Construction Engineering and Inspection
Raba Kistner has provided successful construction project administration and coordination for clients throughout the Southwestern United States and beyond since 1968.
Asset integrity and maintenance/ management
Assets such as pipelines, pressure systems, industrial equipment, transportation structures, and utility infrastructure must operate safely and reliably throughout their lifecycle. Asset integrity and maintenance management ensure that these systems remain compliant, structurally sound, and capable of delivering expected performance. Kiwa supports owners and operators with independent evaluations and engineering-led integrity programs tailored to high-risk and high-value assets.
Our services include
Building Envelope Consulting
The building envelope is often the most expensive part of a construction project, so having trustworthy information is critical for managing risk.
QA Reporting and Asset Management
The QA Reporter award-winning software-as-a-service suite of applications complements all of our services, providing key performance indicators for business decision making and seamless workflows to enable quality assurance and inventory management.
What We Do
Kiwa helps organizations assess, monitor, and manage the condition of critical assets through engineering analysis, inspection, nondestructive testing, performance evaluation, and risk-based maintenance strategies.
Our teams evaluate asset condition, operational loading, degradation mechanisms, materials performance, and compliance with standards. We provide guidance for maintenance prioritization, repair planning, equipment lifecycle extension, and mitigation of potential failure modes.
Kiwa’s approach integrates mechanical integrity assessments, engineering reviews, regulatory compliance checks, and operational insights to deliver a complete understanding of asset health.
Why This Matters
Industrial and infrastructure assets operate under constant mechanical, environmental, and operational stress. Without structured integrity programs, organizations face increased risk of:
- Unplanned outages or costly failures
- Safety hazards or regulatory violations
- Environmental incidents
- Inefficient maintenance spending
- Reduced equipment lifespan
A strong asset integrity and maintenance management framework ensures assets are safe, predictable, and capable of meeting service requirements throughout their intended lifecycle. Independent verification strengthens confidence for regulators, insurers, stakeholders, and operators.
