Our robust approach to quality, backed by advanced testing capabilities and globally recognised third-party qualifications, underscores our commitment to excellence.
Comprehensive Quality Assurance and Control
Proclad employs a unified Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QA/QC) system that governs every stage of our operations. This integrated approach ensures consistent compliance with industry standards and client specifications, minimising risks and delivering superior results.
Key elements of our QA/QC process include:
Material Verification: Rigorous checks to confirm that all materials meet the specified grades and standards.
Process Monitoring: Continuous oversight during manufacturing to maintain consistency and quality.
Final Inspection: Comprehensive testing of finished products to verify performance, durability, and compliance.
Advanced Testing Capabilities
Proclad’s in-house testing facilities enable us to verify the integrity, safety, and reliability of our products through a range of industry-leading methods:
Non-Destructive Testing (NDT): Techniques such as ultrasonic testing (UT), radiographic testing (RT), and dye penetrant testing (DPT) ensure the integrity of welds and materials without causing damage.
Pressure Testing: Hydrostatic and pneumatic tests confirm the ability of components to withstand specified pressure levels.
Corrosion Testing: Evaluation of materials and cladding to ensure long-term resistance to harsh environments, including salt spray and sour service conditions.
Mechanical Testing: Tensile, hardness, and impact testing validate the mechanical properties of materials and welds.
Third-Party Qualifications and Certifications
