Field Welding

This is what it looks like when the work has to get done in place. Not every weld happens in the controlled environment of a shop and our guys are just as capable in the field as they are on the fabrication floor. This was a tight space on an active jobsite and our welder is in there getting it done the way it needs to be done regardless of the conditions around him.

Field welding requires a higher level of experience than shop work in a lot of ways. You are working with the material in the position it sits, in whatever space you are given, and the weld still has to meet the same standard as anything that comes off our shop floor. There is no adjusting the table height or repositioning the piece for a better angle. You adapt and you execute.

The blue arc in the photo tells you everything you need to know about what is happening. That is a skilled tradesman doing precise work under real conditions and that is what Federal Iron Works brings to every project we are part of.
