CIMS has a strong commitment to provide our customers with quality service in all that we do. This mandate starts with the owners of the company and flows to all employees in the organization. We maintain a recognized level of quality assurance through the implementation of our quality control programs that address the construction and repair of Power Boilers, Heating Boilers, Pressure Vessels and Pressure Piping Systems. We hold certificates of authorization for ASME "S" and "U" stamp construction as well as provincial certifications for pressure part repair and alteration in Alberta and British Columbia. Our quality control personnel work closely with the CIMS production department and the Owner to ensure that all projects are carried out in accordance with our written quality control manual, the Owner´s specifications, and the Jurisdiction´s Act and Regulations. CIMS's adherence to an accepted quality assurance system has historically provided our customers with satisfaction in a safe and reliable product. The following is a brief outline of our quality assurance process:    1. The General Manager and the Quality Control Manager determine the quality control requirements for each project prior to its commencement. They review of the Owner´s scope of work, inspection requirements, engineering specifications, and drawings.    2. A written inspection and test plan is prepared that describes the examinations and inspections that will be performed including the involvement of the Owner and the Authorized Inspector.    3. Quality Control personnel placed on site ensure that: Drawings, specifications, and the quality control manual are available. The Owner´s quality control representative and the Authorized Inspector are informed of the examination and inspection progress of the project. Materials are received and released for use following inspection and approval. The appropriate welding procedure specifications (WPS) are assigned for the job. Welders are performance qualified to the WPS being employed. Fit up and welding is done in accordance with the design and the WPS. Non-destructive testing and heat treatment operations are performed as required. Weld maps are prepared and completed, depicting the part, its location, welder identification, non-destructive testing, and heat treatment. Pressure testing is performed as required. The Repair/Alteration Reports and/or Piping Construction Data Reports are completed at the end of the project. All documentation is maintained in accordance with the quality control manual.    4. Following completion and sign off of the project, a formal quality management report is prepared for the Owner´s files that typically includes: Quality Control Summary. Production Report and Recommendations. Repair/Alteration Report(s) and Manufacturer´s Data Report (if applicable). Examination and Test Plan. Scope of Work, Specifications, Drawings. Material Receiving Reports, including material test reports or letters of conformance. Welding Documentation – welding procedure specification(s), welder log, and welder performance qualification test records. Non-destructive Examination Reports. Heat Treatment Reports (if applicable). In-process Inspection Reports. Weld Reports/Maps. Photographs.
