on the AP 1000 Nuclear Power Plant Project. As the source my primary duties were to verify, witness and
perform specific activities at Oregon Iron works. I would monitored and observe Oregon Iron Q.C. conduct
inspections to their Quality Inspection procedure. My source surveillance inspections would be conducted
in accordance with plans to perform inspections, examinations, or tests at predetermined points and at
internals consistent with the item and service being furnished. My primary function as a source inspector
was to ascertain through proper examination and various tests that the material and equipment conforms
to requirements of Purchase order, Applicable specifications and drawings.

under Table 6.1 Visual Weld Acceptance Criteria AWS D1.1 for Cyclically loaded Tubular connections.
I would work with the Fabrication Foreman to establish hold points to observe joint design to ensure that
the procedures cover the type of weld specified on the drawing. As the lead inspector I would handle
Material Identification through Material Test Reports (MTR’s) and verify that the materials are in
accordance with contractual agreements. I would manage and write up Non-Conformance Reports
(NCR’s) and work with the General contractor on resolving the NCR’s. I’d handle the discrepant material
by segregating and quarantining as part of a process control process flow requirements and supporting
associated actions. My duties also included scheduling personnel to meet the client’s needs. I would

2118 Black Lake Blvd.
S.W. Olympia, Washington, 98512
Position (Certified Welding Inspector and NDT Technician)
I provided surveillance and conduct continuous visual inspection on the fabrication and assembly
of 48” inch diameter Pipe Piling that was spliced in 3 sections. This was done for the expansion on
the Piers for the Bangor Naval Base. I would verify the joint fit-up and inspect for Hi-Low to ensure
the tolerances were maintained, I would verify the essential variables such as
Volts, Amps and preheat / post heat treatment to current WPS. I would conduct both visual and
Non-destructive examination on each welded splice and member. Each preliminary inspection
consisted of performing 3 Nondestructive tasks. I would begin each inspection by first conducting
a visual examination around the entire 48 inch pipe. I would inspect
the weld profiles for cracks, weld base metal fusion, Cross Crater fill (Under-fill) undersized welds,
undercut and porosity. If during my inspection I found a weld discontinuity I would reference the
weld profile to Clause 6 Table 6.1 of the AWS D1.1. My Non-destructive inspections consisted of
both Magnetic Particle and Ultrasonic examinations on the groove welds to AWS D1.1 code
Clause 6 Table 6.2 UT Acceptance-Rejection Criteria for Statically Loaded Connections. After
completing my visual inspection, I would follow up by first calibrating the Ultrasonic tester using an
IIW Block Type 1 for distance, sensitivity, and resolution.
Next I would conduct 100% Angle Beam inspection using a 70 degree angle wedge transducer
and if an indication was found to verify the weld discontinuity using a 60 degree angle wedge
transducer on the entire 4 foot diameter piling. I would complete my final second phase of my
inspection by conducting Lamination check using a straight beam transducer scanning 6 inches
on either side of the weld joint ensuring there were no disturbances to the Heat Affect zone (HAZ).
The third and final phase of my inspection was Magnetic Particle. This inspection entailed
calibrating a DC Yoke using a 10 pound weight and inspecting the entire circumferential spliced
(welded) area for undercut along the toes of the weld.

In Support of Operation Enduring Freedom (O.E.F.)
I conduct continuous visual inspection on the welding for the Mine Resistance Ambush
Protection (MRAP) MSU vehicle. This was a mission in support of US Army Operation enduring
Freedom (O.E.F.). These vehicle upgrades improved the chances of Soldiers surviving and cut
down on the casualty rate when US Soldiers encounter I.E.D. (Improvised Explosive Devices)
on routine convey patrols outside the wire. The task of each inspection consisted of 2
Nondestructive Methods Visual and Magnetic Particle (Yoke Method). I would begin each
inspection by first visually examining each weld profiles for cracks, weld base metal fusion, Cross
Crater fill (Under-fill) undersized welds, undercut and porosity. If during my inspection I found a
weld discontinuity I would reference the weld profile to Clause 6 Table 6.1 of the AWS D1.1.
The second phase consisted of Magnetic Particle examination. I would start out with each
inspection by first calibrating the equipment. I would perform Magnetic Particle inspection using
Magna-Flux Y-1 yoke. I would perform daily calibrations on equipment. I would monitor preheat
And inter-pass temperature and verify Volts and Amps are with-in the parameters of the WPS. I
Would assist in resolving and providing solutions to problems. I would re- write new WPS’s to
meet the codes compliance. I would certify new personnel (welders) to code standards due to
high turn-over rate. This was due to constant attack from incoming mortar and Rocket
Propelled Grenade creating Stressful situations for new personnel.
