In early 2018, Swanton Welding partnered with Swanton Public Schools to offer an introduction to welding opportunity for Swanton High School students at the recently opened the N.D. Zeiter School of Technology.
Swanton Welding was featured in a segment on WTOL's Your Day at 9. Swanton Welding's Chuck Morgan and Bill Zeiter were interviewed by WTOL's Amanda Fey about the welding, fabrication, and career opportunities available at Swanton Welding's Main and Heavy Fabrication facilities in Ohio.
Swanton Welding is excited to announce their partnership with Swanton High School to open the N.D. Zeiter School of Technology.
A fabricated structural steel product is only as good as the weld that keeps it together. Not only is it important for an engineer to determine the proper weld to use, but also the welding technique to implement. That can be a little trickier.
Stainless steel can be the steel of choice for many applications, but when it comes to heavy fabrication, the cost of creating large pieces entirely from stainless can be cost prohibitive.
Creating non-essential parts and framework from a lower costing carbon steel can help reduce the overall costs of larger fabrication projects.
Building a massive metal device to lift semi trucks in the air and tilt them several degrees safely and securely is no easy feat. But Swanton Welding didn’t just fabricate one, the company created two at the same time.
Companies are always looking for ways to increase profits and decrease spending. But it is extremely important to save money where you can without compromising the quality or integrity of the product.
Paint is the most commonly used material to protect steel and other metals.This is mainly done for two reasons; for appearance and for corrosion prevention. Why would you want your huge financial investment to look bad and just rust away?
Key qualities of a successful project manager include integrity, vision, enthusiasm, competence, composure and team building. Swanton Welding project manager, Kody Kessler, embodies all of these traits and many more.
The absolute last thing you want in a fabrication project is for a steel structure to fatigue and fail. Quality steel could be the secret to successfully avoiding this. However, quality steel is much more than meets the eye.
