QEM Solutions have a wealth of experience in managing welding, coating and painting activities on behalf of our clients during construction activities.
It doesn't matter how well you have designed your asset. If you have not controlled the construction activities that impact on integrity, then the asset will never have the expected design life. In addition to this, you could be dramatically increasing the likelihood of a safety or environmental incident due to asset failure.
QEM have welding engineers that can help with all of you welding queries, from review of specifications to the management of the qualificaition process and physical inspection of the welds. We can get involved as little or as much as you require. We can ensure that all of your documetnation is fit for a weld approval process, as well as client-specific specification.
QEM have been involved in various forms of corrosion protection from FBE, to 3 layer polyethylene coatings to concrete lined pipes. We have experienced inspectors that can ensure your coating is selected, applied and tested in line with both specification and industry best standards.
