Stair stringers and steel railings, balconies and guardrails, driveway gates and fences, structural beams and columns, custom trailers and equipment racks, guards and brackets, fire escapes, and ornamental ironwork - if it is steel, we have probably built a version of it before.
MIG welding covers most of it - it is fast and handles thicker structural steel well. TIG comes out for aluminium, stainless, and anywhere the finished bead will be visible and needs to look clean. Stick welding is what goes on the truck, because wind and rust and a dirty job site defeat the other two.
Anything structural or load-bearing goes through a certified welder, and jobs that require sign-off get a written welding procedure and inspection before they leave the shop.
