Welding supervision

The Welding Institute carries out supervision of welding work on building structures, pressure equipment, railway equipment and other welding work. We check the quality of welds and materials, the documentation and the conformity of the execution with the design.

Supervision subpages

Supervision of steel structures and pipelines

Construction of steel structures and gas pipelines and laying of PEHD.

Supervision of energy installations

Support before commissioning and during operation of an energy system.

Welding of railway vehicles to EN 15085

Preparing companies for certification to EN 15085-2, welding coordinators and supervision.

Which types of supervision do you carry out?

  • supervision of the construction of all kinds of steel structures,
  • supervision of the construction of gas pipelines,
  • supervision of welding work at energy installations,
  • supervision of laying PEHD at ecological waste management centres (CERO), municipal landfills and pools.

What do you check when supervising steel structures?

We check the quality of welds, the quality of the installed base and filler materials, the quality of the corrosion protection carried out, the suitability and validity of welders’ certificates and welding procedures and, above all, the conformity of the execution with the submitted design.

How does gas pipeline supervision work?

At the client’s request we can take over welding supervision only. All of the contractor’s welding documentation and the quality of the installed materials are checked; welds are inspected visually, ultrasonically and radiographically, and the execution of the prescribed welding technology is controlled.

What references do you have at energy installations?

The Institute took part in the construction of the Krško nuclear power plant and the Plave and Doblar hydroelectric power plants, and in the supervision of the manufacture of the heat accumulator at the TE-TO Ljubljana combined heat and power plant.

What about PEHD supervision?

When PEHD is laid we inspect all welds visually, ultrasonically, with pressure tests and with mechanical tests of the samples taken, as well as the necessary welding documentation.

Frequently asked questions

What do you supervise when steel structures are built?

The quality of welds, base and filler materials, corrosion protection, the certificates of welders and procedures, and conformity with the design.

Can you take over welding supervision only?

Yes, for gas pipelines we can take over welding supervision only at the client’s request.

Which methods do you use to inspect welds?

Visual, ultrasonic and radiographic inspection, and for PEHD also pressure tests and mechanical tests of samples.

Do you also supervise railway vehicles?

We carry out supervision in companies that carry out welding work on railway vehicles under EN 15085-2.
