USE CASES & APPLICATIONS

Welding and fabrication support services support industrial facilities, manufacturing plants, and construction projects throughout Vancouver, the Lower Mainland, and BC. We develop welding procedures, qualify welders, and provide fabrication QA support. Our services are essential for projects requiring code-compliant welding and quality assurance.

We support new construction projects, facility expansions, and equipment fabrication. Our welding and fabrication support serves fabrication shops, construction contractors, and equipment manufacturers. Each project requires careful consideration of material properties, joint configurations, and code requirements to ensure adequate weld quality.

PROCESS & WORKFLOW

We begin by understanding material properties, joint configurations, and code requirements. We develop Welding Procedure Specifications (WPS) and Procedure Qualification Records (PQR) that enable code-compliant welding. We perform welder qualification testing and maintain qualification records that ensure welders can produce code-compliant welds.

We provide in-process inspection during production runs to verify weld quality and code compliance. We coordinate NDE testing and verify test results meet acceptance criteria. We prepare turnover packages that provide owners with complete documentation for fabrication and installation activities.

INDUSTRY STANDARDS & COMPLIANCE

Our welding and fabrication support complies with CSA W59 for structural welding, AWS D1.1 for steel structures, ASME Section IX for pressure vessels, and applicable codes. We ensure all procedures meet code requirements and produce welds with adequate mechanical properties. Our QA programs meet industry standards and client specifications throughout British Columbia.
