QUALITY, SAFETY & COMPLIANCE
Quality & Safety
KCS prepares project quality documentation to suit the contract, the applicable specification and the level of traceability required for the steel package.
01
Quality controls on a KCS package
Quality requirements are set by the project, and they vary a great deal between a commercial fit-out and a Defence or resources package. KCS works to the quality and documentation requirements nominated for the job rather than to a single fixed in-house standard.
Because fabrication and erection can both sit with KCS, the records follow the steel. A member fabricated and marked in the Holtze workshop is the same member the site crew installs, so material identification, weld records and inspection sign-offs stay attached to it through to handover.
KCS has delivered structural steel packages specified at Construction Category 2, and can work to the nominated construction-category and documentation requirements of a project.
02
Welding procedures and qualifications
Welding is carried out using appropriate qualified welding procedures by qualified personnel, in the workshop and on site. Where the project requires it, KCS maintains the welding documentation for the package.
03
Records, traceability and handover
What gets issued depends on the contract. These are the record types KCS works with on structural steel packages.
Material traceability
Material identification and test certificates retained for the steel supplied, so members can be traced back to their material where the project requires it.
Inspection and test documentation
Inspection records and test documentation completed as the work proceeds rather than assembled after the fact.
Project ITP requirements
KCS works to the inspection and test plan nominated for the project, with hold points built into the fabrication and installation sequence.
NDT where required
Non-destructive testing is arranged and NDT records are provided where the specification calls for it.
Fabrication records
Shop records covering the fabrication of the package, including match-marking and surface treatment where it forms part of the scope.
MDR and handover
Manufacturer's data records and handover documentation are compiled where contractually required, in the form the head contractor nominates.
04
Work health and safety on site
Steel erection is high-risk work. KCS operates within the head contractor's site systems and prepares the safety documentation for its own scope before mobilising.
Safe work method statements
SWMS prepared for the scope and submitted for the head contractor's review before work starts.
Lift planning and exclusion zones
Lift arrangements, crane standing and exclusion zones agreed with the site team ahead of the lift.
Inductions and site systems
Site inductions, permits and access requirements completed as nominated for the site.
High-risk work licensing
Erection work carried out by personnel holding the licences required for the task.
Temporary stability
Bracing and temporary supports held in place until the frame is self-supporting.
