Ravindra S. Ghuge

With over 18 years in QA/QC inspection, I have managed quality control & assurance processes across international projects. My expertise includes welding, NDE inspections, hydro testing coordination, and compliance of international standards. I excel in daily welding inspections, line walk-downs, and creating punch lists. I have coordinated leak testing programs, managed hydro testing packages, and performed inspections for pressure vessels, piping, heat exchangers, and structural welds. Additionally, I have prepared quality dossiers, managed QC teams, and ensured welder and welding procedure qualifications.
