Material Traceability
Material traceability is tracking and identifying a material's origin, composition, and history as it moves through the supply chain—from manufacturing and processing to fabrication and installation. This thorough record-keeping ensures that the complete lineage of a project's physical assets is transparent and verifiable at every stage.
Understanding the Role of Segregated Stainless Steel Fabrication Shops
A segregated stainless fabrication shop typically has a specialized area within a manufacturing space dedicated exclusively to working with stainless steel and nickel alloys. When segregating this area from other materials, such as carbon steels, segregation aims to prevent carbon contamination. However, a segregated shop is not always necessary. Many fabrication shops successfully operate without a dedicated stainless-steel area and instead implement rigorous handling, welding, cleaning, and finishing procedures to mitigate any risk of cross-contamination.
Fabrication and Installation for Aggregate and Cement Plants
Cement and aggregate plants rely on precision fabrication and seamless installation to keep their operations running efficiently. Whether it's for a scheduled plant shutdown for repairs or building a new facility, the accuracy of fabrication and timeliness of installation are critical for safety, productivity, and minimizing downtime.
Plasma Cutting and Laser Cutting: What’s the Difference?
Plasma cutting and laser cutting are both widely used in industrial and fabrication settings because of their ability to cut accurately through various materials. So what’s the difference?
8 Reasons to Partner with an ASME Code Fabrication Shop
In today's industrial landscape, ensuring safety, quality, and compliance is a top priority. That's why partnering with an ASME Code Fabrication Shop can be a game-changer for your projects.
What is a Certified Welding Inspector (CWI)?
A Certified Weld Inspector (CWI) is a qualified professional trained to assess and verify the quality of welds. They ensure that welding work meets industry standards and safety requirements, contributing to the reliability and safety of various projects across industries. Goodhart Sons has two full-time certified welding inspectors (CWIs), who are essential for maintaining welding quality and safety.
The Role of Fabricators and Installers in Pollution Control
According to estimates from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), gaseous emissions of air pollutants have significantly decreased since 1980, resulting in higher air quality. However, while organizations worldwide have managed to dramatically cut down on the environmental impact of their operations, reducing environmental pollution remains an important goal for many.
Carbon Capture and Storage
Carbon capture, also known as carbon capture and storage (CCS), is a process that involves capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from various sources, such as power plants, industrial facilities, and other large-scale emitters.
