Coming up this spring is a workshop for gas distribution system welders who work for municipal utilities or welding contractors.  Includes the opportunity to perform one or more of the pipeline welding procedures included in the IAMU procedures manual. Instructions on current welding techniques will be given throughout. The workshop is designed for beginning and advanced welding!
