Sandberg can provide the expertise to assist the structural/civil engineer or fabricator in the development and interpretation of specifications typically BS EN 1090-2, the Specification for Highways Works (e.g., Series 1700, 1800, 1900, 5000, etc.), the Network Rail specification (NR/L2/CIV/140) and the National Structural Steelwork Specification (NSSS). Sandberg engineers assisted with the preparation of many of these standards and specifications.
Fabrication, Welding and Inspection
An experienced engineering and inspection team is available to assist clients and fabricators in any aspect of materials, fabrication, welding, inspection and testing (destructive and non-destructive).
Our ‘quality monitoring’ service includes fabricator assessments, document reviews, technical advice, pre-fabrication meetings, fabrication reviews/audits, inspection and testing services. These activities help to ensure that the specification requirements and programme are met. Further details are available on request.

We can provide advice on both past and present structural steel grades and relevant standards.
Welding Procedure and Welder Qualification
Sandberg provides a full consultancy and certification service for weld procedure qualification records (WPQR) and welder qualification testing (WQT). The service can provide the full package from the provision of a preliminary weld procedure specification (pWPS) through witnessing, inspection, testing, documentation and certification.

In addition, we assist with the development of specifications to suit the contract requirements.
