Welding Inspectors (Pipeline Construction Project)

Welding Inspectors (Pipeline Construction Project) JSG Professional Services ULC is currently accepting applications for experienced, competent and qualified Pipeline Welding Inspectors for Summer Pipeline Construction projects.

 

PROJECT ROLE The focus of the Welding Inspectors role is to monitor the various aspects of the field wielding program and ensure that the contractor is providing a high quality job. A Welding Inspector will be assigned to each crew carrying out the various stages of the welding operation; e.g. front end, back end, repairs, tie-ins, and fabrication. Each Welding Inspector will be familiarized with the process of measuring and documenting welding parameters for the specific area he/she may be inspecting over.

 

PROJECT RESPONSIBILITIES

 

Pre-Construction Input & Preparation

• Supervise the pre-construction training and orientation of project field personnel • Plan and organize spread set-up and resources

• Undergo inspector training and orientation program

• Review welding specifications and procedures for the project

• Review and understand project reporting requirements for welding operations  

Monitoring of Contractor Performance During Construction

• Complete report daily

• Undertake alignment sheet check to ensure appropriate wall thicknesses are in place

• Check transitions prior to welding for conformance with construction specifications

• Check pipe end preparation

• Check for pipe roundness/bevels

• Check interior cleanliness of pipe

• Check availability and application of correct welding procedures

• Maintain an accurate account of the Construction Contractor’s weld start time, end time, and down times

• Make random checks on welding parameters contained in weld procedures; i.e. preheat and cool down procedures, welding consumables, equipment output, travel speed, ensuring that clamps are being held for the required duration

• Ensure that hot passing of bottoms is being completed in accordance with the construction specifications

• Check Construction Contractor’s skidding and crotching procedures

• Check grounding techniques

• Ensure that line up clamps are not removed before sufficient weld metal has been placed, and contractor complies with the welding specifications

• Verify cooling control is employed where required

• Liaise with NDE inspection crews as to availability of completed welds

• Check pipe identification is occurring properly

• Ensure that end preparation cuttings are collected and disposed of in accordance with the construction specifications

• Check Construction Contractor’s equipment for conformance with safety standards

• Ensure ‘induced voltage’ mitigation measurements are employed

• Note weather conditions and record ambient temperatures and wind conditions

• Assist back end Welding Inspectors as required  

Special Considerations

• Ensure that all welders have a copy of the approved welding procedure to which they are welding to

• Confirm that traffic control measures are adhered to in accordance with conditions identified in the Contract Documents

• Ensure that welding debris is collected on a daily basis and disposed of in accordance with the Contract Documents

• Ensure all pertinent pipe markings (Pipe #, Heat #, etc.) are transferred to the outside of the pipe  

Post-Construction Project Resolution and Close-out

• Assist in claims resolution

• Identify deficiencies for future action

• Coordinate data collection and provide report to Owner

• Provide post construction evaluation and lessons learned document

• Review base estimate and schedule to actual and provide feedback
