Controls that follow the work.
Receipt and traceability
Receiving checks, required MTRs and certificates of conformity, material identification and heat traceability support the path from receipt through fabrication and installation.
Procedures and qualifications
SMAW and FCAW procedure documentation supports scope review. Applicable procedures, welder qualifications and customer requirements are checked against each assignment before use.
Checks at the right stages
Receiving, fit-up, in-process welding and final inspections are coordinated with project hold and witness points, authorized personnel and controlled measuring equipment.
Nonconformance and correction
Nonconforming work or material is identified and controlled. Disposition, rework, reinspection and corrective-action closure are documented before release.
Documentation and closeout
Inspection records, material documentation and objective quality evidence are assembled to the applicable scope. Subcontracted work is included in the required quality controls.
Safe work coordination
Site requirements, access, sequencing and work conditions are reviewed with the customer and crew as part of planning work in active maritime and industrial environments.
