Welding Supervisor
The Welding Supervisor responsibilities are extensive and will occur at various stages of the Fabrication process , the Visual Inspection and Supervision of all Welding will help the Welding Supervisor assure each specific task has been performed. An Inspection Checklist is created to help the Welding Supervisor during this process
BEFORE WELDING
Review documentation and Shop Drawings Check Welding procedures Check Welder Qualifications Develop Weld Plan for recording and maintaining Inspections
DEVELOP SYSTEM FOR IDENTIFICATION OF REJECTS Check Welding equipment Check quality of Consumables Check weld preparations Check alignment devices [ Jigs ] Check weld cleanliness Check Preheat if required
DURING WELDING Check Welding Variables to compliance with Welding procedures Check quality of individual Welds Check interpass cleaning Check placement of individual weld passes Check back gouge areas Monitor NDT testing
AFTER WELDING Check weld appearance Check weld size Check weld length Check dimensional accuracy of weld Monitor additional NDT testing Prepare Inspection reports
Inspection 100 % Visual Inspection by Welding Inspector IWI Qualification
The only way a Visual Inspection can be considered effective is to apply that Inspection at every step of the Fabrication process. The main reason to perform the Inspection on a continuing basis is to discover problems as soon as they occur so they can be corrected most efficiently. The Visual Inspection is therefore performed Before, During and After Welding.
All our Projects are Supervised by AS 2214 Welding Supervisor [ Andy ] and is supported in both Vietnam Factories by Fully Qualified Welding Inspectors and Welding Engineers.
