Structural Welding
Code-compliant welds on steel buildings, bridges, beams, and heavy plate fabrications, typically qualified to AWS D1.1. Structural welders read connection details, pass position-specific tests (1G through 4G), and produce welds that hold up to inspection and load. Employers pay a premium for welders who can pass a plate test on the first try.
