HOTPASS
Every document.
Fully controlled.
A fully optimized document control system built for welding contractors — organize every project record and generate a completed turnover package, all in one place.
Built by QA/QC — not guessed at by developers.
I spent years running QA/QC on welding projects, and watched the same gaps repeat on every job: procedures scattered across binders and shared drives, turnover packages assembled by hand the week the job closed, traceability that only held up if nobody asked the wrong question at the wrong time. Hot Pass is the document control system I wished existed on those jobs — built specifically for the small and mid-size welding contractors who live and die by traceability, not retrofitted from generic project management software.
A document control system, not a folder of PDFs.
Every project gets its own record — organized, revision-tracked, and ready to hand off the moment the job closes.
Weld Log
Joint ID, welder, WPS, heat number, and date — logged per weld, not per assumption.
Welding Procedures
WPS records — process, position, base material, filler metal, and PQR reference.
Document Register
Procedures, PQRs, and certifications tracked by revision, type, and status.
Certifications
Welder qualification status and expiration dates, tracked per project.
Non-Conformances
Root cause and corrective action documented per NCR, through to closure.
NDE Reports
RT, UT, MT, and PT results tied directly to the joint examined.
Pressure Testing
Test pressure, medium, and duration, logged per system or line.
Heat Treatment
PWHT soak temperature and time, tied to the joint or spool treated.
Drawing Markup & Callouts
Multi-page PDF redlining with color-coded heat number and weld number callouts.
Weld Map & GPS Photos
Field photos geotagged and pinned to a live map, organized by joint.
Project Turnover — Job Book
One-click completed job book — cover page, table of contents, every section — ready to print to PDF.
CSV Export, Everywhere
Every table exports straight to Excel-ready CSV, one click.
