I’ve noticed that consistency in testing practices can significantly impact the overall quality of piping installations. During a recent project, we implemented a non-destructive testing method at the 70% completion mark, which revealed a couple of unnoticed defects that could have led to major issues down the line. How do you all ensure rigorous testing at every stage of your projects?
I’ve found that using a solid check-list throughout the project helps catch those sneaky defects before it’s too late… It’s like a pre-flight checklist for an airplane — no one wants to be in the air and realize they forgot something important! Regularly reviewing testing processes on jobs, like during those crucial phases, can really save you down the line.
Totally agree, testing is crucial. I’ve had similar experiences where we didn’t catch a leak until the system was nearly done. Adding @v_cooper’s checklist idea is a smart move.
