Steel Construction
Weld inspection and structural conformity assessment services for industrial structures, bridges and heavy steel fabrication.
Steel construction is a field in which load-bearing capacity in industrial plant steelwork, bridges, high-rise building frames and heavy load-carrying systems depends directly on weld quality. Because surface and volumetric discontinuities in welded joints can form crack initiation points under static and dynamic loading, inspection during fabrication is the fundamental guarantee of structural safety.
TÜV AUSTRIA SILA KALİTE verifies joint quality through non-destructive testing methods applied to shop and site welds, and oversees the qualification of welding procedures and welders. Our services produce traceable inspection records supporting the certification of steel structure fabrication to harmonized standards (CE / factory production control).
Suitable services
- Ultrasonic (UT) and radiographic (RT) weld inspection
- Magnetic particle (MT) and penetrant (PT) surface inspection
- Welding procedure (WPS/PQR) and welder qualification surveillance
- Visual weld inspection (VT) and dimensional control
- Bolted connection and coating inspection
- In-process surveillance and final inspection
Related services and training
- Non-Destructive Testing (NDT)Non-destructive testing services that detect flaws in materials and welds in industrial facilities, pipelines and power plants without causing any damage.
- Advanced Non-Destructive TestingHigh-precision, imaging-based and fast NDT using advanced technologies such as Phased Array, TOFD, digital radiography, corrosion mapping and crawler systems.
- Visual TestingThe oldest and most widely used NDT method, in which imperfections and discontinuities on the material surface are examined with the naked eye or with auxiliary equipment.
- Magnetic Particle TestingA method based on the principle of inducing a magnetic field in the test piece, used to detect surface defects in ferromagnetic materials.
- Ultrasonic TestingA non-destructive testing method that determines the location, size and type of discontinuities by making use of the reflections of high-frequency sound waves within the material.
- Guided Bend TestDetermination of a material's ability to undergo plastic deformation under bending load; root, face and side bend testing on welds.
