At Vancouver Welding Inc., we provide welding solutions that ensure the safety and efficiency of critical infrastructure, helping businesses, municipalities, and contractors keep their projects on track.
Our Utilities & Infrastructure Welding Services
We offer a wide range of welding services tailored for utilities and infrastructure projects, including:
Pipeline Welding
We provide welding for gas, water, and oil pipelines, ensuring strong, leak-proof joints that meet industry standards.
Our team works with various materials, including carbon steel, stainless steel, and aluminum, to ensure the longevity and durability of underground and above-ground pipelines.
Structural Steel Welding
From bridges to large commercial buildings, our structural steel welding services support major infrastructure projects.
We follow strict safety regulations and use advanced welding techniques to guarantee the integrity of welded connections in high-load structures.
Power Plant & Energy Sector Welding
We offer welding solutions for power plants, renewable energy facilities, and electrical substations.
Our team is experienced in handling high-temperature and high-pressure welding, ensuring all welds meet the highest safety and quality standards.
Water & Sewer Infrastructure Welding
Our welding expertise extends to municipal water systems, treatment plants, and sewer lines.
We work closely with local authorities and contractors to complete welding projects that support clean water distribution and wastewater management.
Heavy Equipment & Utility Repairs
Infrastructure projects often involve heavy machinery and equipment that require ongoing maintenance and repairs.
Our mobile welding services in Vancouver allow us to perform on-site repairs to restore equipment functionality quickly, minimizing project downtime.
Utility & Infrastructure Welding Processes
This type of welding can very greatly based on the type of project. As a welder, great knowledge is needed to be able to select the proper process to successfully weld utilities and infrastructure.
Following types of welding processes are employed in utility and infrastructure fabrication and welding, which are as follows:
Flux Core Arc Welding (FCAW) & Metal Core Arc Welding (MCAW)
Semi Automatic wire feed welding process that can be used for pipe, structural or miscellaneous fabrication.
Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) / Stick Welding
Often used during field welding, a reliable process used onsite for pipe or structural steel welding.
GTAW / TIG Welding
It is a versatile welding process that is suitable for all welding positions. It uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode.
It produces the highest quality weld and has become a replacement for gas metal arc welding. TIG welding is mostly used where small welds are needed on stainless steel.
Factors Governing Utility & Infrastructure Welding Specification
There are different factors that you should take into account before selecting a particular welding process and welding parameters. These factors include:
Utility & Infrastructure Welding Inspection
Since there are many different types of welding applications in utility and infrastructure welding, inspection is necessary to ensure the quality of welded joints.
Following welding inspection technologies are applied on utility and infrastructure welded projects:
X-Ray Inspection
This welding inspection technique can detect welding defects beneath the surface. It is an extremely expensive technique that is used for critical weld joints as in nuclear power plants.
Ultrasonic Inspection
This welding inspection technique can detect surface as well as subsurface welding defects. In this technique, a high-frequency sound wave is detected through the base metal and the welded joint. When a wave hits a discontinuity in a weld joint, part of the wave is reflected back. In this way, a welding defect can be detected.
Both welding inspection technologies have pros and cons that need to be considered based on applicable standards and customer requirements.
