Thirty-three pipe spools, from DN150 Schedule 160 through DN200 Schedule 80, delivered as a complete turnkey package. MTIS owned every step: our own drawings, our own material procured and freighted, fabrication, welding, blast and paint, hydrotesting, RT and MPI, then packing and labelling to the client’s system. Each spool ships with a full MDR and is supplied complete with bolts, gaskets and all fittings, every item traceable to documentation.

Scope

In-house drafting: isometrics, fabrication drawings, material take-off and weld procedure selection produced by MTIS.
Material procurement, freight and logistics: pipe, fittings, bolts, gaskets and consumables ordered and transported by MTIS, with mill certs captured against each item.
Fabrication and coded welding: cutting, bevelling, fit-up and welding to ASME IX procedures.
Blast and paint to the client coating specification.
Hydrotesting and NDT: RT and MPI cleared against the client ITP.
Packaging and labelling per the client numbering system, full MDR pack per spool, and transport to site.

Approach

Holding the entire scope in-house (drawings, material, fabrication, welding, coating, testing, inspection and logistics) means there are no vendor interfaces to chase and no gaps in the paper trail. A coded weld crew runs cleaner welds in controlled workshop conditions, every joint is NDT-cleared before anything ships, and each spool leaves the workshop supplied complete with its bolts, gaskets and fittings so the client can install straight off the truck. Every material, down to a single stud or gasket, is tied back to its certification in the MDR.

Outcome

All 33 spools delivered turnkey and install-ready, each with a complete MDR covering drawings, heat numbers, mill certs, weld maps, NDT and hydrotest records, and coating reports, and supplied with all bolts and gaskets. Nothing to source, nothing to chase: a fully traceable package the client could lift, bolt up and commission, with weeks of on-site welding removed from their schedule.
