Projects and Welding Inspection Case Studies
Integrated Inspection LLC showcases a range of projects and welding inspection case studies that highlight our practical, code-driven approach across diverse applications. Based in Grand Haven and active throughout the lower half of Michigan—as well as Indiana, Ohio, and Illinois—we partner with clients to solve real-world challenges, document compliance, and deliver clear, actionable insights that keep fabrication and construction projects on track.
How we present our work
Integrated Inspection LLC delivers certified welding inspection and a full NDT suite across industrial, civil, and energy projects. This page collects welding inspection case studies and NDT project examples in anonymized, composite form to respect client confidentiality.

Tanks and pressure vessels
A representative tank inspection project often includes API 653 external inspections, internal inspections during outages, and coordination with repair crews.
Scope
xternal and internal VT, MT on welds and nozzles, UT thickness mapping, and weld acceptance verification.
Standards
API 653 for tanks; API 510/570 for associated pressure equipment and piping as applicable.
Deliverables
Organized findings, corrosion rate projections when specified, and punchlist alignment with repair priorities.
Pipelines
Our team supports pipeline owners and contractors with code-based coverage, practical field coordination, and rapid documentation. The pipeline inspection case study pattern below reflects common scopes we encounter.
Integrity digs, repairs, and tie-ins
- Scope: Coordinate with ILI crews to validate anomalies, perform VT/MT/PT on exposed segments, and document repairs before backfill. When required, apply UT thickness gauging and weld evaluation for sleeves and tie-ins.
- Standards: Work under API/ASME and operator specifications; CWI oversight for weld acceptance and hold points.
- Result: Clear, photo-rich reports delivered same day or next morning to keep digs moving.
Hydrotests and station work
- Scope: Witness and document hydrotests; provide CWI coverage for station upgrades, valves, and fittings; spot UT or RT for critical welds when specified.
- Mobility: Rapid mobilization across Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, and Illinois, with nationwide travel when project needs dictate.
- Result: Minimized downtime through on-site decisions aligned to code and client specs.
Structural, schools, and DSA
We routinely support structural steel and school projects governed by state or local authorities. The following DSA school inspection case pattern shows how we help teams navigate jurisdictional requirements.
Scope
Special inspection for structural steel, welds, anchors, and bolting; CWI documentation aligned to submittals and approved WPS/PQRs.
Jurisdictions
Experience working to California DSA requirements and out-of-region plan check processes (e.g., Clark County–style documentation standards) in coordination with the EOR.
Result
Smooth closeout with traceable daily reports and photo logs acceptable to AHJs.
Mechanical integrity and facilities
A typical mechanical integrity project for plants and utilities blends condition monitoring with targeted NDT to prioritize maintenance.
Scope: Risk-based screening, VT/UT/MT/PT on high-risk assets, and weld acceptance checks during corrective work.
Standards: API 510/570/653 and owner specs; reports structured for planners and reliability teams.
Result: Actionable findings, clear next steps, and fewer surprise outages.

FAQs
Can I see examples of your work?
Yes—this page summarizes representative scopes, and we can share redacted reports and client-approved images on request. Start by contacting us with your scope and any NDA details.
Do you have experience with similar projects?
Likely. Our team covers pipelines, tanks, pressure equipment, structural steel, schools, and utilities across the Midwest with the ability to mobilize nationwide. Share your specs and we will map relevant experience.
Can you share photos from past jobs?
Yes, when client-approved. If approval is pending or restricted, we may provide anonymized technique photos that still demonstrate our methods.
Are project reports confidential?
We treat all reports as confidential. We will only share redacted excerpts or photos after client consent and per any NDA.
Do you support specialty or unusual inspection work?
Yes. From one-off weld procedure trials to complex outage work, we tailor our CWI/NDT coverage and documentation to your unique constraints. For planning help, see Pre-Bid & Project QA/QC Support.
Can you discuss DSA, Clark County, or out-of-region project experience in general terms?
We can discuss requirements, documentation approaches, and typical coordination steps in general terms. Detailed case data is shared only with approvals.
