Our trademarks

CLAS has registered the mark CLAS TECHNOLOGY COMPLIANT™ recognizable by this stamp affixed on the inspection documents:

 

 

 

CLAS inspectors are the first in the world to have implemented quality certification procedures for breakwater construction using ACCROPODE^™, ACCROPODE^™II, ECOPODE^™, CORELOC^™, X-bloc^®  , BS1, BS2, BS3 technologies. From 2000 at the service of the courts of France,then from 2008 for the industry.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Our unique experience and know-how has led us to be very strict in applying the inspection procedures that lead to the quality certification and approval of a armour using ACCROPODE^™, ACCROPODE^™II, ECOPODE^™, CORELOC^™, X-bloc^®  , BS1, BS2, BS3.

 

Today, we see approved armours based on technologies that are not working satisfactorily to show nonconformities.

Our way of working is simple and effective. All placed blocks are checked and each breakwater section validated on the basis of the contractual references:

CLAS accredited inspectors have proven field experience.

They received additional training in the inspection.                                                                                          

They know how to advise the company to determine and implement the best construction and repair procedures.

 

 

CLAS has set up its own accreditation line for its inspectors who serve the ACCROPODE™II, ECOPODE™, CORELOC™ projects of CLI and X-bloc^® of DMC, and the blocks BS1, BS2, BS3  offered under the brand BREAKWATER SOLUTION™, based on the code of ethics of the French justice expert, then by the norm ISO 17020-2012:

1 Competence

Our inspectors are recruited on site because of their good understanding of ACCROPODE^™, ACCROPODE^™II, ECOPODE^™, CORELOC^™, X-bloc^®  , BS1, BS2, BS3 technologies. They receive at CLAS training complementary to the specific inspection on these blocks and the validation procedures of the work.

2 Independence

Our inspectors are not related to the companies involved in the projects implementing the technologies ACCROPODE^™, ACCROPODE^™II, ECOPODE^™, CORELOC^™, X-bloc^®  , BS1, BS2, BS3 and the tools of assistance to the placement or to the validation supposed as POSIBLOC™, ECHOSCOPE® or other of which we do the evaluation.

 

3 Impartiality

Our services are aimed at companies that want to offer their customers the highest level of excellence. These companies are committed to our impartiality. The lack of rigor and impartiality are causes of withdrawal of the accreditation of an inspector.

4 Confidentiality

Some of the projects we intervened on are covered by military or industrial secrecy. We do not communicate about these projects, not even for our own advertising.

5 Maintenance of skills and knowledge

An inspector loses accreditation after three months of inactivity. To find an accreditation he must follow a training course accompanied by a "senior inspector" in activity. This training is given in practice at the start of a new project, by a presence on the site of the senior inspector and the inspector in training.

Senior out-of-service inspectors are required to inspect ACCROPODE^™, ACCROPODE^™II, ECOPODE^™, CORELOC^™, X-bloc^®  , BS1, BS2, BS3 at least once every three months. These inspections are carried out as part of the collection of information that we practice on old structures and as part of classification A, B and C of breakwater armours, using the ACCROPODE^™, ACCROPODE^™II, ECOPODE^™, CORELOC^™, X-bloc^®  , BS1, BS2, BS3.

The inspectors who benefit from it are rigorously selected, trained and supervised.

The tools for installation assistance and the tools proposed for inspections are evaluated in the context of the project. We do not validate them on the sole basis of advertising by vendors or engineers who are not specialized inspectors.

We implement the highest level of requirement and quality and the affixing of this brand on our inspection report is the guarantee that this level of exclusive quality is implemented on your project in an independent and impartial way.

 

Demanding the brand is the best guarantee of security for your project
