What is field weld?

A field weld is a weld performed on-site at the location of a construction project, rather than in a controlled environment like a fabrication shop. It is typically used to join structural components that cannot be easily transported in their final assembled form. Field welding requires careful consideration of environmental conditions and often involves specific techniques to ensure structural integrity and quality. This type of welding is common in industries such as construction, shipbuilding, and pipeline installation.
