Qapqa | Automatic Pipeline Welding Services, Equipment and Project Support
Qapqa supports pipeline contractors with automatic welding systems, welding services, auxiliary equipment, on-site technical support and project expertise for pipeline construction in the oil & gas, hydrogen, water, and mining industries.
With more than 30 years of experience in automatic pipeline welding, Qapqa helps clients improve welding consistency, reduce downtime, and support efficient project execution. We operate from the Netherlands, Italy, the United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia.
Our flagship system, the PWT auto XCS, is a fully automatic P-GMAW welding system capable of delivering high-quality welds from root (with or without copper backing) to cap for welding mainline and NDRC’s, including FCAW for crossings and tie-ins.
All product development, engineering, manufacturing, and support is fully in-house in our factory in Italy, allowing us to control every detail of the technology lifecycle—ensuring consistency, flexibility, and continuous innovation.
Our scope includes automatic welding services, automatic welding systems, experienced welding crews, field technicians, and full project welding support. This covers welding procedure development, WPS documentation, operator training, and support during qualification and validation phases, including PQT, WQT and AUT with ECA, helping improve welding quality consistency, reduce downtime and increase project efficiency.
The Qapqa automatic welding services and solutions are used on large-scale pipeline projects worldwide. These pipeline projects benefit not only from our automatic welding technology but also from our hands-on project support and deep technical expertise.
Wherever your pipeline goes, Qapqa is ready to deliver a solution you can rely on!
