Quality

In order to ensure that we always employ the correct level of QA for a range of different customers, we have a graded three tier quality system that ensures that each project receives the right level of Quality Assurance appropriate to its requirements. Irrespective of which quality tier is to be applied though, we carry out full lot number traceability on all of our materials and only ever use personnel who are suitably qualified and experienced for the work that they carry out as well as undertaking full inspection of goods prior to release.

Despite being flexible enough to be able to ‘cut the cloth to suit’, the majority of work that we carry out is at the highest tier and having gained Fit 4 Nuclear (F4N) accreditation in 2018 from the Nuclear Advance Manufacturing Center at Sheffield University, we are currently working on Nuclear New build Projects for Tier One organisations at Hinkley Point Power Station as well as the more traditional industries and clients that we have, serving well known blue chip companies in the petrochemical, pharmaceutical and water industries.

Continual improvement has been at the heart of our journey in meeting the requirements of new and changing markets here at G R Carr, so as well as sponsoring key individuals within the company to carry out degrees and training to meet these demands, we are currently working towards accreditation to the highest level of BS EN ISO 3834-2 “Comprehensive quality requirements for welding” as this is one of our core activities.

As you would expect of a well-established company, we hold a large number of notified body approved welder approvals and welding procedure qualification records that are in accordance with ASME IX, BS EN ISO 15614/9606-1 and BS4515. These cover materials ranging from Carbon Steel, Moly Chrome and Stainless steel to more exotic materials such as Inconnel, Monel, Hastalloy and Super Duplex.

Our QA system can offer full traceability of materials, welders, weld identification, non-destructive testing, pressure tests and jointing, and our Quality Dossiers (of which we are justifiably proud) are always arranged to meet our client’s requirements so you can be assured that you will receive documentation that will fit seamlessly into your own system.
