Inspecting the fit-up of a fabricated steel frame

Practical quality

Repeatability is
the real test.

Fixtures and jigs, defined weld sequences, in-process dimensional checks, and the same welders running the same program. For structural and miscellaneous steel it is fit-up: holes where the drawing says, connections that land, and members that go together on site without a torch.
