“Fran did an outstanding job representing Merck’s efforts on this assignment. We encountered a lot of time-critical and evolving inspection and coordination needs, and I attribute the fact that we were able to hold the supplier shipment date to Fran’s efforts.” — Jaki Chiango, P.E., Merck
We’re grateful for the opportunity to work with Merck, a valued client over the years. Fran Brieden, Senior Inspector and Project Manager, who led this project, brings extensive expertise in vendor surveillance, third-party inspections, and welding technology. With certifications in ASME Section IX and AWS D1.1, and qualifications in VT, PT, MT, and UTT, he ensures top-quality standards in the construction and repair of pressure vessels, heat exchangers, and pipe systems for our clients. Along with a strong background in welding instruction and certification, he consistently meets complex needs of our clients.
Great job Fran! And thank you Merck for your trust and continued partnership!
