Inspection Programs
Repeatable analysis is an essential outcome; therefore, PAUT analysts are certified to both CGSB Ultrasonic Level 2, CSWIP/PCN EN473 in PAUT as well as qualified to the inspection program requirements. Additionally, the analysis process and inspection data management is designed to encompass construction parameters to ensure data artifacts will result in repeatable analysis reporting in line with code and technical specification requirements demonstrated in the technical justification. Acuren Nuclear Services has gained extensive experience completing inspection campaigns. We understand that in addition to qualified inspection processes it is paramount that an experienced program team dedicate equal time to initiating, planning, executing, and closing out the project.
A typical inspection program consists of:
- Project managers
- Planners
- CSA’s
- Results coordinators
- Supervisors
- Data management system
- Process control for human performance
- Component based architecture for correct component verification
- Role based accessibility and controlled qualification of task
- Ensured adherence to procedure
- Audibility
- Data inputs (designed for mineable metrics to drive continual improvement and statistical analysis)
- Performance
- Engineering
- Weld engineer
- Results coordination and reporting
- Quality
- Quality control review and sign-off
- Inspection test plan and traveler process
- Performance statistics and LEAN methods for process improvement
- Document control (digital and physical work package)
- Training and qualification program for feeder weld analysts (primary/secondary/resolution)
-
Accepted feeder weld analysis procedures and project documentation (plans and ITP)
- Large pool of inspection personnel
