Our Inspection Services
Weld Inspection and Defect Identification
Our Certified Weld Inspectors (CWIs) are experienced in inspecting and evaluating welds, mechanical components, or any other engineered components to ensure they meet your industry’s standards and specifications. We identify, document, & coordinate the repair of weld defects such as undercut, lack of fusion, cold lap, lack of penetration, and porosity. We can confirm heat input, amps, volts, wire speed or other variables to your WPS (Welding Procedure Specifications). By addressing these defects promptly, we help maintain the quality and safety of your projects, while limiting its affect on your schedule and budget.
Witnessing Pressure Testing
We offer services to witness pressure testing for piping systems. Our inspectors verify that all tests are conducted according to required codes and site specific specifications, ensuring your systems can be commissioned while following regulatory processes.
Coordination with Non-Destructive Testing Services
Our CWIs can coordinate with non-destructive testing (NDT) services on your behalf. We manage the scheduling and execution of NDT methods such as UT (ultrasonic testing), RT (radiographic testing), RTR (real-time radiography), or MT (magnetic particle testing), ensuring compliant inspection without damaging the materials.
Compiling or Auditing Job Books
We can compile or audit your existing job books for your construction sites, documenting every aspect of the welding, inspection, and repair process. These job books include inspection reports, MTR’s (material test reports), WPS’s (welding procedure specs), red line maps, and other critical documentation. They are essential for project management, quality control, and regulatory compliance.
Welder Testing and Qualification
We test and qualify welders for your company, ensuring they meet the required code and site specific specification. We can retain records of these qualifications for your convenience and alert you when your welders need to be re-certified. This proactive approach helps maintain a certified workforce and ensures continuous compliance with industry code.
Witnessing Torque Verifications
We provide services to witness torque verifications for critical or code-related bolted connections. Our inspectors ensure that all bolted connections meet the specified torque requirements, maintaining the integrity and safety of your structures.
Redline As-Built Mapping
We can walk your materials downs to identify and document critical component prior to installation. We then follow along and walk the site regularly to map out the welded or bolted components and document the connections. At, or near, the end of your construction phase we will provide you with a detailed and professional red line map of exactly where your components were installed.
Additional CWI Services
Training and Guidance: We provide training and guidance to your welding personnel on proper welding techniques and quality standards, fostering continuous improvement and high-quality outcomes.
Compliance Verification: We consult with your team in an attempt to verify that all welding activities comply with relevant codes, standards, and specifications, ensuring your projects meet your standards.

Common Projects and Assets Inspected by our CWI’s
Pipelines
Pipelines are critical projects that transport oil, gas, and water across vast distances. Our CWIs conduct field inspections of pipeline welds to ensure they meet API 1104 and site specific and maintain structural integrity. We address any defects immediately to prevent delays and promote unbiased inspections.
Power Plants
In power generation facilities, the quality of welds in structural components, pressure vessels, and piping systems is paramount. Our inspectors ensure that all welds comply with proper ASME or NQA regulations, whether in steam, natural gas, or any other power plants. Our services help maintain the quality and safety of power plants across the region.
Refineries and Chemical Plants
Refineries and chemical plants operate under strict welding regulation as well. Our CWIs inspect welded components in these facilities, ensuring they comply with industry code and can withstand operational demands. This helps contractors complete their work in a compliant manner, while limiting future shut downs.
Construction Sites
Construction projects involve various and often critical or high pressure welded structures and components. Our on-site inspections ensure that all welds meet applicable code, supporting safe and successful construction efforts. We provide comprehensive documentation and reports for project management.
Battery Plants
As the demand for battery storage solutions grows, ensuring the quality of welds in battery manufacturing and storage facilities is essential. Our CWIs inspect these welds to ensure they meet safety and quality standards, supporting the production of reliable battery systems, like the one’s being built in Commerce, GA and Blythewood, SC.
Bridges
Bridges require thick and strong welds to ensure safety and longevity. Our team inspects the welds in steel structures of bridges to ensure nothing present will compromise their integrity. By ensuring high-quality welds, we contribute to the safety and durability of bridge infrastructure.
Steel Structures
From buildings to towers, steel structures rely on acceptable welds for stability and safety. Our CWIs perform inspections of welds in various steel structures, ensuring they meet code or site specific needs. We help prevent structural failures and extend the lifespan of these critical assets.
Manufactured Goods
In the manufacturing sector, the quality of welded products such as automotive parts, machinery, and heavy equipment is essential. Our quality control inspections ensure that welded components meet industry specifications, preventing defects and enhancing product reliability.
