Weld Inspections
How It Works
Our specialized weld inspection services are designed to verify the integrity and safety of your tank construction, safeguard your investment and ensure long-term reliability.
New Construction Weld Inspections
Weld inspections are performed by an American Welding Society (AWS) certified weld inspector during the new tank building process.
Rehabilitation Weld Inspections
Weld repair inspections are essential during the rehabilitation process to assure requirements are met to the project specification.
New Construction Weld Inspections
Weld inspections require a thorough understanding of various processes, specifications, and code requirements. When properly executed, these inspections play a significant role in ensuring structural stability while also eliminating potential surface-related coating failures in the future.
DIXON utilizes AWS certified weld inspectors with industry specific backgrounds to provide effective oversight of new tank construction projects. This undertaking entails reviewing weld procedures and welder qualifications, verifying conformance of steel and materials delivered to site, visually inspecting in-process and completed welds, and witnessing the radiographic testing of structural weld seams.
We coordinate inspections with the contractor to maximize efficiency and minimize site interference, and our comprehensive reports provide clients with peace of mind knowing their asset will stand the test of time.
Rehabilitation Weld Inspections
Tank repairs and rehabilitations are essential for maintaining and improving the safety, operation, and aesthetics of your asset. Fabrication and welding, often required for repairs and installations, should always be inspected by competent personnel to verify completeness and adherence to any requirements.
DIXON inspects repairs and installations for visible defects, surface finish, functionality, and any variances from field drawings and project specifications. We compile measurements, photos, and observations into a readable format that provides invaluable information for owners and operators.
