What weld inspection involves

Weld inspection verifies that a joint meets the acceptance criteria of the governing construction code, using methods selected for the defect types credible in that joint configuration and material.

Scope of work

  • Visual examination of profile, undercut, reinforcement and surface condition to a written procedure
  • Radiography or ultrasonic examination of weld volume, including phased array and TOFD on thicker sections
  • Magnetic particle or penetrant examination for surface-breaking indications
  • Welder and procedure qualification record verification against ASME Section IX
  • Positive material identification where material substitution is a risk

Governing codes

ASME Section VIII and Section IX, ASME B31.1 and B31.3, AWS D1.1, API 1104, and ASME Section V for the examination methods themselves.

The Atlanta asset base

Atlanta anchors a deep Southeast US industrial base, with Georgia-Pacific paper-and-chemical mills, Delta TechOps' Hartsfield-Jackson aerospace MRO facility, and Southern Company's nuclear fleet (Plant Vogtle Units 3 and 4) all running rigorous pressure-equipment and weld-integrity programmes within a few hours' drive. Colonial Pipeline's headquarters and its 5,500-mile fuels backbone — terminating refined product across the Eastern Seaboard — coordinates inspection planning from Alpharetta, making digital twin pipeline integrity data a board-level concern after the 2021 cyber incident exposed continuity risk. Hot, humid summers and frequent thunderstorms accelerate external CUI on tank-farm clusters in nearby Doraville and at the Port of Savannah supply chain, where colour-coded 3D condition mapping reduces unnecessary blasting and repaint scope.

How the work is controlled

Agree personnel qualification, equipment checks, procedure revision and review responsibilities for the examination. Retain those records with the results and coverage limitations.

What you receive

  • A report in your required format, with findings located against the component and, where relevant, against a persistent corrosion monitoring location so trends stay continuous between campaigns
  • Raw data in the instrument-native format plus an open export, so the dataset outlives any single supplier relationship
  • The procedure revision, technician certification state and instrument calibration status applicable at the time of examination
  • Where a finding affects continued service, the specific code clause governing the acceptance decision
