Welder certification testing and qualification support
Integrated Inspection LLC delivers reliable welder certification testing and qualification support tailored to meet industry codes and project specifications. Operating out of Grand Haven and serving the lower half of Michigan—as well as Indiana, Ohio, and Illinois—we provide efficient, on-site testing and documentation to keep your workforce qualified and your projects compliant.
Purpose-built support for code-compliant qualifications
When schedules are tight and documentation matters, our team makes welder certification testing straightforward. Integrated Inspection LLC provides AWS/CWI-led guidance, on-site witnessing, and clear records so your crew can qualify to the right code and keep production moving. We work under AWS, ASME, AISC, API, MDOT, and DSA requirements and mobilize where your project needs us.

What's included with welder certification testing
Our approach focuses on clarity, compliance, and momentum:
- Pre-test review of code requirements, joint details, processes, and variables
- Coordination of testing location, materials, and witnessing logistics
- Visual examination and applicable NDT methods based on the governing standard and project requirements
- Clear acceptance criteria and closeout steps before testing begins
- Immediate feedback on outcomes and next steps to minimize downtime
- Organized documentation packages suitable for turnover and audits
This practical process helps shops and field crews navigate welder certification efficiently while maintaining the rigor your client, AHJ, or owner expects.
Codes and qualification ranges we support
We regularly operate to these programs and project environments:
AWS structural and fabrication projects
ASME- and API-governed piping, pressure vessel, and process work
AISC-driven structural steel fabrication and erection
MDOT, bridge, and other DOT-related scopes
DSA-related school projects with strict documentation control
If you need confirmation that your specific contract or specification is covered, share your code edition and test variables and we’ll align the plan before any testing begins.
Welding procedure and performance qualifications (WPS/PQR/WPQ)
Whether you’re establishing a new procedure or qualifying new welders, we support both welding procedure qualification and welder performance testing:
- WPS and PQR planning, execution support, and documentation control
- Welder WPQ setup aligned to the required process, position, materials, and thickness ranges
- Guidance to help ensure your ranges and essential variables cover production needs without over-testing
We provide practical help for AWS welder qualification and welding performance qualification so you can certify the right skills and maintain compliant records across your team.
On-site welder test witnessing and mobility
Keep crews productive by testing where the work happens. Our inspectors provide welder test witnessing at your facility, jobsite, or fabrication shop, helping reduce travel and downtime while maintaining independent oversight.
- Need a shop readiness check before test day? Explore our fabrication shop inspection services.
- Expanding beyond qualifications to ongoing QA/QC? See our Consulting & QA/QC Support.
We maintain strong regional coverage across Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, and Illinois, and we mobilize nationwide when project schedules require it.
Documentation packages and welder continuity records
Accurate records are essential for audits and future work. We deliver documentation packages that are organized, clear, and aligned to your governing requirements. This includes welder continuity records tracking and standardized forms that help your project team, client, or regulator easily verify compliance.
- Records organized by code, process, and welder
- Logical file naming for quick retrieval during reviews
- Continuity tracking that supports ongoing eligibility and renewal planning
Scheduling, timing, and pricing
Time on the floor matters. Typical qualification activities can be coordinated efficiently, but durations and costs vary by code, materials, test positions, and NDT requirements. Share your scope, test variables, and timeline and we’ll provide a tailored path to completion.
