Welding Support for Manufacturers
We help manufacturers and contractors address welding challenges with qualified contract welders, practical process insight, and inspection support. As much or as little as you need.
How We Help Our Customers
-
Contract Welders
Our traveling contract welders have supported over $6 million in production work, helping manufacturers expand welding capacity without adding internal headcount.
We support manufacturing teams as an external welding resource.
Sanitary & Food Grade environments
ASME & ISO-regulated work
We learn your drawings & requirements then we work under your direction to ensure alignment with your standards.
The goal is simple: quality welds, reduced rework, and products that perform the way they’re supposed to.
-
Certified Weld Inspections
We’ve covered 10,000+ welds across the U.S., with ≈87% also compliant to ASNT NDT standards.
• Welder Testing
• Third-Party Inspections
• Pressure Test Witnessing
•Welding Procedure Consulting
Codes we work under: ASME B31.1, B31.3, Section IX, API 1104, AWS D1.1, ISO 9001, and more.
Typical for projects valued at $2m+ in overall budget.
-
Weld Improvement & Consulting
We’ve authored 15 formal welding process guidelines for manufacturers operating in industrial cooling, AI infrastructure, and energy production environments.
These projects focused on clarifying welding standards, simplifying documentation, and reducing overall risks in high-consequence production settings.
Our role is to help teams: identify welding-related risk, strengthen compliance alignment, and stabilize inconsistent results.
When welding becomes a risk instead of an asset, the nuances matter.

Q: What industries do you serve?
A: We support manufacturers, OEMs, and industrial contractors—from local machine shops to international manufacturers. If your work touches metal, we probably help someone like you.
Q: Can you help identify improvements in my welding process or production setup?
A: Yes. We provide process insight and advisory support to help identify inefficiencies, quality risks, or bottlenecks in welding operations. We can transform the shop’s tribal knowledge and the industry norms into practical guidelines. This may include observations, recommendations, and collaboration with your internal team to support improvements. We work under your direction.
Q: Are your weld inspections certified?
A: Yes. As part of our extended services, we now offer field inspections for our AWS CWI network that is ready to hit the road. All inspections are performed by AWS Certified Welding Inspectors (CWIs), with compliance to ASME, API, and AWS codes. Our role is to support compliance and documentation, not replace your internal quality team.
