Inspection and Certification Welding Inspection & Certification

Welded joints represent potential weak points in the piping structure due to the heat generated during welding.  These weaknesses can lead to failures. Completing welds quickly and efficiently with skilled welders using quality weldments minimizes these risks.  To ensure welders and weldments meet stringent quality requirements and meet standards set by codes, most jobs required certified welders and weldments.

Alhoty provides complete welding inspection & certification services to ensure welding quality is maintained according to stringent standards.  Alhoty’s welding certification is a hands-on welder qualification test conducted by a certified welding inspector.  They are designed to evaluate a welder’s or welding machine’s capabilities for producing sound, high-quality welds that meet codes or welding procedures required by a company, job site or industry standard.
