The WeldGrid platform

One platform for every weld, from drawing to handover.

Projects, drawings, materials, welds, inspections, heat treatment and handover records in one connected platform. Explore each module below.

Managing industrial projects often means working with multiple clients, sites, drawing packages, technical records and distributed teams. In WeldGrid, the Projects & Clients Management environment acts as the central workspace for organizing this information, keeping drawings, BOM data, inspection information and quality records within the appropriate project context.

Project and management teams can move between projects while maintaining a consistent overall view of progress, inspections and open items. Project-specific configurations and access controls help ensure that users see the information relevant to their assigned work.

The NDT Management & Inspection Tracking module connects inspection activities directly to the Inspection & Test Plan (ITP) of the project. The user defines the applicable ITP and its inspection requirements, and WeldGrid uses that information to identify the inspections required throughout the project.

When an inspection requirement is percentage-based, eligible welds or project items can be selected randomly by the system, or the user can select them manually. WeldGrid then generates and manages the Requests for Inspection (RFI) and NDT Requests, and the returned results update the relevant inspection, weld and quality logs.
