Structural Steel Fabricators & Welding
The success of any major construction project is highly dependent upon successful welding techniques. Refinements and advancements in technology for welding techniques have allowed architectural designs to be more complex and stylized than ever before. It’s important to us as a company to invest in professional development for our own employees to learn new welding techniques. We also make sure our equipment and machine operators are trained and we regularly invest in new equipment to help our fabrication become more efficient. At Swanton Welding, we believe it’s important to stay on top of industry trends in regards to welds and materials. We employ a Certified Welding Inspector to help Swanton Welding stay at the forefront of innovation as the best structural steel fabricator in the midwest.

Welding is the Future
Welded structural steel is a stronger and more cost-effective solution, but there are other advantages to using welded structural steel. Swanton Welding has taken the time to find experienced and highly knowledgeable structural steel fabricators and structural steel welders to join our team. Education and experience make all the difference when it comes to welding structural steel. The types of welding that are needed for each individual project may be diverse and challenging, but our team is up to the test. Swanton Welding is proficient and experienced in all of the types of welding used in conjunction with structural steel.
Structural Steel Fabrication Inspection
Having 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 structural steel fabrication project adheres to all the requirements and relevant welding codes, 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 structural steel fabrication project has the right people, material, and certifications all lined up before work begins. An inspector follows the project throughout, helping make adjustments to make sure that Swanton Welding’s high-quality standards are met. Having a CWI on staff helps us continue to maintain best practices and safety standards for our staff and your fabrication project.
