1,600 Individual Welds! Whew! That Was A Project!





Several years ago, Urata & Sons Cement out of Rancho Cordova hired me to do some work at the WHHS Morris Hyman Critical Care Pavilion on Bart Way in Fremont. I was asked to weld 1,600  5/8” rebar to the third and fourth-floor decks prior to the concrete being poured. Whew! That's a lot of welds!

Interesting Baler Repair At Recycling Facility

 











This was an interesting job at the Recycling Zone in Fairfield. The Main pin on the Baler snapped and launched the main cylinder through the exterior wall. It bent and fractured the 2” thick plate as it twisted out of the pin bore. As a temporary repair (until a replacement plate could be fabricated) I Air Arced out the crack, prepped, and rewelded the plate so they could safely continue operating the machine.

Air Stream Gets a Replacement Coupler - Customer Gets to Go Camping!

 




                      Bay Area Air Stream called me out to replace yet another damaged coupler.

The bummer was, this lady came in Saturday to pick it up and set out on her adventure. They didn't get the replacement coupler in until 10:30 today, but I was ready to install it.

This was a 20' Basecamp model at $54,400, with state tax it's just south of 60 grand! Some of the trailers on their lot had stickers up to $200,000.00

Croz Welds Support for 80 Foot Tall Billboard Installation


This was an interesting job for Clear Channel Outdoor.  They were installing a new 80’ billboard just off of Highway 101 South on Shaw Road. My part was to cope the temporary I-beams to fit the 48” mast and weld them together to keep the mast plumb and in place while the concrete was setting up.

Extending The Life Of Metal Products Can Save A Lot Of Money! Croz Custom Metal Fabrication

 




Even roll-off dumpsters wear out or rust through. Replacing them is quite costly, but refurbishing them with some creative welding extends the life of the dumpster at a fraction of the cost. These are some shots from many years ago refurbishing some dumpsters for a local refuse company. It's always interesting what I will be welding next.
