Fabrication Documentation

We maintain a dedicated team for document control and uphold all industry-recognised quality accreditations. This section provides an organised overview of the key documents, procedures, and records that support our fabrication and quality assurance activities. Our capabilities include a comprehensive list of 600 welding codings, along with CTRs (Control Test Records), ITPs (Inspection & Test Plans), and LTRs (Load Test Reports) to ensure complete traceability and compliance.

Our dedicated documentation control team ensures all records are accurate, up-to-date, and compliant with industry standards. Regular reviews and updates are conducted to reflect changes in regulations, standards, and project requirements.
