Quality
QA/QC Statement
Petrocon is a safety and QA/QC conscious company. Quality is controlled on site through qualified procedures, qualified people and recorded testing — not through assurances after the fact.
The company works to three standing principles: safety first, achieve zero tolerance, and deliver the goods on time. In practice that means the following controls apply to every contract.
- Inspection and test plans
- Every project runs to an inspection and test plan agreed with the client before work starts, with defined hold and witness points.
- Welding procedure and welder qualification
- Welding procedures are qualified to the applicable code, and welders are qualified against those procedures before they work on the line. Pipeline welding follows API 1104.
- Non-destructive testing
- Radiographic and other non-destructive testing is carried out to the extent the specification requires, with results recorded against each joint.
- Pressure and leak testing
- Pipelines and vessels are hydrostatically tested before handover, with pressure and duration recorded.
- Material traceability
- Materials are received against mill certificates and tracked through fabrication so that what is installed can be traced back to its heat number.
- Documented handover
- Projects are handed over with the test records, as-built drawings and certification the client needs for their own operating file.
TODO: confirm with client — the specific codes and standards to cite here (ASME, API, BS/EN), and whether Petrocon holds a certified quality management system such as ISO 9001. The TÜV certificates listed on the credentials page suggest one, but the scope and certificate numbers need confirming before they are stated.
