PROFILE

Watson Piping forms an integral part

of the Walz Group, specialising in

pressure welding of pipe and vessels

in carbon steel, stainless steel and

chrome moly.

Watson Piping became a company

in its own right in 2008 after 20

years of operation and growth

within former parent company Walz

Construction and fellow Walz Group

company Watson Engineering.

Recognising a market demand for

specific piping and pressure weldingservices, Watson Piping established

new premises in Gladstone, to cater

for all pressure welding of carbon

steel, stainless steel and chrome moly

work.

Watson Piping has forged strong

working relationships with a

significant range of clients in theQueensland mining industry and built

a reputation for understanding client

needs and consistently delivering

quality work on time.

Piping Capability:

Generally, we source materials in Australia

that comply with the appropriate

standards, and we source non-standard

items from overseas suppliers.

Typically, we work with carbon steel,

stainless steel, Victaulic, HDPE, CPVC, PVDF,

PVC, PP and FRP piping materials across

a range of industries including oil, gas and

process refineries, coal fired and combined

cycle power stations, wash plants, sugar

mills and gold mines.

Our workshop supervisor is a certified

welding supervisor (Cert 10) and ensures

project specifications and all relevant

standards are complied with.

We have strong relationships with key clients in mining, development and construction industries including:

Watson piping has the capability and experience to accommodate the full range of pressure welding projects. From coal wash

plants to Class 1 pressure welding for gas pipelines, our Quality Assurance system incorporates all aspects of fabrication, allowing

for full traceability requirements.

With our full traceability documented QA system in place, Watson Piping was certified to ISO-9001 in September 2009.

All pressure welders employed by Watson Piping are qualified to industry standards including:

Watson Piping understands the importance of communication, team work, quality assurance and deadlines, this is why we have

developed a spool tracking system that allows all aspects of fabrication to be captured and up dated daily for quick response

reporting.

A full-time Welding Supervisor is employed to ensure all procedures/standards are strictly followed. All Welding traceability, Material

traceability, cutting lists and delivery dockets are linked to one spool tracking sheet that identifies progress through total weld

inches and actual completed inches. This is also linked to a graph that shows true progress allowing us to identify bottlenecks

early and ensure deadlines are met.

TRACEABILITY

QUALITY

In line with the Walz Groups safety commitment,

the Watson Piping team considers safety our

number one priority.

With strict safety policies and procedures in

place and the benefits of a clean, lean workshop,

we ensure all employees have a safe work

environment, and this reflects in the quality of

work produced.

A Job Safety Analysis is completed for every

job performed in the workshop through our

Occupational Risk Management System. We

consider this a critical part of our operation.

Watson Piping considers accountability and

tracking vital to providing consistent, quality

product and service.

Every project awarded is allocated its own

individual Job number for tracking purposes. All

correspondence, documents, files and data are

referenced with this number throughout the

duration of the Job. These are filed as both

electronic and hard copies, and stored numerically.

A specific work pack, which references the

Job number, is also created for the Workshop

Supervisor. It also includes two copies of AFC

Drawings (one for the workshop floor and one

for QA), a materials list, all material, tracking

schedules and a complete project scope including

specific client NDT requirements.

The Tracking Schedule is updated on a daily

basis - allowing the team to monitor pipe spools

through each stage of the fabrication process.

It also provides the Workshop Manager with a

forecast of when material is due at the paint

yard and the clients on-site delivery date.

We also operate with a Welding Traceability

register, Load Check sheets and Delivery Notes.

Quality Assurance is essential and of utmost

importance to our team.

We strongly believe in producing quality product

and service every time, and a carefully developed

set of procedures ensures we achieve this.

Watson Piping works closely with an independent

Welding inspector who carries out Independent

Audits. The report provides details of any errors

or imperfections so these can be rectified prior

to the product leaving our workshop. The report

comes complete with photos, which are an

important reference point for future work.

Manufacturers Data Report:

MDRs are compiled for each and every project at the Watson Piping

workshop, ensuring a high quality of work is produced at all times. The

MDR includes an ITP, Release Certificates, Material Test Certificate,

Welder Qualifications, Welding Procedures, NDT request and Reports,

Approved for Construction Drawings, Paint QAs and any other items

requested by the client.

QA Drawings:

Each and every Approved for Construction drawing is stamped and QA

checks are conducted and signed off prior to transportation. A copy of

the As Built with QA stamp is included in the MDR.

Welding Consumables:

In line with our commitment to Total traceability throughout every job, a

Welding Consumables register is maintained for each and every project.

Non-conformance Reports:

Watson Piping operates under and NCR process to ensure all errors

are identified, assessed and remedied, and preventative measures are

actioned. This incorporates suppliers, clients and our internal reporting

system.

All NCRs are discussed at our weekly safety and planning meetings,

where preventative measures are formalised. An audit is also conducted

to ensure these procedures have been implemented effectively.
