⚓ What an incredible turnout!


This week, OWS Engineering was proud to be a stallholder at the Maritime Engineering Jobs Fair – and what a brilliant event it was.

It was fantastic to speak to so many enthusiastic young people interested in engineering, maritime careers and the opportunities available within our industry. The energy, questions and ambition we saw have certainly got us thinking too…

👀 Plans are already afoot at OWS Engineering to develop our own apprenticeship programme, helping to create opportunities for the next generation to learn, develop and build a career in engineering.

There’s more to come on this soon, so keep your eyes peeled!

Make sure you’re following OWS Engineering to be the first to hear about future opportunities.

🔧 WORKSHOP UPDATE | REFRIGERATION PIPEWORK PREFABRICATION

Progress continues in the OWS Engineering workshop on a new refrigeration pipework installation for Thistle Seafoods, Scotland.

While we await delivery of the buffer tank and duty/standby pump set, our fabrication team is getting ahead of the programme by carrying out a mock set-up and fabrication of the associated pipework spools.

By establishing the equipment positions and pre-fabricating as much of the system as possible within our workshop, we can progress the pipework towards completion before the remaining equipment arrives.

This approach helps us to:

⚙️ Maximise off-site fabrication
📐 Verify spool arrangements and fit-up
⏱️ Reduce installation time on site
🔧 Minimise modifications during installation
📅 Maintain programme efficiency and support early project delivery

A good example of how planning ahead at the fabrication stage can make a significant difference at installation.

Welding Qualifications Successfully Completed at OWS Engineering ⚙️

Another important milestone for the OWS Engineering team, with welding qualification activities successfully completed this week.

✅ Welder Qualification Testing
Pipe welders tested in the 6G position using TIG, in accordance with BS EN ISO 9606, with supplementary fillet qualification and ASME Section IX requirements.

✅ Procedure Qualification Records (PQRs)
Three PQRs successfully completed in accordance with BS EN ISO 15614-1:2004 + A2:2012 and ASME Section IX.

✅ Welding Procedure Qualifications covering:
• All-positional multi-run butt welds – MMA using E7018 basic low-hydrogen consumables
• Multi-run fillet welds – MMA using E7018 basic low-hydrogen consumables
• Single-run fillet welds – MMA using E7018 basic low-hydrogen consumables

These qualifications further demonstrate our capability to deliver fabrication and welding work to recognised international standards, with quality and compliance embedded from initial planning through to final project sign-off.

A great achievement for the team and another step in giving our clients confidence in the quality, reliability and technical capability behind every OWS Engineering project.

Welder Qualification Testing Update👨‍🏭⚙️

Another important day of testing at the OWS Engineering workshop.

Welder qualification testing has been carried out under the supervision of Incon NDT, with our welders completing test pieces in accordance with BS EN ISO 9606 and ASME IX requirements.

✅ All test specimens successfully passed the initial Visual Testing (VT) examination.

The samples will now progress to further inspection and testing, including:

🔍 Radiographic Testing (RT)
🔍 Ultrasonic Testing (UT)
🔍 Macro Etch Examination

These tests will verify weld integrity and confirm compliance with the required qualification standards.

A great first result for the team — now onto the next stage of testing! 👏
