Introducing … Our New Brand Image

QA Weld Tech

We are delighted to launch our new branding and website. The new and fresh image forms a key part of our strategic plans to diversify into new markets, including:

  • Petrochemical
  • Valves and pumps
  • Rail
  • Marine
  • Nuclear
  • Power generation

Three years ago, we put in place a strategy that has seen us invest heavily in facilities and personnel, developing our management team and systems to produce a more rounded company with a skill set that transfers readily across many industrial sectors.

We believe that our new, sleek and quality image very much represents the business that we are today, appealing to both our new and existing target markets.

As QA Weld Tech enters into these new sectors, we have ambitious plans to transfer our solid pedigree and reputation for delivering complex welding and fabrication services.

Deep Ocean Project

QA Weld Tech’s plans to diversify into new fabrication markets has resulted in the company landing its first order – and already successfully deliver – with Deep Ocean, a Darlington based provider of subsea cable installation services.

The work involved modification of a carousel used to transport and unload subsea power cables linking offshore wind farms to the mainland. With an extremely tight 4-week schedule QA Weld Tech project managed material procurement, bending, fabrication and coating, enabling installation to go ahead as planned and the vessel returned into service.

Our Involvement on the Taurus and Libra Development

BP’s Taurus and Libra subsea fields are situated offshore Alexandria, Egypt and part of the larger West Nile Development in water depths of approximately 800 metres.

QA Weld Tech’s involvement with the West Nile Development stretches back for over 10 years, supplying both Xmas tree and manifold flowbends, fully clad with Corrosion Resistant Alloy, to our client OneSubsea.

Our involvement in this $12 million-dollar project continues with our client Subsea 7, supplying parts for the gas export tie in structures, including 24” tie- in pieces, transition pieces, stress joints and pipeline end terminations.

A full scope of weld procedure qualification, test rings and welder qualification has preceded fabrication to ensure the stringent specifications and quality standards of the project are met.

With in-house facilities ranging from right from shot blasting, weld overlay and CNC machining, through to pressure testing and bespoke packaging, we are able to project manage a broad work scope and ensure delivery timescales are met.
