Our Edge
Technology & Procedures
Proprietary software, company-owned equipment, and in-house procedures developed over decades of fieldwork.
Why It Matters
Consistent Method, Independent Assurance
What sets Taylor Engineering apart is not only experience, but method. Over decades of operations we have developed our own software, invested in our own equipment, and written our own procedures — so that every attendance is consistent, repeatable, and defensible, wherever in the world our surveyors mobilise.
Proprietary Software
Our In-House Application
A proprietary application developed and maintained in-house by Taylor Engineering. It standardises how we produce documents and reports, and gives our clients a direct way to engage with and oversee their projects.
Documents, Reports & Templates
- Developed and maintained in-house by Taylor Engineering
- Generates survey documents, reports, and reusable templates
- Consistent, standardised output across every assignment
Client Engagement & Project Oversight
- Clients engage with and oversee their projects directly through the software
- Visibility of ongoing work in one place
- Follow a survey or cargo operation through to completion
Company-Owned Equipment
Our Own Hardware — Deployable on Short Notice
Owning our equipment means we mobilise faster, without waiting on third-party hire, and control the quality and calibration of every tool we use.
Borescope Inspection Equipment
- We own and operate our own borescope equipment
- Internal inspection of cargo lines, manifolds, and crossovers
- Deployable on short notice without third-party hire
- Image logs and findings with location references
Calibrated Measurement & Sampling Equipment
- Calibration records available for all measurement tools
- Sampling and sealing equipment with chain-of-custody maintained
Proprietary Documentation
Procedures We Wrote Ourselves
Our proprietary documentation — repeatable, written procedures developed and refined over decades in the field — underpins the consistency of our reporting, the safety of the operations we oversee, and how we deploy our own equipment, such as the borescope.
DRI Loading, Discharging & Monitoring Procedures
- Procedures developed over 20+ years for the safe handling of Direct Reduced Iron
- Supercargo attendance, condition and temperature monitoring, IMSBC-aligned handling
- See our DRI sector for the full capability
Brine-Loading Protocol
- A strict in-house protocol for brine loadouts (e.g. CaCl₂, NaBr)
- Dedicated lines and hoses, salinity and density monitoring, staged QC sampling
Three-Stage Fuel Sampling & Bacterial Testing
- Fuel samples taken and labelled at three stages of loading
- Visual inspection and laboratory analysis
- Bacterial testing of fuel during loading
Tank-Cleaning Timeline Matrix
- Supervision of tank-cleaning operations against a structured timeline matrix
- Time-logging, safety-protocol monitoring, and waste quantification by type
Standard Reporting & Controls
- Signed reports with photographs, field logs, and discrepancy notices
- Chain-of-custody on all samples; immediate notification of non-conformities
- Digital reports with measurement sheets
Method you can rely on.
Independent assurance, backed by our own tools and procedures.
