What this means in practice

The kind of work we take.

Example 01

Copper-nickel sea-water line, vessel in dock

TIG welds on 90/10 copper-nickel, tight schedule, vessel sailed on time.

Example 02

Structural repair, marine dry-dock

Hull and framing structural weld repair under marine-grade procedure.

Example 03

Dock-side equipment — crane and davit work

Weld repair on dock-mounted lifting equipment with load-rated weldments.

How the job runs

Procedure-qualified. Operator-qualified. Documented.

Every weld is laid to a qualified procedure by a qualified operator, with a documented pass log. That's what separates commodity welding from industrial welding — and it's the standard we hold to on every job.

  • Pre-weld joint prep and fit-up inspection
  • Matched filler metal and shielding gas to the base material
  • Procedure-qualified technique (stringer vs. weave, travel speed, amperage)
  • In-process inspection between passes
  • Post-weld visual and, where applicable, NDT
  • Documented pass log for the project file

Have a problem no one else will touch?

That's our specialty.

Cracked booms at 2am. Pressure-line rebuilds under a compressed shutdown window. Copper-nickel on a vessel that has to sail Monday. Call.
