NavWeld – NAVSEA Weld Procedure Management Software
A purpose-built system for developing, managing, and controlling NAVSEA-compliant welding procedures and qualifications.
NavWeld helps shipyards and fabricators generate PQRs, WPSs, and welder qualifications with built-in rules, automated validation, and audit-ready documentation—reducing errors, rework, and approval delays.
How NavWeld Works
NavWeld is a secure, web-based system for creating and managing NAVSEA-compliant welding procedures and qualifications—reducing errors, rework, and approval delays.
Procedure Qualification (PQR & WPS)
Develop and manage PQRs and WPSs with automated validation of essential elements, required tests, and qualified ranges.
Welder Qualification (WPQ)
Track welder performance qualifications, training, and welding history to ensure only qualified personnel are assigned to work.
Qualification Data & Documentation
Generate compliant reports and documentation with built-in rules aligned to NAVSEA and other welding standards.
CORE FEATURES
-
Automated NAVSEA Compliance
Automatically determines essential elements, required tests, and qualification rules—ensuring procedures meet naval specifications from the start.
-
PQR-to-WPS Auto Generation
Create compliant WPSs directly from qualified PQRs—reducing manual effort and accelerating procedure development.
-
Built-In Test Requirements
Identifies required non-destructive and destructive tests for each qualification—eliminating guesswork and missed requirements.
-
Qualified Range Calculation
Automatically calculates and displays qualified ranges for all essential variables in a clear, usable format.
-
Centralized Documentation
Checks procedure inputs (e.g., temperatures, materials) against fabrication requirements to prevent non-compliant entries.
-
Welder Qualification & History Tracking
Track welder certifications, vision tests, training, and welding history to maintain full qualification continuity.
-
Audit-Ready Documentation
Generate complete, structured documents with required/optional fields clearly defined and status tracked for submission readiness.
Key Benefits
Reduce Procedure Errors
Built-in validation reduces issues found during shipyard review—minimizing costly revisions and delays.
Accelerate Procedure Development
Automation significantly reduces the time required to create and approve welding procedures.
Improve Audit Readiness
Ensure complete, compliant documentation for NAVSEA audits and shipyard approvals.
Strengthen NAVSEA Welding Compliance
NavWeld gives shipyards and suppliers a structured, reliable way to develop and manage welding qualifications—reducing risk, improving accuracy, and speeding up approvals.
