1.
Purpose
This document covers the Welding Repair Procedure intended to be used for specific guidelines,
requirements and responsibilities for the repair of welding defects for the Mechanical , Piping and
Structural work of West Qurna Ph.2 Project.
2.
SCOPE
This procedure is applicable to control of welding repair for all welded line at site. Also, this
document shall be used in conjunction with 77CO Specification are as follow. 8015-0151-77CO-00-
000-QC-PP- (Welding Procedure Specification for Piping) 8015-0151-77CO-00-000-QC-PP-
….(Field Welding Control Procedure) 8015-0151-77CO-00-000-QC-PP-….. (Welding consumable
control Procedure)
3. RESPONSIBILITIES
3.1 The QA/QC Engineer shall ensure that all the relevant documentation is correctly raised and
weld repairs are documented.
3.2 The Storekeeper shall ensure that all materials shall be inspected, documented and stored in
acceptable conditions with the necessary certification. He shall be responsible for baking, storing
and distribution of welding consumable and maintained its recorded.
3.3 The QA/QC Welding Inspector shall ensure that all repair welding joints are performed in
accordance with the approved procedures and specifications. He shall also conduct inspection to
monitor the weld parameters, consumables and techniques in according to the specified
requirements. Also, he shall control of the maximum number of repair allowance. The maximum
number of repair is only allowed 2 times.

5. PROCEDURE
5.1 Arc strikes to be treated as normal repair and other minor surface imperfections or damage to
pipe materials or fittings may be removed by grinding. The ground area shall be carefully dressed to
ensure a smooth transition with the surrounding surface without any notches.
5.2 Defects identified by visual or NDE examination shall be repaired as follows:
1) The defect size shall be carefully marked onto the weld to be repaired.
2) Weld repair or re-weld will be identified as below
i) For 1 Repair joint shall be marked as Joint No. (R1)
ii) For 2 Repair joint shall be marked as Joint No. (R2)
iii) For 3 Repair joint shall be marked as Joint No. (R3)
3) The weld repair location shall be ground up to the depth of the defect from the
external side of the pipe. Chipping, grinding or gouging shall be done in such a way as to avoid
reducing the adjacent base metal thickness. If the adjacent material thickness is reduced, it shall be
restored to its original condition.
4) The ground area shall be examined to ensure that all types of defects completely removed .İn
case of need NDE shall be performed either PT or MPT.
5) The ground cavity shall have a final shape such that, the side walls and ends area tapered to
allow electrode manipulation and run in/out of the cavity.
6) After removing defect, 77CO QA/QC Welding Inspector shall inspect it prior to weld.
7) Only qualified welder shall make all weld repairs using qualified procedures.
8) The weld shall be cleaned and visually inspected.

9) The repaired weld shall be examined using the original NDE method (VT, MT, PT, RT, and UT)
employed during the initial test.
10) Post weld heat treatment if applicable shall be carried out after weld repair. Preheating
temperature shall be conformed to the applicable welding procedure specification (WPS)
11) If no preheating is specified when the ambient temperature is less than 10°C, parts to be
welded shall be preheated to a minimum temperature of 95°C.
12) For carbon steel, minimum preheat temperature shall be maintained at 10°C for thickness
<25mm unless otherwise specified in the WPS and 95°C for thickness >25mm.
13) No preheat will be applicable for Stainless Steel.
14) CTR is responsible to ensure that after repair the hardness in base material HAZ and the weld
does not exceed the maximum allowable values established in the project WPS and project
specifications.
