What is bridge welding?

Bridge welding is a specialized type of welding performed during the construction, repair, and maintenance of bridges. It involves joining metal components—such as steel beams and girders—to ensure the structural integrity and safety of the bridge.

This work is critical to infrastructure projects and requires skilled professionals with thorough training in welding techniques specific to bridge construction.
