Certified Welding Inspectors and NDE technicians providing quality assurance for Georgia's critical welding projects. We catch problems before they become failures — and our documentation holds up to any audit.
Georgia's industrial explosion — Kia in West Point, Rivian in Social Circle, Hyundai Metaplant in Savannah, plus the largest single-terminal container port in the Western Hemisphere — has created massive demand for certified welding and fabrication services.
Inspection costs are a fraction of the repair costs when bad welds get caught late. Here's what QA/QC services run in Georgia.
| Service Type | Typical Rate | What's Included |
|---|---|---|
| CWI Visual Inspection | $75 – $125/hour | AWS certified inspector, documentation, reports |
| Radiographic Testing (RT) | $150 – $350/shot | Film or digital, reader sheet, interpretation |
| Ultrasonic Testing (UT) | $85 – $150/hour | Level II technician, calibrated equipment, report |
| Magnetic Particle (MT) | $75 – $120/hour | Wet or dry method, UV or visible, documentation |
| QA/QC Program Management | $1,200 – $2,500/day | Full-time QC manager, procedures, oversight |
AWS CWI-certified visual inspection per AWS D1.1, D1.5, ASME Section IX, and API codes. 100% inspection or sampling plans per specification.
Conventional film and digital radiography for pipe welds, structural joints, and pressure boundaries. ASNT Level II technicians with current certifications.
Shear wave UT for structural steel joints per AWS D1.1. Thickness gauging for corrosion surveys. Phased array available for complex geometries.
Surface and near-surface flaw detection for ferromagnetic materials. Wet fluorescent, dry powder, and AC/DC yoke methods available.
Surface-breaking flaw detection for non-ferromagnetic materials. Visible and fluorescent methods. Ideal for stainless, aluminum, and non-ferrous welds.
Full quality management for fabrication shops and construction projects. WPS/PQR development, welder qualification, inspection planning, and audit preparation.

A Certified Welding Inspector (CWI) verifies that welds meet code requirements through visual examination, dimensional checks, and documentation review. They're your last line of defense before a weld goes into service.
RT (radiography), UT (ultrasonic), MT (magnetic particle), PT (liquid penetrant), and VT (visual). Method selection depends on material, joint type, and code requirements. We recommend the right test for your application.
If your project falls under AWS D1.1, ASME, API, or any structural/pressure code — yes. Even for non-code work, third-party inspection provides documentation that protects you legally and gives your client confidence.
Yes. WPS (Welding Procedure Specification) development, PQR (Procedure Qualification Record) testing, and welder performance qualification testing. We handle the paperwork and testing.
