WSS has adopted AISC's stringent Quality Control program which allows us our "AISC Certified Fabricator" status. An abundant amount of time, effort and money has been put into this program and in return WSS has received what we believe is a very loyal relationship from contractors, owners and vendors.The commitment to excellence our team adheres to assures conformance to the job specifications and an excellent fit-up process at the job site. Our Quality Control program incorporates material tracking from the vendor to processing. Upon arrival from the vendor, the material is inspected against our P.O. for conformance to job specifications. After a fit-up and before welding, our QC person inspects all material required for each major piece or mark number, assuring correct dimensions, material grade and size. He will then sign off on the QC shop drawing, taking responsibility for its correctness. This piece is then moved on to a welding station where the welder identifies the size and type of weld required then proceeds to weld up, stamping his designated welder stamp on the piece when finished. Our weld inspector checks these welds to the QC drawings and if correct signs off. If required, the material will continue on to be drilled and /or painted. Before shipping, as the fabricated material is loaded, its again inspected for overall conformity, and if acceptable, he will also sign off on the drawing.
