Fabrication management

Fabrication management with one source of truth for the shop

Drawings, weld procedures, welder qualifications, material certs, NDE reports, and turnover packs all linked to the same job. No more spreadsheet hunts on the morning of a transmittal — and no more "which version did we ship?" at handover.

  • Central drawing register with revision control and PDF ingest
  • Weld procedures (WPS / PQR) and welder qualifications attached to each weld
  • Material certs (MTRs) linked to the heat numbers they cover
  • Inspector-ready turnover packs assembled from live project data
  • Transmittals tracked end-to-end with audit history

One workspace, every fabrication record

A pipe shop runs on dozens of record types — drawings, transmittals, WPS, welder logs, NDE reports, material certs, hydrotest sign-offs, punch lists. Piping.Tools keeps every one of them in the same workspace, linked through the drawing the work belongs to. The shop reads one truth, not seven copies of it.

Built around how the shop actually transmits and hands over

Transmittals send what was issued. Turnover packs assemble what was completed. Both are built from the same underlying records, so the package an inspector signs is the same package the engineer issued — only with the welds, NDE, and certs filled in along the way.

FAQs

What does Piping.Tools manage on the shop floor?
Drawings, transmittals, weld logs, weld procedures (WPS / PQR), welder qualifications, NDT reports, material certificates (MTRs), hydrotest sign-offs, turnover packs, loads and shipping. Every record links to the drawing it relates to, so navigating from a finished pack back to the original isometric is one click.
How is this different from a generic project-management tool?
Piping.Tools knows what a weld, a WPS, an MTR, and a turnover pack are. The relationships between them are built in — every weld can pull its WPS, welder, and material cert without you wiring up another spreadsheet, and the rules behind the data match ASME B31.3 and B31.1 fabrication QA expectations.
Does it replace our QA or document-control system?
For most piping fabrication shops, yes. The drawing register, transmittal tracking, weld log, NDT records, MTRs, and turnover packs replace the equivalent spreadsheets and folder hierarchies. Larger EPCs run Piping.Tools alongside their corporate document management for the fabrication phase specifically.
Can multiple shops or projects run side-by-side?
Yes. Projects are first-class, and team membership is scoped per project. A welder on one job and an inspector on another can share the same login while only seeing what they should.
