You arrive to a clean, organized bay. The first beam of the day is tagged with a clear piece mark and revision note. You confirm the orientation, scan the weld symbols, and lay out your plan. From precise measurements with tapes and squares to executing FCAW in 1G or 3G, you make every pass count—and every piece right.
