Post-Weld Operations
Post-Weld Operations – Review of the project. This is a time to learn from the project not a time to beat people over the head.
![Page 35: SO YOU’RE THE NEW WELDING ENGINEERawo.aws.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/NewWeldingEngineer/PreandPo… · SO YOU’RE THE NEW WELDING ENGINEER ... •Procedure & Welder Qualification](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022012917/5b6ec1bd7f8b9a4f3c8e90db/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Post-Weld Operations
Perform a “Lessons Learn” review
• It does not matter the project size • Within the company • With the subcontractors • Customer
![Page 36: SO YOU’RE THE NEW WELDING ENGINEERawo.aws.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/NewWeldingEngineer/PreandPo… · SO YOU’RE THE NEW WELDING ENGINEER ... •Procedure & Welder Qualification](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022012917/5b6ec1bd7f8b9a4f3c8e90db/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Post-Weld Operations
“Lessons Learn” consists of:
• What went well • What did not go so well • Action items
![Page 37: SO YOU’RE THE NEW WELDING ENGINEERawo.aws.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/NewWeldingEngineer/PreandPo… · SO YOU’RE THE NEW WELDING ENGINEER ... •Procedure & Welder Qualification](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022012917/5b6ec1bd7f8b9a4f3c8e90db/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Post-Weld Operations
Areas to consider:
– Safety – Lost Time accidents – Near misses
– Quality – Weld reject rate (VT, MT, PT, RT, UT) – Meet customer expectations – What was done to insure quality
![Page 38: SO YOU’RE THE NEW WELDING ENGINEERawo.aws.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/NewWeldingEngineer/PreandPo… · SO YOU’RE THE NEW WELDING ENGINEER ... •Procedure & Welder Qualification](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022012917/5b6ec1bd7f8b9a4f3c8e90db/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Post-Weld Operations
Areas to consider:
– Planning – Were drawings adequate – Were the specifications clear – Additional training needed
– Tooling – Were the correct tools and quantity on the
job? – Fixtures

Post-Weld Operations
Areas to consider: – Welding
– Correct process used – Better process – Fit-up – Sequence
– Subcontractors – Communication – What concerns would there be on future
projects – Why would you use them again

What Made This Project Successful?
• Knowing the job scope: – Very clear scope
• Having time to plan: – Able to have welders make mock-ups
• Communication: – Customer – Licensee Engineering firm – Canadian Welding Bureau – Subcontractors
