Consultation Services that We Offer

For major chemical, petrochemical industries, oil and gas pipe lines and electric power generation equipment, WRD provides comprehensive in plant inspection coverage of all phases of manufacture from steel production through welding pressure testing, NDT, final visual / dimensional check and witnessing mechanical testing / review of chemical analysis results. Comprehensive reporting and documentations control are done to ensure that the owners are kept fully informed of manufacturing and delivery status throughout the contract duration. WRD has gained its good reputation as third-party inspector by handing complete and successful inspection work of the 400 ton/day ammonia plant owned by El-Nasr Fertilizer Company.

• Stress measurement and analysis of engineering components under external and internal service loading conditions.
• Theoretical stress analysis using Finite Element Method (FEM) by special software like ANSYS.
• Design validation using hydro-test.
• Prediction and control of distortion through weld sequencing & other methods involving jigs & fixtures for large scale structures with number of sub-assemblies.
• Residual stress measurement & analysis to estimate the need for stress relieving heat treatment.
• Structural Integrity Analysis to assess the reliability & safety of welded structures subjected to static and dynamic loading.
• Weld design analysis & recommendation as per various international codes like ASME, AWS and other piping codes.
• Interpretation and recommendation of applicable welding Codes & Standards.

Over years, the school of welding and NDT at WRD has centered its activities on the following major areas:

• WRD was accredit as International Approved Training Body from International Institute of Welding (IIW-ATB) for the training, testing and qualification-welding engineers and welder according to the Guidelines of IIW. The accreditation covered the following:

   o International Welding Engineer (IWE)

   o International Welding Technologist (IWT)

   o International Welding Specialist (IWS)

   o International Welding Practitioner (IWP)

• WRD was accredit incorporation with Austrian Welding Institute under the umbrella of IIW to test and qualify welder according to ISO9606 and EN287-1, and the international certificates issued from Austrian Welding Institute approved from IIW
• Practical training in WRD premises or within companies on different topics such as manual gas welding, machine operating, gas metal arc welding, brazing and oxyacetylene welding (certification and qualification according to the international standards).
• Practical training and qualification (ASNT Level II) on the application of different NDT techniques: X-ray, ultrasonic, dye penetrant and magnetic particle testing.
• Theoretical training (in-house) at WRD or within companies. Regular or tailored courses to customers specifications are offered for welding and NDT engineers as well as technicians. The course include :

   o Welding process

   o Metallurgy

   o Design and calculation

   o Fabrication inspection

   o Corrosion of welded components.
