At ProArc Consulting, I help fabricators, contractors, and engineers build reliable, code-compliant welding programs. With over 25 years of hands-on experience and certifications as an AWS Certified Welding Inspector (CWI) and ICC Master Special Inspector, I know what auditors, engineers, and inspectors look for. More importantly, I know how to prepare your welders, procedures, and documentation so theyโre ready to stand up to review.
Here’s What I Can Do To Help…..
๐ง Weld Consulting Made Simple
I provide direct, practical support that saves time and avoids costly mistakes:
- WPS/PQR Development โ Custom welding procedures written to AWS D1.1, D1.5, ASME, and other codes.
- Welder Qualifications (WPQ Testing) โ Full supervision, testing, and certification with clean, audit-ready records.
- Code Compliance Coaching โ Clear, plain-language guidance that turns complex welding standards into actionable shop practices.

๐ Welding Documentation & Record Review
Strong documentation is just as important as strong welds. I help you:
- Review WPSs, WPQs, filler metal control logs, NDT reports, and calibration records.
- Identify gaps and fix inconsistencies before they become problems.
- Organize and align documents so theyโre traceable, professional, and easy to present.
๐ AISC and Other Quality Programs
I do not provide official AISC audit prep. However, I can strengthen your welding program and help your team answer welding-related questions with confidence during certifications or reviews. This includes:
- Training QC staff on welding codes and recordkeeping.
- Making sure welding procedures and qualifications line up with AWS requirements.
- Providing technical backup when inspectors or auditors raise welding questions.
