Connect each weld with its test records
A weld map helps people find a weld on a drawing and match it to the relevant inspection or test record. PWC prepares weld and NDT maps for fabrication projects Australia-wide.
What weld mapping covers
Weld mapping assigns information to each weld joint, so its design (WPS), production (welders, their qualifications and date welded), quality (visual inspection and NDT) and traceability (heat numbers of the materials joined and welding consumables) can be identified easily.
What to send us
Start with the drawings, weld details and any existing inspection or test records. Include your customer’s numbering or document requirements.
A clear record of the work
The map and linked records should make it easier to see which weld was checked and find the results.
Find the weld, then find the report
On the drawing, each weld has a clear reference, such as W01 or W02. The record list uses the same reference to show which weld was inspected and where to find its test report.
For example: “Weld W01 — drawing D03 — inspection report IR07.” This helps your customer follow the records without searching through the whole job folder.

You may also need welding inspection or support preparing the project document set. Tell us which parts are already complete.
Common questions
What is a weld map?
A weld map gives each weld joint a reference, such as W01, on the drawing. The same reference links that weld to its procedure, welder, inspection and NDT results, and material heat numbers.
What do you need from us?
Your drawings, weld details and any existing inspection or test records, plus your customer’s numbering or document requirements.
Can you show me an example from a real project?
We don’t publish client weld maps or reports. We’re happy to talk you through how the mapping and traceability would work on your job.
