What Is a Certified Welding Inspection?
A certified welding inspection is a formal process of evaluating welds to confirm they meet specified standards for safety, performance, and appearance. Using established inspection techniques, our certified welding inspectors (CWIs) identify issues such as cracks, porosity, undercutting, incomplete fusion, and other defects that could compromise the weld’s strength or service life.
These inspections are critical for:
Construction projects – Ensuring beams, columns, and structural connections meet building codes.
Industrial manufacturing – Maintaining quality control for production welds.
Repairs and modifications – Verifying that welded repairs restore full functionality and safety.
Regulatory compliance – Meeting AWS, ASME, and OSHA welding standards.

Visual Welding Inspections (VT) – The first and most common inspection method, performed to detect visible surface defects.
Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) Coordination – Arranging advanced testing methods such as ultrasonic testing (UT), magnetic particle testing (MT), and dye penetrant testing (PT).
Pre-Weld Inspections – Reviewing materials, procedures, and welder qualifications before welding begins.
In-Process Inspections – Monitoring welding during production to ensure continuous compliance.
Post-Weld Inspections – Verifying completed welds meet project specifications and safety requirements.
Documentation & Certification – Providing detailed reports for contractors, engineers, and regulatory agencies.
