NWS Pole Division Certified
Northwest Signal Supply (NWS) recently reinforced its reputation for manufacturing high quality steel poles. Passing the rigorous scrutiny of inspectors from AISC and are now a certified steel fabricator.
The AISC certification process verified that our organizational structure and manufacturing processes are appropriate to guarantee high quality products. The AISC team reviewed NWSs’ training practices, our welding procedures, our fabrication methods, our documentation and our record keeping. Further, they sent a welding expert to our plant to review our shop layout and equipment and to observe our fabricators at work. The end result is the achievement of a credential that we are well qualified to hold.
The requirement for AISC certification is becoming commonplace in the Standard Specifications for Departments of Transportation. California requires this certification of their pole manufacturers.
