How does on site welding differ from traditional welding
Once a fabrication shop has been awarded with a certain project, the fabricators begin with the planning and preparation stage. The right raw materials are chosen including tools that will be used to cut metal to its correct size. Parts are welded together inside the fabrication shop after which the final product is inspected to prior to delivery to the customer. Metal fabricators specialize in specific processes that include cutting, bending and welding. To put it simply, traditional welding is performed right within the confines of a fabrication shop. On the other hand, on site welding does not require you to bring your project to the fabrication shop for assembly; experienced welders will go to place of choice to perform the welding process according to your specific requirements. You do not have to wait for days or even weeks for your project to be completed, since on site welding will get the job done immediately. Your project gets individualized attention from an expert welder.
On site welders frequently provide customized services. They know the right solutions for client specific problems because they are well equipped with experience and training to be efficient in their job. On site welding is more flexible because welders can be called at any time of day. It is definitely more convenient when expert welders are available as soon as you need them because you are assured of getting work done according to schedule. The job that is handled at a fabrication shop is accomplished for a relatively shorter time because you will not be sharing the welder with other clients.
Ensuring a proper welding environment
On site welding requires establishing a safe and compliant working environment. A critical part of the process is fume management particularly if welding will take place in a residential area. It is important to take note of whatever existing local regulations that pertain to welding compliance. Logically, the first step is to be aware of regulations that apply to a certain area before making an inspection of the location. Another factor that may directly affect the welding operation is the presence of contaminants in the environment. In some instances, fume management becomes critical for the removal of contaminated air that may be hazardous to the welder and other individuals near the operation. It is also important to understand the risks involved and all precautions must be undertaken to safeguard people and property against any existing hazards.
