How the job runs
Procedure-qualified. Operator-qualified. Documented.
Every weld is laid to a qualified procedure by a qualified operator, with a documented pass log. That's what separates commodity welding from industrial welding, and it's the standard we hold to on every job.
- Pre-weld joint prep and fit-up inspection
- Matched filler metal and shielding gas to the base material
- Procedure-qualified technique (stringer vs. weave, travel speed, amperage)
- In-process inspection between passes
- Post-weld visual and, where applicable, NDT
- Documented pass log for the project file
