When I worked in the Middle East & China I ran into this 'Repair Welding Procedue' required scenario. After a lot of back and forth discussion I discovered that what the client wanted
was a 'Construction Weld Repair Procedure', not a new repair WPS. They wanted a detailed weld repair procedure such as we are required to use on 'NUCLEAR PLANTS'. They wanted a detailed drawing showing the defect, what type of defect, how it was to be removed, the excavated area dimensions, what WPS to be used, what NDE,etc.It was a detailed Welding Repair document.
