That's what happens when you bring a can opener to the job site. You open the can of worms and poof!
I was called into an ongoing project once. The job had been going for something like 18 months. My first day on the job:
a) the person performing MT was not certified,
b) contractor had no written practice,
c) visual inspection was "random spot inspection", meaning if the state representative was on site, QC would walk around and "looked" at the welds,
d) contractor was using GMAW short circuiting transfer on 8-inch thick plate,
e) no WPS with no supporting PQR,
f) welding symbols specified CJP, the contractor was depositing PJP. Granted, the welding symbols were wrong, but no one ever questioned them,
and that was just my first day on the project.
I feel your pain.
