DNV Certification

Through our heavily involved relationship with DNV, Holloway Houston presently fabricates over 90% of the DNV class slings which are built in the Western Hemisphere. We also do most of the DNV witnessed pull testing on Padeyes & other Weldments, Synthetics & Umbilicals of various types. HHI is proud to have contributed in the first DNV project in the United States. HHI also stocks a variety of DNV certified fittings available for shipping.
