Qualimet – Your Partner for Safe, Compliant Lifts
Elevator and escalator companies trust Qualimet for welding expertise that keeps their equipment safe, reliable, and up to code. We bring 50+ years of experience in welding engineering (est. 1973) and a safety-first approach to every project.
Why Safety & Compliance Matter
- Prevent Accidents: Small welding issues can lead to major failures – e.g. escalator step pile-ups from unnoticed cracks. We help catch and fix problems before they endanger passengers.
- Avoid Hefty Fines: Regulators enforce strict standards. In Alberta, elevator code violations carry fines up to $100,000. Qualimet ensures full CSA B44 code compliance to protect you from penalties.
- Minimise Downtime: Proper welding and maintenance mean fewer breakdowns. We help you keep elevators and escalators running smoothly, avoiding costly service interruptions.
How Qualimet Helps Elevator & Escalator Companies
- Certified Welding Procedures: We develop and qualify WPSs for repairs or mods on elevators/escalators, following CSA and ASME standards. All welding is done by CWB-certified welders under approved procedures – no shortcuts.
- Weld Repairs & Overlays: Have a cracked escalator support or worn elevator part? Our engineers design a safe weld repair or overlay plan, get regulatory approval, and oversee the fix. The result: your equipment is restored to full strength, code-compliant, and back in service fast.
- Inspections & Testing: Qualimet provides on-site inspection and NDT (ultrasound, mag-particle, etc.) to verify weld integrity. We perform required annual safety tests and documentation reviews, so you’re always audit-ready.
- Compliance Consulting: Navigating CSA, CWB, and AEDARSA rules can be complex. We simplify it by auditing your current maintenance practices, updating your welding procedures, and training your team on the latest requirements. Stay ahead of code changes with our guidance.
