, vessels, offshore platforms and remote sites with no connectivity.
- Client-specific report templates rendered from one dataset, so the same survey issues three ways without re-keying.
- Work-order-level job costing including mobilisation, standby and travel, so per-contract margin is visible while the contract is running.
- Document control on procedures, written practices and technique sheets, with the revision in force on any historical inspection date recoverable.
Regional asset base in detail
- Doha — Doha sits at the heart of Qatar's LNG export industry, which is the world's largest, with RasGas and Qatargas operating cryogenic storage spheres, regasification facilities, and loading arms at the Ras Laffan Industrial City complex. The North Field expansion represents the world's largest single LNG development, and QatarEnergy's engineering standards mandate digital twin data integration for all new pressure vessels and storage tanks.
- Ras Laffan — Ras Laffan Industrial City is the world's largest LNG export hub, home to QatarEnergy LNG's (formerly Qatargas/RasGas) massive cryogenic LNG trains drawing on the North Field, the world's largest natural gas field, alongside the Shell Pearl GTL gas-to-liquids plant and the Laffan Refinery processing condensate. The North Field expansion project is adding new liquefaction trains and associated gas processing capacity, making Ras Laffan one of the most active LNG construction and integrity-management sites globally, with cryogenic storage tanks, liquefaction cold boxes, and high-pressure gas processing separators all requiring rigorous FFS and RBI programs under Qatar's Ministry of Environment and Climate Change.
- Mesaieed — Mesaieed Industrial City is Qatar's primary petrochemical and heavy-industry hub south of Doha, home to QatarEnergy's Mesaieed Refinery, Qatar Petrochemical Company (QAPCO), Qatar Fuel Additives Company (QAFAC), the ORYX GTL gas-to-liquids plant, and Qatar Steel's electric arc furnace operations, all clustered along a dense industrial coastline with dedicated port facilities. The mix of refining, olefins/polyethylene petrochemical production, methanol/MTBE synthesis, and gas-to-liquids conversion means Mesaieed's inspection landscape spans high-temperature cracking furnaces, cryogenic and pressurized storage, and reactive-service piping systems, all requiring coordinated API 510/570/653 and RBI programs under Qatar's Ministry of Environment and Climate Change industrial safety oversight.

Frequently asked questions
Which ERP suits an inspection or NDT company in Qatar?
The deciding capabilities in Qatar are certification currency with hard lockout on lapse, instrument and reference-block calibration traceability, condition-driven inspection scheduling under API 510/570/653, offline field capture, and job costing at work-order level. Generic ERP and generic CMMS both model the money and the maintenance well and the personnel-qualification and calibration evidence badly, which is exactly the evidence a client audit tests. North Field expansion work has concentrated a large volume of new-build fabrication inspection alongside an ageing in-service inspection load. Contractors running both simultaneously need welder qualification and NDT records on the new-build side and CML thickness trending on the in-service side, which are different data models in the same business.
Which regulations and client audit regimes does it need to support in Qatar?
QatarEnergy contractor and vendor approval requirements govern access to most major work, applied over ASME Section V, VIII and IX, API 510/570/653, API 580/581 and API 579. The Ministry of Public Health regulates radiation sources used for industrial radiography, and ISO 17020/17025 accreditation is commonly specified for third-party inspection. The platform holds the underlying evidence in structured, exportable form — qualification currency, calibration certificates and traceability, procedure revisions under document control, and inspection results with the provenance applicable at the time of test — so producing an audit pack is an export rather than a document hunt.
How long does implementation take?
Six to ten weeks for a typical 20–60 technician business: one to two weeks of discovery and migration mapping, three weeks configuring certification, calibration and work-order modules against your written practice, two weeks piloting on one client contract, then rollout. Historical certification records and calibration certificates are migrated as part of that, which is why the timeline is measured in weeks rather than days.
Can it run alongside the operator's own SAP or Maximo?
Yes, and that is the normal arrangement. The operator's system stays authoritative for their work management and cost; Atlantis runs your side of the relationship — crews, certifications, calibration, scheduling, reporting and job costing — and pushes findings across by REST API or supported connector so results land where the client expects them.
