It’s a fundamental fact that quality and safety are non-negotiables when it comes to structural welding. The strength, durability and safety of an entire metal structure rests upon the integrity of each weld - be it a downtown highrise or a commercial warehouse.
At Weld Rich and Steel, we understand that better than anybody else. That’s why we prioritize expertise when handling your projects, putting them in the safe and skilled hands of our CWB-certified welders.
In this blog, we will walk you through what CWB certification is and why it matters. Let’s begin!
To begin with, let’s discover what CWB stands for. An acronym for the Canadian Welding Bureau, CWB is a national organization whose primary responsibility is to set and maintain welding standards that are diligently followed all across Canada.
CWB holds the authority to certify both companies offering welding services as well as individual welders. When certifying either one, CWB ensures they also meet the standards set by CSA (Canadian Standards Association). A CSA standards clearance ensures that welders have earned the necessary qualifications to carry out specific welding types with specific materials while meeting a set of predefined parameters.
All said and done, a CWB welding certification is proof that your chosen welder has the skills required to perform high-quality work. It also denotes that they meet the necessary requirements for safety.
Being CWB certified is critical for conducting welding tasks in Canada safely and efficiently. Let’s explore the reasons that make it an indispensable part of structural welding.
Structural welding is not as easy as it looks. It requires deep technical knowledge as well as skill and precision. CWB welders are often subjected to regular testing. This ensures they continue to have a high level of competency. Since their work is subjected to strict inspection, clients can be sure every single weld is up to code. Not to mention it is also solid and consistent.
At Weld Rich and Steel, we ensure that all our welders are well-versed with the latest CSA standards and are certified accordingly. You can count on their work to be of high quality, whether they’re fabricating staircases, structural beams, railings or even custom components.
In Canada, most large-scale projects mandatorily require CWB welding. This is also true for public buildings or the installation of large structures in public spaces. Before work begins on such projects, it is compulsory for engineers, architects and contractors to submit their proof of certification. So if you are planning a project that meets all structural and legal requirements, you can turn to our CWB-certified welders. They will help you prevent costly delays and reworks while ensuring that your project meets building codes.
High-quality welding is paramount for all projects. Poorly welded structures are prone to collapse, which not only compromises public safety but can also lead to injuries. Or worse, fatalities. Fortunately, CWB-certified welders have the training required to ensure no mistakes are made, thus minimizing risks while enhancing safety. That said, our professional welders ensure that every joint is strong and long-lasting, thus boosting safety.
You can be sure that companies that prioritize certifications are committed to excellence. To them, it’s about doing the job right and not just meeting minimum requirements. They want to deliver quality that exceeds expectations and stands the test of time. That’s exactly the culture we follow at Weld Rich and Steel. For us, it’s not just a trade, it’s a craft that we continue to hone by regularly training and testing our team, ensuring they have the latest certifications under their belt.
We believe that precision is everything and that cutting corners only leads to unnecessary and avoidable risks.
