Next big project on the go! Valve replacements at Mt Piper powerstation.

Here we have the welder qualifications required before any welding can commence on the job to prove compliance of welder capabilities.

There has been alot going on behind the scenes!

With our current work load and planning for upcoming projects, things have seemed very quiet on the page lately.

A local engineering workshop approached me about developing weld procedure qualifications that would comply with lloyds and dnv standards whilst also complying with ISO and AS/NZS standards.

This was quite the challenge to navigate the rules between all of the standards but we got the job done and we got all procedures across the line and approved by both lloyds and DNV certifications.

Recently, a local contractor contacted me after learning that their upcoming project would need to comply with AS/NZS 1554.1 They wanted to understand what was required to meet the standard and ensure their fabrication and welding processes were compliant.

After discussing their project requirements, I was able to assist by developing the necessary Procedure Qualification Record (PQR) and qualifying their welders to ISO 9606-1. This certification provides internationally recognised welder qualifications and, with ongoing continuity records maintained, can remain valid for up to 3 years.

The photos below provide a snapshot of the qualification process, helping the contractor establish the procedures, competency, and documentation required to confidently undertake work to AS/NZS 1554.1

If your business has upcoming projects requiring welding compliance, welder qualifications, or procedure development, feel free to get in touch to discuss how I can help.

Another successful round of welder qualification testing completed in PNG 🇵🇬

We recently trained and tested a batch of skilled boilermakers to the ISO 9606-1 international welding standard, helping ensure they meet globally recognised competency requirements for structural and pressure welding applications.

The program focused on practical welding techniques, procedure compliance, weld quality, and safe work practices — followed by formal qualification testing under controlled conditions.

It’s great to see local tradespeople continuing to develop their skills and gain internationally recognised certifications that support quality workmanship across the mining, oil & gas, construction, and maintenance sectors.

A big congratulations to all participants who successfully completed the training and testing program 👏
