Verification, welded in.
Inspectors capture welds directly in the field. Photo, GPS, and heat numbers scanned (where the materials vendor provides barcoded tags) or typed at the joint. One capture drives the WPS audit, the daily report, and the heat-to-BOM trace. No nightly data entry, no second pass. Built by a working chief inspector whose 18+ year pipeline career started as a contractor laborer. The roots of this system run deep.
Mobile-first field capture replaces the field book, the spreadsheet, and the nightly data-entry marathon. Inspectors log welds on mobile while they’re standing next to the joint. Photo, GPS, heat numbers scanned or typed at the source. DPRs assemble themselves from the day’s activity. CWIs focus on the welds. The project stays on schedule.
Grant your QMs read-only visibility into your contractor’s project: the welds, the heats, the NDT results, the audit trail, as they happen. No waiting for a weekly summary. No last-month closeout scramble. Every NDT result cross-referenced to its weld. Every edit captured with user, timestamp, and before/after values. Survives a PHMSA review.
Inspectors capture the weld on mobile while standing next to it. Photo, GPS, and heat numbers (scanned when the vendor provides barcoded tags, typed when they don't) attach at the source. The office system has the data before the crew breaks for lunch. No spreadsheet, no end-of-day transcription, no 'send me the numbers by 7pm.'
Every weld is checked against the project’s WPS the moment it’s logged. The system verifies the welder holds a current qualification for the procedure, and that diameter, position, electrode, amps, volts, and preheat fall within the qualified range. Verdicts surface inline on desktop and as a warning on the mobile submit screen — non-compliant work gets caught while the crew is still on the joint, not in a turnover review three months out.
Every weld, NDT result, correction, and report from the day rolls up into a draft DPR automatically. The inspector adds weather, crew, and narrative. Signs. Done. What used to take two hours takes twenty minutes.
Every weld ties to its heat, its NDT result, and its inspector sign-off the moment it’s logged. When turnover day comes, the 49 CFR Part 192 package is already built. Complete, audited, and ZIP-exportable. No reconstruction month.
Inspectors capture the weld on mobile while they're standing next to it. Photo, GPS, and heat numbers (scanned where the materials vendor provides barcoded tags, typed when they don't) attach at the source. Joint number, welder stencil, WPS, date filled as they work. The office system has the weld before the crew breaks for lunch.
Bidirectional sync moves captures from mobile to the office system the moment connectivity returns. Offline in the ditch? Writes queue locally and replay on reconnect. Conflicts route to a review queue with both versions preserved. Office dashboards update live. No 'send me the numbers by 7pm.'
Anything with uncertain signals lands in a review queue: heats without a clean BOM match, cross-olet candidates, low-confidence extractions. The Chief or Quality Manager reviews and approves. Every edit is captured in an audit trail with user, timestamp, field, and before/after values. The weld log, NDT log, and heat-to-BOM map update as you go.
Daily progress reports generate themselves from the day’s welds. Turnover packages ZIP on demand with a 49 CFR Part 192 cover sheet. Nothing to chase down, nothing to reconstruct. Turnover day becomes a download, not a month-long scramble.
Field capture is the doorway. Once a weld is in the system, every downstream artifact a pipeline project owes — the audit, the report, the schedule, the turnover — runs from that one event.
Every weld traces back to its heats, every heat to its BOM line, every BOM line to its purchase order. Pull any weld and walk the chain in seconds — no spreadsheet to reconcile, no inspector tracking heats by hand.
When inbound material lands with heat numbers, those heats are in the QC system the same minute. No CWI typing heat numbers off mill certs at end of day. No transcription error to chase down at audit.
Upload your engineering BOM PDFs and the project is live in under an hour. New CWI on the next project, different report format? Map the fields yourself in 10 to 15 minutes. No engineering ticket, no “we’ll get to it next sprint.”
Every weld is checked against its WPS the moment it’s logged: welder qualification, diameter, position, electrode, amps, volts, preheat. Verdicts surface inline on the same screen the inspector just submitted from.
Welds drive activity percent-complete on the schedule. Receiving and POs drive cost roll-ups. The PM dashboard is current without anyone chasing an Excel update.
Repair welds, NDT rejections, sync conflicts, change-order approvals — push to the inspector or admin who needs to know. Not a feed firehose, just the events worth interrupting for.
Pipeline operators get a project-scoped read-only window into contractor work — welds, heats, NDT, audit trail. Contractors keep control of who sees what, and for how long.
REST API, signed webhooks for events as they happen, OAuth2 client credentials for integrations. The data flows out as cleanly as it goes in — no proprietary export gate.
Veriweld has been used and tested on live transmission and distribution pipeline construction projects. Every feature exists to solve the shortcomings of legacy documentation workflows and to keep pace with the increasing demands of compliance and regulation.
This is not a mockup. This is not a demo. It’s working software used every day in the field and office, on real welds, for real projects. Field captures land via iPhone, sync over cellular to the cloud, and surface in the office before the crew breaks for lunch.
Book a 20-minute demo with the inspector who built it. Bring the weld log you're fighting with. We'll show you what Veriweld does with it.
Got it.
