Quality control procedures are fully documented and available for client inspection. Also available is certification of construction methods in accordance with the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) code: pressure vessels, and for activities in compliance with the Alberta Safety Codes Act and the following referenced standards:

Performance qualification testing of pressure welders
Construction of small pressure vessels and pressure fittings

And,

Construction, repair and alteration of pressure piping to ASME B31.3
