8” Split Tee’s Installed For A Line Stop On An In Service Natural Gas Line

 






Another interesting mobile welding job was installing an  8” Split Tee for a Line Stop on an in-service natural gas line. Sometimes it can’t be installed (welded) exactly where the Engineer wants it because of exterior corrosion, so I have to find the best and safest place so I won’t blow through and… well… you know…! Here’s a picture of a very deep pit that would have been catastrophic had I welded over the top of it.

They have a lot of underground (30’-40’ below) stormwater separation screens to filter out the leaves, plastic, and silt from the stormwater going to the bay.

Welding A Natural Gas Line? All In A Day's Work! Croz Custom Metal Fabrication

 


I was called out to the Vacaville’s First Baptist Church on Davis St. several years ago by William Ford Plumbing to repair a Natural Gas leak. I cut out the failed coupling and inserted and welded a solid section of pipe. Problem solved.

"Small Jobs" are Important Too!

"I've got the Boat Trailer, but How will I tow it behind my 40-foot Gooseneck Trailer?" 


This customer required a 2-inch receiver hitch installed on the rear of his 40-foot 5th wheel trailer strong enough to tow a boat trailer. I removed unneeded plate materials, modified the receiver kit, and extended the original frame to accept the mounting plates of the receiver kit. It was then attached and bolted to the underside of the trailer. 







Ready for towing that boat trailer now!

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.

Replacing / Reinforcing Angle Clips for Car Wash Construction












This is the all-new 7 Flags Car Wash across from Ryan’s Automotive on N. Texas Street in Fairfield CA. I had to remove these angle Iron clips and replace (weld) them with larger ones. This is also what the finished establishment will look like. It is a fully automated, Self-Serve Car Wash, the vehicles are guided down the tunnel by a huge conveyor belt that the car sits on. Pretty Cool.
