OMS adds more qualified weld inspectors to its ranks
03/03/2011
Pipe measurement specialist Optical Metrology Services (OMS) Ltd has further expanded its capability to offer comprehensive weld inspection services to its clients. The company has added a further two full-time CSWIP-qualified weld inspectors to the team.CSWIP is an internationally recognised mark of competence for people engaged in welding and/or inspection-related jobs in manufacturing, constructing, operating or repairing high-integrity welded structures, plant or components.
As well as qualified weld inspectors, OMS offers advanced video and laser-based measurement tools to enable visual inspection and measurement of weld features in difficult to access structures, such as pipe line end terminations (PLETs), manifolds and critical oil & gas pipeline sections. OMS has recently completed an extensive weld inspection scope on the BP Galapagos project.
Richard Gooch, Director of Technology at OMS Ltd, told NDT News: “Having more qualified weld inspectors on our team means that, in addition to our video and laser-based pipe measurement services, we can support clients by assessing the significance of any weld defects that we discover using these tools. We can then make recommendations as to whether these weld defects should be accepted or rejected against the specification.”
