    CWB Retained Engineering Services

    Across British Columbia and Canada, CWB (Canadian Welding Bureau) certification is a legal requirement for companies involved in fabricating and erecting welded steel and aluminum structures. This includes everything from tank supports and welded-on ladders to portable structures such as skid packages.

    To be certified under the CSA W47.1 (steel) or CSA W47.2 (aluminum) standards, a company must either:

    • Employ a CWB-certified welding engineer (Division I), or

    • Retain a CWB-certified welding engineer (Division II)

    For welded steel and aluminum structures, compliance with CSA W59.1 (structural steel) and CSA W59.2 (structural aluminum) is also mandatory to ensure quality and safety.

    If your operations fall under Division II, Glent Works Canada Inc. is your trusted partner for meeting these regulatory requirements efficiently and cost-effectively. We provide expertise in:

    • CWB welding procedure development and registration

    • Visual welding inspection and NDT (MT, PT)

    • QA/QC program setup and compliance monitoring

    Glent Works ensures your fabrication processes comply with Canadian welding codes while helping you optimize costs and maintain high-quality standards.

    Glent Works Canada Inc. offers Retained CWB Welding Engineer services to support your structural steel and aluminum fabrication and erection activities. Our team of CWB-certified engineers acts as your on-demand engineering department, providing the expertise and certification support you need—without the cost of a full-time hire.

    • Due diligence review and guidance to meet CWB application requirements

    • Assistance with CWB applications and certification processes

    • Development of Welding Procedure Specifications (WPS) and Welding Procedure Data Sheets (WPDS) for steel and aluminum

    • Acting as your official Retained Engineer

    • Quarterly site visits and audit reports as required by CSA W47.1/W47.2

    • Ongoing compliance support, including interpretation of CSA W47.1, W47.2, W59.1, and W59.2 standards
