Customized Fabrication Engineering

Service Detail

Customized fabrication engineering covers the technical oversight and execution of industrial fabrication — atmospheric and pressure-rated storage tanks, LPG vessels, pressure vessels, process skids, structural steel, and industrial piping systems — from initial design basis review through fabrication QA/QC, shop inspection, and installation and commissioning support.

Industrial fabrication quality in Iraq and the Kurdistan Region is variable: fabricators differ significantly in weld procedure compliance, NDE capability, and documentation discipline. Equipment that enters service without rigorous fabrication control — incorrect material certification, undocumented weld repairs, missing pressure test records — creates long-term reliability and safety risk that is difficult to identify after installation.

MesoAxis provides fabrication engineering as an independent technical function — reviewing fabrication drawings and procedures before work begins, conducting shop inspection at defined hold points, witnessing pressure tests and NDT, and managing documentation through handover. The focus is on confirming that fabricated equipment is built to its specification and supported by complete, traceable records.

Fabrication Scope

• Atmospheric Storage Tanks

  Engineering review and fabrication oversight for atmospheric storage tanks — API 650 and equivalent standards — covering design basis review, material certification, weld inspection at key stages, hydrotest witnessing, and documentation review before the tank enters service.

• LPG Storage Tanks

  Fabrication engineering and inspection for LPG storage vessels — covering design pressure confirmation, material selection review, weld procedure qualification assessment, NDT witnessing, and pressure test surveillance in line with applicable pressure vessel codes.

• Pressure Vessels

  Fabrication oversight for pressure vessels to ASME, PED, and equivalent standards — reviewing weld procedures, witnessing NDT and pressure testing, verifying material certification, and confirming that documentation packages are complete and traceable to code requirements.

• Process Skids

  Engineering review and fabrication oversight for packaged process skids — covering layout review against P&ID, material and component verification, instrument and valve checks, piping pressure testing, and FAT witnessing before the skid leaves the fabrication shop.

• Structural Steel Fabrication

  Inspection and oversight of structural steel fabrication for equipment supports, pipe racks, access platforms, and industrial structures — covering material certification review, dimensional checks, weld inspection, surface preparation assessment, and coating verification.

• Industrial Piping Systems

  Fabrication oversight for industrial piping systems — reviewing isometric drawings and weld maps, witnessing weld inspection and NDT, verifying material certification for pressure-rated pipe and fittings, and confirming pressure test records before handover.

• Equipment Modification & Retrofit

  Engineering review and fabrication oversight for modifications to existing equipment — pressure vessels, tanks, piping, and structures — confirming that modifications are documented, do not compromise the original design basis, and are supported by appropriate weld procedures and inspection records.

• Fabrication QA/QC Support

  Development and review of inspection and test plans, weld procedure review, welder qualification verification, NCR management, and documentation review — structured to confirm that fabrication quality is controlled at source rather than identified at delivery.

• Shop Inspection & Witnessing

  Planned and surveillance inspection at fabrication shops — covering hold point witnessing, dimensional checks, weld visual inspection, NDE witnessing, and hydrotest surveillance — with formal inspection reports issued at each stage.

• Installation & Commissioning Support

  Engineering support during installation and commissioning of fabricated equipment — confirming correct installation, verifying performance against specification, reviewing commissioning procedures, and supporting resolution of non-conformances identified during startup.

Why MesoAxis

MesoAxis provides fabrication engineering as an independent technical function. Drawings and procedures are reviewed before fabrication begins — identifying specification gaps and code deviations before they become non-conformances on the shop floor. Hold-point inspection is planned and witnessed by engineers with direct knowledge of the applicable code requirements, not by the fabricator's own QC team alone.

Fabrication QA/QC is managed as a continuous record, not a delivery-point checklist. Weld maps, material certifications, NDT reports, dimensional records, and hydrotest certificates are verified at each stage and compiled into a documentation package that is complete and traceable before equipment ships. This means field installation teams receive equipment with a clear, auditable history — not a folder assembled after the fact.

Installation and commissioning support closes the loop between fabrication intent and field performance. Where non-conformances are identified during commissioning, engineering input is available to assess whether they are acceptable, require remedial action, or affect fitness for service — reducing the risk of latent defects surfacing after handover.
