Forge for pipe & mechanical

ISOs in. Spools through. MDR out.

Forge reads the isometric package, cuts it into shop spools, and follows every weld from the station to the turnover book. Welder continuity, NDE coverage and CMTRs stay current because they're computed from the work itself — not from a spreadsheet that's three weeks behind the shop.

Built and run inside a working alloy-welding contractor, on refinery and nuclear-grade work. CSA N299.3 record-keeping included, not bolted on.

SHT 01 / 04 · ISO TAKEOFFForge for piping

It reads the package like your best estimator.

Drop in the whole ISO package. Forge works through multi-sheet drawings, follows the CONT'D sheets, and reads mixed-unit BOM columns properly — 37'-8" of pipe is 37.67 lineal feet, and a count of four elbows is four elbows. Every line lands with the page and the box it came from, so review is checking, not re-doing.

Automatic spool dissection. Each line breaks at every field weld and every flanged or bolted connection — plus loose in-line valves and transport limits — into the spools your shop would actually build. Shop welds stay inside their spool.
Welds derived, never double-counted. Joints come from the geometry; weld counts don't get invented twice.
PCF and IFC import. Coming from AVEVA or Isogen? The .pcf goes straight in. Model-first job? Pull spools from the IFC.
Priced with your classifications. UA, Boilermaker and shop rates with blended crews, foreman uplift and consumables — your numbers, not industry averages.

Fabricated pipe process modules staged for shipment

SHT 02 / 04 · SPOOL SHOPFit → Weld → NDE → Ship

Every spool earns its way through the shop.

Spools scan through their stations on barcode kiosks, and the weld log is written at the machine, as it happens — welder, process, WPS, size. Progress is earned in weld man-hours and dia-inch, so percent-complete means something when it hits the invoice.

Spool dossiers and travelers printed per spool, citing the codes the work is done to — ASME B31.1/B31.3, BPVC Section IX, CSA W47.1/W59.
Offline-tolerant scanning for shops and modules where the wifi doesn't reach.
Galvanizing and coating runs tracked as sub shipments, with return dates that get chased automatically.
Fab billing benchmarked in $/dia-inch, so you know your real cost before the next bid.

SHT 03 / 04 · QUALITYThe crown jewel

The quality system does the bookkeeping. Your QC does quality.

Welder continuity, per process. Computed from the production weld log to CSA W47.1 and AWS D1.1 periods. A welder can lapse on FCAW while staying current on SMAW — Forge tracks each process separately and warns 30 days out.
B31.3 progressive sampling, implemented. A rejected sample shot automatically requires two more from the same welder and procedure, tracked as its own population. The code book's rule, running as code.
NDE coverage in dia-inch, against a per-spool plan — VT, RT, UT, MT, PT — with repairs re-shot at 100% as a separate population.
ITPs with real hold points. H/W/R/V/M control points and three-party sign-off: you, the client, and the authorized inspector, each with initials, date and evidence.
CWB welder qualifications imported. The AI reads the CWB "Report of Welders Qualifications" and reconciles it against your roster — with a dry-run plan before anything commits.

On nuclear work, the gates tighten: verified CMTRs required, heat-number transfer enforced, CFSI registers kept. CSA N299.3 record-keeping is the system's native dialect.

SHT 04 / 04 · TURNOVERThe book is the byproduct

By the last weld, the data book already exists.

Every record above filed itself as the shop worked. The weld map, the CMTRs, the NDE reports, the hold-point sign-offs, the PWHT charts — each landed in its section of the book the day it was created. Turnover stops being a project of its own. That's the two weeks you get back on every job.
