OUR PHILOSOPHY
Just like so many other companies, we have had good years as well as bad. However, we have managed to stay
in business for 28 years. I would like to explain our philosophy on how we managed to do so.
UNDERSTANDING OUR CLIENTS NEEDS is the foundation for satisfying our clients. We strive to
understand the project and to match up the job with the representative we supply.
Matching the correct person with the job. Normally, one person can’t know it all. Having a little knowledge of
several different crafts is helpful. However, one should have expertise in the craft of which he is mainly
involved in. This is obtained by education, years of experience or both.
ESTABLISHING A FAIR RATE to charge our client for the representative. Most clients have their own
limits as to what they plan to spend on temporary personnel. We normally have a very good idea what rates are
being paid to construction representatives. We also know that the better people are going to get top pay. This
of course has a direct affect on what we must charge.
GETTING THE BEST OF THE BEST representatives is possible. As mentioned above, we know that these
people demand top pay. We found out a long time ago that we had much more success if we cut our profit
margin down and paid the representative somewhat more than is the norm.
We also found that if the person doing the work in the field is satisfied with the way they are paid and treated,
the better they will perform and the more likely they are to stay on the job to the finish.
DISI QUALITY ASSURANCE is accomplished by keeping abreast of the job the representative is doing,
monitoring the reporting and making periodic unannounced visits to observe first hand what is going on and to
assist where necessary.
COST EFFECTIVENESS is possible by utilizing inspectors nearest the vicinity to where the work is being
done. We have inspectors in most key areas in the USA. This would include cities in Texas (Houston, Odessa,
Wichita Falls, Dallas, Longview and others), Louisiana, Maine, California, Oklahoma, and several others.
SAFETY AND INCENTIVES is something that DISI promotes very earnestly. We have found that by
offering a SAFETY/COMPLETION bonus to our employees we get great benefits in return. An injury free
job results in our insurance remaining at the lowest level possible. This, of course, helps to keep our costs
down. More importantly, we have employees that go home to their families healthy. Although it is realized
that even one accident is too many, we are very proud of the fact that we have had but 4 lost time accidents and
no deaths in our 25 years of business.
The bonus works very simply. If an employee safely completes their assignment, they get a nice bonus in time
for the holidays at year’s end. This is confirmed by the client’s representative.
Tailgate meetings are encouraged on all jobs to discuss the day’s activities, the related dangers that can be
present and ways to avoid accidents.
DISI has a very good Drug and Alcohol Program. We have all of our construction representative pass a D&A
test prior to hiring them. We also conduct spot checks to make certain we have safe, drug free people on the
job. We are listed with NCMS AND NETWORLD as an approved vendor.
DISI always welcomes any suggestions that may improve our way of doing business. Please set aside some
time to meet with us to discuss your needs and give us a chance to provide an outstanding service to you.

Durham Inspection was established in 1981 to provide vendor surveillance and onsite inspection to the oil

We contribute our success to our strict policy of conducting thorough background searches on inspectors prior
to proposing them to our clients.
Worldwide Operations
Our first overseas assignment was awarded us in 1987 by Chevron Overseas Production, Inc. This was for
work being conducted in Angola West Africa, Zaire, Nigeria, Dubi, Durban, China and South America. This
included providing construction representatives involved in onshore refinery facilities, offshore pipelines and

mounted equipment fabricated for installation in Nigeria.

also been invited to participate in the bidding process for their Maintenance Services and Supervision and
