Defence

Whether it be submarines, warships, land vehicles or aircraft, Defence subjects its platforms to some of the harshest environmental conditions known to man. As a result, Defence naturally expects that its assets adhere to the highest standards.

If you need assistance with material welding, joining services and coatings, Technoweld is your natural partner of choice. Having spent the last decade working around the globe, Technoweld has developed an unrivalled understanding of Australian Standards, American Standards, European Standards and International Standards. This is vitally important when considering that many of Australia’s most significant Defence acquisitions to be made over the next decade will have been designed in either Europe, the United Kingdom and/or the United States. Technoweld not only understands how to interpret these standards (including any overlap between them), but it has the practical knowledge and experience in implementing them on the shop-floor. It is this practical understanding that ensures clients succeed in meeting the stringent requirements expected of them.

A leader in its field, Technoweld is certified to ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 17025:2005. The company has extensive experience in working both directly for Defence as well as working in partnership with defence industry. Some of its Defence and defence industry clients include Capability Acquisition and Sustainment Group (CASG), BAE Systems Australia, Forgacs/Broens, Adlingtons Australia, MG Engineering, Smart Fabrication and more.

Vital to its work in the maritime sector, Technoweld has extensive experience in working on class vessels to various codes including DNV-GL, Lloyds and the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS). Some of the services Technoweld is most commonly called to help with in Defence include:

Welding procedures/qualifications
Welding engineering/consultancy
Welding and coatings inspection
Development and implementation of welding management systems in accordance with ISO 3834:2005 (Quality requirements for fusion welding of metallic materials)
Welding coordination
Ultrasonic Peening (a fatigue life improvement method capable of extending the life of structures that are subjected to cyclical stresses by up to 8 times)

Technoweld is also often brought by its clients as a third-party witness, and on many occasions, a testament to the company’s reputation as leader in its field, it has been requested to act as an expert witness or subject matter expert in a number of high profile court cases. Whether it is as a preventative (to ensure your project has the highest likelihood of success before commencement) or after the fact (where your project is facing material joining and/or coatings challenges) when you partner with Technoweld, you can be confident you’re investing in the best.
