Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using undersized or inappropriate fasteners for critical bracing connections.Always consult structural load calculations and select fasteners (bolts, rivets) that are rated for the anticipated shear and tensile forces, ensuring they meet relevant industry standards.
Inadequate surface preparation before welding or coating, leading to corrosion or weak joints.Thoroughly remove all mill scale, rust, oil, and other contaminants from the carbon steel surface before welding or applying protective coatings to ensure optimal adhesion and joint integrity.

Common Applications
