Join the crew — WeldingQuestions
Yes. AWS D1.1, ASME Section IX, and 6G certifications are re-tested per code requirements and kept on file with expiration dates monitored. We produce certificates for your project's quality-control file on request.
We screen against the cert level you specify in the request. If the project requires a client-specific weld test (common on refinery and nuclear work), the craftsman arrives test-ready and we re-dispatch if they fail.
Stainless TIG welders for food-grade sanitary systems are a specialty subset of our roster. Ask for it specifically — Moms Meals and Meat Processing Plant work are examples of projects we've staffed.
The Standard
Licensed where the law requires it. OSHA-screened on every shift. W-2 employed — no misclassification risk. Staffed across the OK / TX corridor.
