Master Instructor Aaron Latta reached out to B&W to borrow a split Y stingers so he could show our welders a technique called jump arc or arc sharing.

This is used when two or more welders continuously weld on the same welding joint without stopping.

Aaron takes great pride to share these tricks of the trade to our up and coming welders, ensuring we continue to be known as some of the best welders in the trade.

In these photos you see Aaron explaining then performing it with member Ivan Iliev.

Continued success from our UTIP pressure welding courses!

We’re pleased to share that Reese Hubley and Jinyoung Kim both achieved their B-Pressure certification this past Friday.

After completing our UTIP courses in Edmonton (December and February), both individuals had already earned their C-Pressure certifications. Shortly after receiving their journeyperson trade tickets, they went on to accomplish this impressive milestone—successfully earning their B-Pressure certification on their first attempt.

Congratulations, Reese and Jinyoung, on this outstanding achievement!

Another great success story, as member Seth Baron joined our UTIP ABSA special seating today.
Seth has been working diligently here at the weld center on his days off, and it paid off.
First to finish his test, first to bend his coupons and first of the day to obtain his B-pressure certification.
Congratulations Seth!!
