Welding

1. All welding shall follow the provisions of the American Welding Society Code AWS-D101, latest edition.
2. All welding shall be done by certified welders holding current and valid AWS certificates and having current experience in the type of weld called for.
3. All welding shall be done by the shielded arc process using approved electrodes per AWS specifications E70xx (low hydrogen electrodes).
4. All welds shall have a weld-controlled sequence and technique to minimize shrinkage stresses and distortion.
5. All electrode filler materials shall be a minimum of E70xx.
6. Welding of sheet metal shall be following the 2006 IBS section 2204.1
7. Identify special procedures for field welding of structural steel elements which have been hot-dip galvanized after fabrication. Procedures shall ensure the weld’s quality by removing zinc materials during welding procedures.
8. All welding done after galvanization shall be protected with two coats of “galvalloy” or approved equal.
