Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers about our stainless steel welding services in Qatar.
About Our Services
Services & Capabilities
What types of stainless steel welding do you offer in Qatar?
We offer a complete range of SS welding services:
- TIG (GTAW) — for precision, food-grade, and aesthetic welds
- MIG (GMAW) — for fast structural and production welding
- Argon welding — inert-gas shielded high-purity welds
- Pipe welding — orbital & manual TIG, ASME-qualified
- Fabrication — handrails, tanks, kitchens, gates, architectural
- On-site welding — 24/7 emergency and scheduled repairs
Which grades of stainless steel do you work with?
We work with all common grades — SS 304, 316, 316L, 321, 410, 430, plus duplex 2205 and super duplex 2507 for demanding applications. Every material comes mill-certified with traceability documentation.
What is the difference between SS 304 and SS 316?
SS 304 — general purpose, cost-effective, good corrosion resistance. Best for indoor handrails, kitchens, furniture, architectural work away from salt/chlorine.
SS 316 — contains molybdenum for superior resistance to salt, chlorine, and chemicals. Essential for Qatar's coastal projects, pools, marine work, and chemical plant applications.
For anything outdoors within 5 km of the coast, we recommend SS 316.
Do you install as well as fabricate?
Yes — full end-to-end service: design consultation → approved shop drawings → material procurement → fabrication → delivery → installation → snagging → after-sales support.
Can you provide fabrication drawings?
Yes. Our in-house drafting team produces approved shop drawings, AutoCAD files, and 3D visualizations before any material is cut — so you see exactly what you'll get.
Certifications & Standards
Certifications & Quality
Are your welders certified?
Yes. All our welders are qualified to ASME IX (pressure vessels) and AWS D1.6 (structural stainless). We operate an ISO 9001-compliant quality system and are approved by Qatar civil defence. Welder qualification records (WQT) and welding procedure specifications (WPS) are available on request.
Do you offer warranties?
Workmanship warranty terms are defined in each project quotation and contract. Material defects are covered under standard manufacturer warranties.
Do you perform quality testing?
Yes — visual inspection (VT), dye-penetrant testing (PT), radiographic testing (RT) for pressure welds, and surface roughness measurement for food-grade/pharma. All testing is documented and handed over with the project.
Pricing & Timelines
Quotes, Cost & Delivery
Do you provide free site surveys?
Yes — 100% free, no obligation. We visit anywhere in Doha, Lusail, Al Wakra, Al Khor, Al Rayyan, and surrounding areas, measure your site, advise on materials and finish, and return a written quote within 24–48 hours.
How do you price welding projects?
Pricing depends on:
- Grade (SS 304 vs 316 vs duplex)
- Material thickness and total weight
- Total weld length & complexity
- Surface finish (mill, brushed, polished, PVD)
- Installation requirements
- Timeline (standard vs express)
What payment methods do you accept?
Bank transfer, company cheque, and cash. For larger projects, standard terms are 30% advance, 40% on material procurement / fabrication milestone, 30% on delivery.
How quickly can you complete a project?
Typical turnaround times from approval:
- Handrails & small fabrication: 5–10 working days
- Kitchen fit-outs: 3–6 weeks
- Architectural features: 4–8 weeks
- Industrial tanks / structural: 6–12 weeks
Express turnaround is available for urgent jobs.
