Qualimet Welding Engineers & Metals Testing

CWB Retained Engineers Services

Structural Steel Building FrameIn Alberta and throughout Canada, it is a legal requirement that all steel structures, including tank supports, welded-on tank access ladders, and small portable structures like skid packages, be fabricated and erected by CWB (Canadian Welding Bureau) certified companies.

To be certified, a company must employ or retain a CWB certified welding engineer. Qualimet provides CWB Retained Engineer services to companies that require CWB certification as one component of their structural steel fabrication and erection operations.

Qualimet's CWB certified welding engineers will guide your company through the process of obtaining and maintaining CWB certification (CSAW 47.1), including:

  • a due diligence review and assistance in meeting the CWB application criteria
  • making the initial application
  • developing Welding Procedure Specifications
  • developing Welding Procedure Data Sheets
  • acting as Retained Engineer
  • visiting your site periodically and completing the required ongoing documentation for your company records
  • advising you in all aspects of maintaining compliance (as per CSAW 47.1 and CSA W59)
Qualimet specializes in CWB Retained Engineer services for companies that perform steel fabrication and erection as a minor component of their total service package—for example, Heavy Industry Contractors and Fabricators. By using Qualimet's Retained Engineer services, these companies eliminate the expense of hiring a full-time CWB Certified Engineer, yet maintain full legal compliance.

Contact Qualimet today to discuss your company's CWB Certification needs.
