Shipbuilding & Naval Defense
Overview
Inspection in this industry.
Naval vessels and submarines are built to some of the most demanding fabrication requirements in any industry. Inspection requirements flow down from the government through prime contractors to every level of the supply chain, and every examination must be recorded and traceable to the specification invoked.
Shipbuilding programs also need sustained inspection capacity. TCI recruits, qualifies, and manages inspectors for these programs, so customers can keep inspection in step with production as workloads grow and shift.
Inspection Challenges
What makes this work demanding.
Specification-driven work
Methods, techniques, acceptance criteria, and inspector qualifications are set by the documents the customer invokes.
Volume and pace
Hull, piping, and component programs need inspection capacity that keeps up with production across shifts.
Traceability
Each examination is tied to the part, the procedure, and the certified inspector.
Mixed materials
High-strength steels, stainless steels, and nickel and copper alloys each call for the right method.
