VISUAL INSPECTION SERVICES

As a CWB certified inspection organization under standard CSA W178.1, we can provide skilled visual inspectors qualified to meet your needs.

Our QC / QA program can be customized to your specifications or we can assist in determining the extent of inspection by developing an Inspection and Test Plan complete with hold points at critical stages of fabrication. A typical plan may include any of the following:

    Qualifications
  • Qualifications Witness welder qualification testing
  • Pre-Fabrication
  • Review of drawings & specifications
  • Determine extent of nondestructive testing required
  • Develop or review welding procedures and verify adequate equipment
  • Fabrication
  • Ensure qualified fabrication personnel are used and that fabrication procedures are followed correctly
  • Verify material test reports and proper flow of materials
  • Visually inspect production weld quality and overall workmanship
  • Examine bolting installation and perform torque testing
  • Audit fabricator's quality control department
  • Conduct inspections both in the fabricator's shop and at the erection site.
  • Post Fabrication
  • Confirm that "as built" dimensions match drawings and document variances
  • Perform / oversee nondestructive testing and verify results
  • Perform / oversee coating inspections and verify results
  • Observe product shipping and receiving operations

The final inspection and test plan, as well as all test results, are reviewed by a professional engineer certified to level three for visual inspection.

By identifying discrepancies before they become problems, a good visual inspection program will expedite fabrication while saving money. Let our experienced staff help you achieve these objectives.
