Meet Our Founder
Kevin Giebelhaus, M.Eng., P.Eng., launched GIBS after working nearly two decades in the oil and gas inspection industry. Starting off as an NDT technician, certified in RT, PT, MT and UT, Kevin grew a passion for equipment inspections and integrity assessments. This enticed him to return to school to become an engineer. After starting his career as a professional engineer and while raising a family, Kevin chose to advance his knowledge by perusing a master’s degree in Welding Engineering through part-time studies which he completed in 2000.
As an ABSA In-Service Boiler & Pressure Vessel Inspector (since 2002), and National Board Certified Inspector (since 2010), Kevin continues to expand his expertise in ensuring structural safety and reliability of pressure equipment. With a wealth of knowledge and experience, he continues to take a hands-on approach to equipment assessment and repair oversight.
At GIBS, we uphold high industry standards in safety and quality of work while maintaining a “work safely and efficiently” attitude. We consider our work to be successful when both we and our clients are confident in the safety and reliability of their pressure equipment.
