QUALITY ASSURANCE & QUALITY CONTROL
Bristow Projects maintains a high standard of integrity in its Quality Control/Quality Assurance program. It includes manuals, exhibits, forms, procedures and accompanying training for the designated company representatives. It is designed to meet all client and government requirements in Western Canada.
​
Quality control manuals are registered and accepted by the provincial authorities of Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba and Saskatchewan. They are the “legal documents” which act as a license to construct pressure piping to ASME B31.3 and CSA B51 codes for projects (in whole or in part) under the jurisdiction of the provincial authorities of these provinces. The QC manual is applicable to both “Pipeline” and “Facility” construction, ensuring a superior finished product. The manual outlines the procedures to be used by BPI to construct, repair or alter pressure piping and oil and gas transmission pipelines in the Western Canada.
Completed Quality Control documents will be supplied to our clients in a digital format.
The QA/QC program will provide clients with an idea of Bristow’s capabilities and understanding of the industry. All construction is performed in accordance with the current applicable codes and standards, including: ASME B31.3, CSA B51, CSA Z662, and CWB Structural Steel Fabrication Certification.

BPI Programs
Bristow Management Systems
Bristow Projects Management System is a project reporting system consisting of integrated tools generated from both field operations and management. It uses both field and corporate generated reports to create a unique communication system. Project information from the office can help generate detailed job plans, while daily field reports give real time evaluation of field costs (including approved 3rd party costs), time lines and equipment/manpower details for the day.
The information from the daily field reports includes all meetings (tailgate, hazard assessment cards and site specific meetings), reflecting BPI’s commitment to safety. The foreman’s report and schedule control provides details on projected costs, activities and any variances compared to the plan. This allows the client to have complete transparency on projects in regards to costs and schedule changes.
It is our most effective means of communicating with our client on the progress of their projects. It also allows us to maximize manpower and utilize equipment company wide.
Fleet Management
Our goal for all service vehicles and equipment is to meet or exceed the National Safety Codes and Standards. With this in mind, BPI has a fleet management system implemented company wide that has been developed around both GPS tracking of all equipment and daily reporting on all wheeled and tracked equipment. We also ensure to adhere to our formal maintenance schedule to meet all legislative, company and manufacturer requirements. Service records for all units are maintained and equipment utilization is tracked daily.
All provincial and federal certification requirements are tracked and maintain to ensure due diligence requirements are met and all of BPI’s equipment is adequately prepared.
