The IMR Weld Testing Department is staffed across all four locations with seven AWS CWIs, including one Senior Certified Weld Inspector at our Portland, OR location. Our weld testing group is supported by a complete machine shop, a mechanical testing department, and a metallurgical group that is experienced in all facets of weld technology, weld evaluation, weld qualification, weld procedure and failure analysis.

Also, see our letter of approval from Hartford Steam Boiler Inspection & Insurance Company.
