The Metals Fabrication and Welding Program provides technical support to VTrans design and project management teams, as well as to the Construction Division for three key areas;
-
Review and Approval of Metal Fabricators, Coating Facilities, and Field Welders
-
QA inspection oversight for Metal Fabrication and Coatings
-
Reviewing Fabrication drawings, shop procedures, weld procedure specifications, and supporting qualification documents
This program is also a resource for Contractors and Fabricators to determine who is approved for VTrans fabrication work, who is approved for field welding on VTrans projects, and to clearly outline how to become approved to fabricate or perform field welding. We strive to keep our Pre-qualified Fabricators list, Welders list and other related publications as up to date as possible.
