When the steel has to be welded in place, Mabutas brings the rig to your DuPage County jobsite. We handle structural welds for construction and renovation: beams, columns, base plates, supports, and field modifications, done to spec and around your crew’s schedule. Fully insured and comfortable working on an active site. Much of the structural steel that lives outdoors arrives already coated, and on galvanized members
the zinc has to come off first before the arc ever strikes. When a connection has to be modified or repaired, the first question is usually whether to weld it or bolt it, and
welding vs bolting on a structural connection lays out how load, steel and access decide it. When the weld has to be made inside a working building,
the hot work permit and fire watch sequence comes before the arc. Before steel that is already carrying a load is welded in place,
the questions that decide whether it can be welded as it sits go to the engineer first. Before a duct, pipe or doorway is cut through a steel beam that is already in place,
which cuts in an existing steel beam need an engineer first is worth settling.
