Heavy Fabrication at Swanton Welding

Heavy Fabrication is a type of fabrication that involves very large or oversized components and materials. Not all fabrication companies can handle heavy fabrication projects. If they do handle heavy fabrication projects, they may not be able to complete smaller sub-tasks associated with the overall project.

It’s important to find a heavy fabricator who has a diverse offering of services and a highly skilled team to complete the job.

Inspection

Inspection Is a top priority at your steel fabricator Swanton WeldingHaving a Certified Welding Inspector (CWI) inspector on staff at your fabrication company shows that the company is willing to make an investment to get the job done right. Swanton Welding has a dedicated Certified Welding Inspector (CWI) in-house that inspects every project.

Swanton’s in-house certified welding inspector has the ability to ensure that your fabrication project adheres to all the requirements before, during, and after your project is completed.

Our CWI inspects the requirements and welding codes of a project before any work is completed. They also review all the documents and testing records of anyone working on the project to make sure they are certified to perform the work – before the work begins. These checks and balances help ensure your fabrication project has the right people, material, and certifications all lined up before work begins.
