Red-D-Arc welding technology is widely used in the construction industry

Construction is highly dependent on welding.

Welding technology plays a big part in many industrial sectors, and Red-D-Arc Welderentals sells and rents top welding equipment to businesses in all of them. A key example is the construction industry. Structural integrity and durability are essential in this field, so a lot of metals are employed in it. Welding is necessary for the fabrication of structurally sound metal frameworks by fusing various components, and for creation and maintenance of non-structural components.

Building, infrastructure, and industrial construction

Construction is a broad, diverse industry. Welding is crucial to all three major areas, distinguished by the kinds of structures they create: building, infrastructure, and industrial construction. Building construction consists of structures in which people dwell or work; welding here is for connecting structural components, fabricating non-structural components, and setting up electrical, plumbing, ventilation, and fuel systems. Infrastructure construction involves mainly structural welding, while industrial construction has a diverse range of welding applications.

For a broad range of needs, Red-D-Arc supplies several kinds of welding technology, including the following:

• Submerged metal arc welding. Primarily for welding steel structures. Also known as arc welding.
• Flux-cored arc welding. Frequently used in fabrication using structural steel, as well as heavy equipment repair.
• Gas tungsten arc welding. Crucial for its compatibility with stainless steel, aluminum, bronze, copper, and other metals.
• Gas metal arc welding. For both structural and non-structural purposes.

There are many valuable benefits to using welding technology in construction. Structural integrity and durability are obvious advantages, as weld joints have high strength and durability to keep frameworks from collapsing. Welding also advances construction efficiency – especially when using the right equipment. Red-D-Arc offers ArcReach technology, which eliminates the need to move to and from a power source to make welding adjustments, boosting speed and productivity while saving thousands of dollars. Equipment that boosts efficiency includes automatic wire feeders, welding manipulators, turning rolls, welding positioners, and multi-process welders.

Other advantages of welding in construction: flexibility and cost-efficiency. There is a suitable welding method for every size, material, or environment, and high-quality equipment saves thousands on capital spending.
