Although our visit was indoors, the weather gave us insight into the conditions the field crew would encounter while erecting the steel structure. Walters Inc. designs, manufactures and erects steel building systems. The following sections explain: • Typical procedure for projects • Welding processes and positions • Torque control bolts and making holes in beams • Efficient and economical use of elements • Installers and their role in a project • Prices and drawings 2.0 Walters Project Procedure There is a long process from the time Walters is assigned the job to the time the steel arrives on site. After the tender phase, Walters receives structural and architectural drawings from the client. They start by detailing the connections based on customer drawings. If changes occur or a connection is too complex, they may meet with the customer to discuss how they can make the connection less complex. All this is done keeping in mind the welding positions of the on-site and off-site welders. Walters employees would then begin to establish a schedule of when the steel pieces would be erected. Once the connection drawings are completed, they are sent for approval. If not approved, the drawings are...... middle of paper ......ing and Cutting Canada: http://www.esab.com/de/de/support/upload/XA00136020 -Submerged -Arc-welding-handbook.pdfEuropean Federation of Welding, Assembly and Cutting.
