A quality system is only real
if it leaves evidence.

Every assembly we ship passes through a documented quality management system that governs the work from contract review to delivery — and every step leaves a record: mill certs traced by heat, welders qualified by base metal, every assembly dimensionally verified against the model, and every nonconformance run to root cause.

What that means when you prequalify us

The system is written, authorized, reviewed annually and audited internally. It covers all work at the Logan facility: architectural and structural aluminum and stainless fabrication, rail and stair systems, and the detailing, purchasing, inspection and delivery around them.

What it guarantees you is simpler than the document that describes it. Material is traceable to the mill. Welders are qualified for the metal in front of them. Nothing ships without being verified against the model. QC can stop a truck.

The Quality Manual, welder qualification records and a sample inspection package are available on request — send us what your prequalification process needs and we will fill it out properly.

01 — Material and welding

Traceable by heat, welded by people qualified for that metal

Mill test reports are verified against the purchase order at receipt, and material identity is carried from the receiving dock through to shipping. If a question comes back on an assembly two years from now, the heat number is recoverable.

Welding runs to qualified written procedures, and welders are qualified and tracked for continuity by base metal in a single register reviewed monthly, with automatic requalification flags. Nobody welds a base metal they are not qualified for. Aluminum work is governed by AWS D1.2 and stainless by AWS D1.6, with qualified WPSs on file for both; bolting runs to the RCSC Specification and ASTM F3125.

Purchasing runs against an approved supplier list with documented supplier qualification, so the traceability chain does not begin at our door — it begins at the mill.

02 — Verification

We check the part against the model, not against a tape measure

Every assembly is dimensionally verified with FabStation AR before it ships. The 3D model is projected onto the physical part on the table in augmented reality, and deviation shows up as visible mismatch — hole position, length, angle, squareness — against the geometry the drawings actually contain.

That is a different thing from measuring. A tape measure checks the dimensions somebody thought to check. The overlay checks everything in the model, including the dimensions nobody thought to check, which is where errors actually live.

It works in both directions. It catches an assembly before it leaves the shop — and it confirms that what did ship was correct, which is the half that matters when a question comes back from the field months later. The AR reports are quality records, not screenshots, and they can go in a submittal package.

03 — Why every assembly

The cheapest place to find a mistake is the table

A dimensional error caught on the fixture table costs an hour. The same error caught in the field costs a mobilization, a lift, a crane window and somebody else's trade standing still while it gets sorted out. On a supply-only package eight hundred miles from the shop, it costs all of that plus freight, twice.

That ratio is the entire argument for verifying 100% of assemblies rather than a sample. Sampling assumes errors distribute evenly across a package. They do not. They cluster in the assembly somebody was rushing, the one that came back from the anodizer late, the last one loaded on the trailer.

We know what field rework costs. We would rather pay for it in minutes, on a table, in Logan.

04 — Inspection and authority

Three documented inspections, and the authority to stop a truck

Receipt, in-process and final inspection are separate documented steps, recorded digitally in Tekla PowerFab Go — the system of record for inspections and nonconformance reports. Paper is backup only, entered within one business day.

The part that matters most to a general contractor: QC has written authority to reject work and halt shipment of any assembly that has not passed final inspection. That authority sits in the procedure, not in a case-by-case conversation with the owner.

Nonconforming work is tagged, held, run to root cause and verified closed before the job moves on.

05 — Safety

An EMR of 0.85 and no recordable cases this year

Our experience modification rate is 0.85 — below the 1.00 industry baseline, and below the 0.90 threshold most general contractors prequalify against. The 2026 OSHA 300 log shows zero recordable cases, zero days away, zero restricted duty.

Four members of the leadership and shop-lead group hold OSHA 30 certification; five more hold OSHA 10. Cards are on file and current.

The short version

What a prequal actually asks

Non-ferrous specialists

Aluminum, stainless and bronze are the whole scope, not a sideline. AWS D1.2 aluminum and D1.6 stainless, qualified WPSs on file for both.

Material traceable to the mill

Mill test reports verified at receipt and traced by heat all the way through shipping.

Welders qualified by base metal

Qualification and continuity tracked monthly. Nobody welds a metal they are not qualified for.

100% verified against the model

FabStation AR checks the whole geometry of every assembly before it ships, and the reports are quality records.

QC can stop a shipment

Written authority to reject work and halt delivery of anything that has not passed final inspection.
