5.0 GENERAL REQUIRMENT

This procedure shall be used as a guideline for repair of weld defects and base metal imperfections
Each repair at site shall be reviewed on case-to-case basis prior to commencement of actual repair
work. Any repair work to be carried out shall be monitored by QC and . If required, any specific repair
sequence or procedures are to be made depending on welding problems encountered during
fabrication.
The welding shall be carried out for all repairs as per the approved WPS for the project. The repaired or
replaced weld metal shall be re-welded by approved original WPS used for carbon steel / stainless
steel.
6.0 TYPE OF REPAIR

All unacceptable discontinuities identified by visual or non-destructive examinations shall be considered
as repairs. Repairs are classified into the following types.
WELD REPAIR
All unacceptable discontinues such as under cuts, arc strikes, overlaps, under filling, excessive
convexity, excessive reinforcements, lack of fusion, incomplete penetration, porosity, slag inclusions,
cracks are considered as weld defects. All weld defects shall be rectified as per guidelines given in 7.0
below.
BASE METAL REPAIR

All unacceptable base metal discontinuities such as arc burns (arc strikes), metal overlaps, surface
imperfections, pitting surface, gas cutting notches, surface cracks and piping distortion rectification are
considered as base metal repairs. All base metal repairs shall be rectified in accordance with
respective material specifications and guidelines given in 8.0 below.

(TA4MS) PAGE:
7.0 REPAIR OF WELD DEFECT

All minor surface weld defects such as under cuts, overlaps, excessive convexity, excessive
reinforcements and surface porosity shall be rectified by grinding itself without reducing minimum
thickness unless it calls for welding to fill undercuts. If required to deposit weld metal, the repair /
rectification shall be done in accordance with WPS originally. All repairs shall be completed and
cleared before PWHT if it is required to be done in accordance with code or specification
All subsurface defects such as slag inclusions, porosity, lack of penetration, lack of fusion or cracks
shall be removed by an approved process that produces a clean, uncontaminated surface for repair
welding and re-welded as per appropriate approved WPS and sequence given below.
All unacceptable weld metal discontinuities such as cracks, subsurface porosity, slag inclusions, lack of
fusion or lack of penetration in weld joints shall be removed by air carbon arc gouging, chipping,
grinding or machining. Arc gouging for stainless steel is not allowed. The defect portion of weld metal
only shall be removed without removal of substantial adjacent sound weld metal or base metal. All
repairs shall be completed and cleared before PWHT if it is required to be done in accordance with
code or specification.
For all cracks in weld metal or base metal, repair shall be carried out by gouging or grinding 50 mm
beyond each end of the crack after determining the exact length of crack using MPI or DPI or UT check
or chemical etching test.
The following repair sequence shall be followed:
Identify the location and magnitude of each defect and mark directly over the defect for its entire length
with reference of NDT report. The depth and type of defect shall be noted on nearby base metal
surface.
The defect shall be removed as per suggested method above. QC Inspector / Welding Foreman shall
monitor while removing the defect to ensure the complete removal of defect. Refer page no. 9 for
typical sketches showing removal of defects, original welds, repair welds.
Carry out MPI / DPI to ensure excavated area free from defects. Radiography, UT PA or UT may be
utilized on excavated joints prior to re-welding. Request for performing NDE method will be decided on
case by case basis depending on the depth of defect and size of the material.
All parameters and variables for repair welding shall follow appropriate approved original WPS. Only
qualified welders shall do all repair welding in accordance with an approved weld repair procedure.
The repaired or replaced weld metal shall be retested by the method originally used, and the same
technique criteria shall be applied.
A maximum of 2 (two) repair attempts of a weld defect are permitted. An additional repair requires
review and approval and may require complete removal of the weld and affected material.
REPAIR OF BASE METAL

All unacceptable base metal defects such as arc burns, metal overlaps, surface imperfections, pitting
surface, gas cutting notches shall be ground to remove mill scales, sharp notches before carrying out
any repair. Grind the arc burns area with a disc grinder until evidence of the arc burn is no longer
visible and carry out MPI or DPI and ensure that there are no defect left. If thickness of pipe is reduced
beyond acceptable limits, it would be a hold point for review by and .

(TA4MS) PAGE:
All repair welding shall be done by appropriate approved original WPS, parameters and variables shall
be followed including but not limited to; consumables and preheat and inter pass temperature. Only
qualified welders shall do all repair welding
Unacceptable fit up and /or fit up correction which requires buttering shall be done with approved
original WPS. Prior to buttering, actual dimension of joint should be scaled correctly and shall be
reviewed by and before determining required thickness for buttering. Finishing by grinding should be
applied on buttered area until smooth surface is achieved. MPI or DPI shall be applied at buttered joint
after buttering process.
Any distortion of piping to bring it into alignment for joint assembly that introduces a detrimental strain
in equipment or piping components is prohibited.

Site inspection report

The site inspection focuses on the implementation of risk controls used by contractors following the work
health and safety (WHS) management plan assessment. The intent of the site inspection is to benchmark the
safety practices observed on site against the criteria contained in the checklist. The Office of Industrial
Relations understands that construction sites are continuously changing and vary greatly in size and
complexity. For this reason, it may not be possible for the accredited auditor (construction) to examine all plant
and work practices for a particular project. It is acceptable to review a sample of items and, based on the
evidence that is available at the time, assess whether the undertaking conforms to the set criteria.

necessary to prevent objects falling on or otherwise hitting
people in the adjoining area, or
 a gantry has been erected that provides adequate
protection to people in the adjoining area against falling
objects if the load were to fail.

structure
 the point on the ground along the proposed line which any
barricade or hoarding will be erected that is closest to the
highest point
