At United Controls International (UCI), we are committed to being the Quality Behind the Power. This means maintaining the highest standards for all of our services—designing, procuring, fabricating, handling, shipping, storing, cleaning, inspecting, repairing, and supplying components for the nuclear industry. Our thorough Quality Assurance (QA) Program ensures that standards are maintained throughout our processes, leaving no room for error. For every service we provide, our customers can be sure of the reliability and safety of their equipment.
UCI’s QA Program serves as a system of controls to ensure that all equipment serviced by UCI performs to the highest standards.
Our QA Program is strictly aligned to essential industry standards, including:
Combining administrative measures and procedures, the QA Program assesses field service equipment and items supplied by UCI for compliance with applicable codes, standards, and customer specifications. At each stage of the process, equipment requires QA approval before moving on. And, before items leave UCI, the QA Program has final authority to ensure that it will perform to specifications.
UCI’s commitment to quality standards extends to our vendors and suppliers. For nuclear generation equipment, our purchases and vendor agreements are restricted to audited suppliers on our Qualified Suppliers List (QSL). These vendors have been personally audited by UCI, maintaining control over processes and quality.
