Hospital Power Plant which also had to be 100% full penetration welds. I was also part of a crew that spent a month crawling around on our hands and knees underneath a retirement home in Aberdeen SD replacing 250 1" thread-o-lets on the steam line.

General Summary
Although we both have extensive experience with any kind of welding in general, the primary focus of our welding over the last 9 years has shifted to pipe fitting/pipe welding which in turn has made me very good at pipe layout and take offs for fittings as well as the welding itself. As you can see above, i've been in many different facilities over the course of my welding career doing welding (purge and non-purge) and fabrication. Over the years I have learned and been trained to use many different pieces of machinery and equipment. In the shop settings I have been in I had to be trained on plate rollers, brake presses, hydraulic presses, cutting torch, plasma cutter, welder (MIG, TIG and stick), forklifts (load-alls and grad-alls) deck cranes and over head cranes, track operated welders, idle rollers for tanks, grinders and bench grinders, drills and drill presses, chain falls and chain hoists, and last but certainly not least alignment lasers and levels. Again there were a couple years in the last 13 years that I wasnt actually welding but even then I learned to operate heavy machinery like backhoes, hydro-static plows, bull dozers, directional bore machines, ect. On the many different job sites that I have worked on I have had to learn how to deal with working in many different situations as well as many different elements and still manage to get the work completed correctly and safely because ultimately the work you do doesn't matter if you don't go home at night alive and in one piece! I have been a part of numerous plant shutdowns some longer then 24hrs because thats the only window of time to get all the work done and have the plant completely operational and you have to do whatever it takes!
