VR SOP Training for Steel Fabrication & Welding Shops

Improve fit-up, reduce rework and increase safety

Fabrication quality depends on correct fit-up, controlled welding and disciplined inspection. Spark builds bespoke VR training that mirrors your WPS steps, joint prep, tacking sequence, weld passes, NDT routing and paint prep—so teams practise safely before working on real structures.

Typical challenges

  • Fit-up: alignment, gaps, tack strategy and distortion control.
  • Welding quality: parameters, interpass checks and consumable handling.
  • Inspection: VT, MT/PT/UT, defect classification and rework loops.
  • Safety: hot work permits, lifting plans and workshop traffic.

Our bespoke build approach

  1. Capture SOPs & QA: WPS/PQR, ITPs and acceptance criteria.
  2. Create scenarios: fit-up, weld sequence, defect discovery and repair approval.
  3. Coach in VR: prompts matched to your procedures and forms.
  4. Assess: right-first-time, rework drivers and safe behaviours.

Benefits

  • Fewer weld repairs and quicker throughput.
  • Safer hot work and lifting routines.
  • Audit-ready evidence for clients and inspectors.

Why Spark

Your WPS and inspection gates—turned into clear training that improves quality across shifts.
