11-2.03B Welding Quality Control Plan


Before submitting a welding QC plan, hold a prewelding meeting to discuss the requirements for the welding QC plan. The meeting attendees must include the Engineer, your welding QC manager, and a representative from each entity performing welding or inspection for the Contract.

For the contents, format, and organization required for a welding QC plan, go to the METS Web site.

Submit 2 copies of a welding QC plan for each subcontractor or supplier for each item of work for which welding is performed.

Submit 7 copies of each authorized QC plan and any authorized addendums. Make 1 copy available at each location where work is performed.


11-2.03C Welding Report


Submit a welding report within 7 days following the performance of any welding. The welding report must include:

1. Daily production log for welding for each day that welding is performed

2. Reports of all visual weld inspections and NDT performed, whether specified, additional, or informational

3. Radiographs and radiographic reports, and other required NDT reports

4. Summary of welding and NDT activities that occurred during the reporting period

5. Reports of each application of heat straightening

6. Summarized log listing the rejected lengths of weld by welder, position, process, joint configuration, and piece number

7. Documentation that you have:

7.1. Evaluated all radiographs and radiograph reports and NDT and NDT reports

7.2. Corrected all rejectable deficiencies and that all repaired welds have been reexamined using the required NDT and found acceptable

8. Reports or chart recordings of each application of any stress relieving used

9. Reports and chart recordings for any electroslag welding used


The daily production log must include:

1. Locations of all welding

2. For each location, the welders' names, quantity of welding performed, any problems or deficiencies discovered, and any testing or repair work performed

3. Daily report from each QC Inspector

2. Name of the NDT firm

3. Name of the radiographer

4. Date

5. Contract number



6. Complete part description

7. All included weld numbers, report numbers, and station markers or views as detailed in the welding QC plan


Clearly write on all interleaves the part description and all included weld numbers and station markers or views as detailed in the welding QC plan. Use a maximum of 2 pieces of film for each interleave.

The QC Inspector or certified technician must sign all visual inspection and NDT reports and submit them daily to the welding QC manager for review and signature before submittal to the Engineer. Corresponding names must be clearly printed or typewritten adjacent to all signatures.

The Engineer reviews the welding report to determine whether you are complying with the welding QC plan and the Contract. Except for field welded steel pipe piling and field welded bar reinforcement in CIP concrete piling:

1. Allow the Engineer 15 days to review the report.

2. You may encase in concrete or cover welds for which the welding report has been submitted before receiving authorization of the welding report. If you choose this option, you will not be relieved of the responsibility for incorporating material in the work that complies with the Contract. Material not complying with the Contract is subject to rejection.
For field welded steel pipe piling and field welded bar reinforcement in CIP concrete piling:

1. Allow the Engineer 2 business days to review the welding report

2. Do not install the steel pipe piling or encase the reinforcement in concrete until the Engineer has authorized the welding report

The QC Inspector may be assisted by an Assistant QC Inspector provided that this individual is currently certified as an AWS Certified Associate Welding Inspector under AWS QC1. The Assistant QC Inspector may perform inspection under the direct supervision of the QC Inspector provided the assistant is always within visible and audible range of the QC Inspector. The QC Inspector must be responsible for signing all reports and for determining if welded materials comply with the workmanship and acceptance criteria. The ratio of QC Assistants to QC Inspectors must not exceed 5 to 1.
