CWI Inspection
Our Certified Welding Inspectors provide comprehensive visual inspection, procedure qualification, and code compliance verification for structural and process welding operations.
Visual inspection is the most fundamental and widely used method of weld quality verification. Our CWIs examine welds before, during, and after welding operations — checking joint preparation, fit-up, preheat, interpass temperature, weld profiles, surface discontinuities, and dimensional accuracy against the applicable code and project specifications.
We review and qualify Welding Procedure Specifications (WPS) and Procedure Qualification Records (PQR) per AWS, ASME, and API codes. Our CWIs witness welder performance qualification tests, evaluate test specimens, and maintain qualification records for your welding personnel.
Our inspectors work to all major welding codes including AWS D1.1 (Structural Steel), AWS D1.5 (Bridge Welding), API 1104 (Pipeline Welding), ASME Section IX (Qualification Standard), and ASME B31.1/B31.3 (Piping Codes). We understand the acceptance criteria, documentation requirements, and quality systems each code demands.
CWI services support structural steel erection, process piping installation, pipeline construction, fabrication shop QA/QC, field erection projects, tank construction (API 650/620), and repair/alteration work on pressure equipment.
