Yes I totally agree this is what you call team work at its finest well done guys wish my bloody boys could do the same thing, Fridays is the only time you see them come together around about 3.00pm near to knock off beer time the mongrels. Praise the respect to you and your company awesome. Blue NZ
The helper just stood there and grinned when he needed to. But if your referring to the guy in the black and white hoodie he’s a fitter and that’s his job. Don’t think he’s a helper.
@@TheGsquad697 You must not understand the weld process. Yes, I am talking about the guy in all black with the blue hard hat. His job is to be ready with the rod, grinder and remote. If you’ve been around pipelines and fieldwork you know he was on 🔥. That’S EXACTLY what a helper is supposed to do. It takes a while for a helper and welder to be in sync. The helper needs to be 1 step ahead of the welder and ready for any curveballs. I have been doing this for 33 years. I’ve maybe had a handful of helpers that on top of it.
Those are some of the best helpers I’ve ever seen. I like how he was watching his tacks go in and gave him a little more amperage. It’s been my experience that they’re usually staring off into space when we’re burning. I’m on the building construction side though...different world.
Nice job. I am an old ex-fitter/welder and MAN do I miss welding on big inch pipe like this. I always welded 6010 uphill on most of the jobs I did, but it all depends on specs, of course. We did 5P root and hot and 7018 fill and cap. I LOVED it! Old and fat now, and probably lost my hand at it, but it's the best thing I ever did, as far as a skill set. Welds so pretty you want to take a picture of them.
That welder and helper work great together. It's great to see two professionals getting it done. That electrode swap out at 10:50 is awesome. Nice video!
I'm a weler gtaw/smaw all positions for qualified and certified Saudi aramco in long experience if you wat me please contact me for any country i can 00966501681698
This is your best video. I like to see the work heading up to the weld and the root pass. Everything after the root is just more of the same. Watching the welding isolated is a little like watching grass grow.
sure do miss brother-in-law'n on big pipe with welding buddies. unfortunately been in and out of hospital for almost three years. cancer got my right pelvis with no chance of reconstruction and now doing chemo as we speak. hopefully in the future i can figure a way to get back to working my skill. all you active welders, of all process, keep doing a great job! God bless you all.
Awesome job guys I built ski lifts for 22 yrs did a lot of tower work we used to cut the tower to length with a chain track torch sometimes splicing two thirty or forty ft tower tubing together we ran flat fluxcore using foot pedal rotary system welded top caps & 1 1/2" thick 4×4' base plates with eight gussets, we had a guy come work with us who was a pipe welder who worked for shell oil off the coast of California who had a truck n stick welder he'd tack the tower splice and weld up one side than the other the flux would hang off the weld he was one of the best welders i ever saw he made us look bad lol!! his name was bill bowen great job guys
Good coordination of work application ! Both the welder's have very good assistants ? Very good understanding and responsibilty to work executed by the team ! Great job Guys ! Well done !
I have built lots of trailers, gates,fence, But when somebody ask's me if I am a welder I always say no, This guy and other guys like him are the real welders of America.
Like clockwork. Do you guys always work together as a team? Everyone seems to be doing exactly the right thing at exactly the right time. Do you practice the moves,"off the field" you know, like a football team? Thanks for posting.
thats a good team there, that helper knows exactly what he has to do to keep it flowing nicely and the welder moving the stool over to help the helper out, all I can say is good team work
Enjoyed that !! My Mrs just walked in to the room and said , "What the hell are you watching now?" They just don't understand do they , I do my own welding with an arc inverter here, and have welded all my life, hard facing loading shovel buckets and teeth etc, but nothing on this scale , and after all that time I still hate vertical welding...subbed, well done from UK
respect to you and yer crew here man.. started welding 2 years ago and I've got so much to learn still lol, it's amazing how smooth you guys do this stuff
You are the one that deserve the thanks for all these sweet vids. Will keep watching as long as you keep em coming... and i def cant wait to start making that money. According to my uncle it is very very impressive. Keep em coming dude.
Props to that crew brother in lawing that . Man, I look at them boys and I am so happy that I got out of the patch. In this life you don't always get paid for what you know. You get paid for what you'll put up with. You can tent it from rain, still get wet. Tent it from snow, still get cold. Tent it from sun, still sweat more out than you can take in.
Well what can l say I've been welding 40 years and can say that I've never seen or met two welders that welding or agree on any they all think there way is the best and that may be inthere opinion but let me tell you you do it your way and it gets your desired results stick with it there's no right wrong or correct way just a rust that gets it done and that's the right way.

Lair down hill weld piece of cake, plus a helper and a heavy equipment operator, easy money you must not be a iron worker to say that I been there cake work
Welders are in high demand in a number of major industries including shipbuilding, pipeline construction, aerospace, and automotive repair. As demand continues to exceed supply, skilled welders have the enviable position of being able to pick and choose jobs based on the type of work they like to do, where they would like to live, and how much they would like to earn. A professional career in this industry will allow you to travel, all the while earning a solid income; not many jobs can compete with that!
From Alabama, Went to U.S. Pipe plant on a turnaround in Bordentown, New Jersey. Another "NOT for the faint of heart" was putting it, lyingly. Every day, All day 17 - 18 hr work days, For 3 months, Had I not been 22 at the time? To get some sleep, We slept on the job stayed filthy eating from their vending machine. This video caused flashbacks.
Ur welcome. I hired a great welder in Canada to do some repair work, he learned in the canadian Navy. He hand held a torch and cut a one inch thick piece of plate smooth as cutting a piece of cheese...I commented on how smooth it was and he said "that's nothing!" he was a great guy, very skilled
exelente video donde se demuestra el trabajo en equipo todos hacen lo que tienen que hacer. Nadie le hace el trabajo a otro. Felicitaciones al equipo de trabajo
Surprised they are doing downhill welds , we were always taught you do the uphill for a stronger weld , 40 years a Boilermaker , our pimps set us up and kept our needs met but we did all the fitting , grinding , tacking and welding , what do you think these guys make an hour ?
from this video it looks a little less stressful then i thought, so hopefully if i am a pipefitter it has this same environment lol, otherwise id just be pissed off the whole time.... but on the other hand, man you guys have a nice system of getting things done, im on my last year of welding and just got my certification for TIG root/1/8" 7018 fill 6G pipe, and getting fluxcore, smaw, gmaw, gtaw certs this year and renewing my 6G cert this year, then think im gonna study up a bit to be a CWI
Good video, looks like everyone seems to know what there doing! (probably all done it a thousand times). 20mins for fit up, bead and hot pass seems good going, don't know what people are moaning about! Although does seem strange for no pre heat! But who cares as long as it follows the procedure
All welding is done through an arc. And to answer your question, yes, it absolutely is worth welding. A: Stick welding along with TIG separates the boys from the men, meaning anyone can pull a trigger and run beads after some practice. B: No other process matches the tensile strength of regular SMAW. MIG filler wire has about 15000lbs of strength(depending on gauge) whereas the staple electrode 7018 has 70,000lbs of pull behind it. So yes, it still is relevant.
I do still love working on pipes, I remember d good ol' times on that size & sched' of pipes I'm a1 man band the only thing that helps me is the overhead crane and I'm also the one who operates....nice working on pipes brothers........
I weld like this time to time where I work, welding "D" rings on either ends of large diameter induction bends, 45 to 90 degrees. Strip a 6010 root in down hand, 8010 1G hot pass down hand. Complete the weld with 8018 C3 up hand. You can't roll a bend. These two lucky beggars have helpers, me and my partner don't. Good vid.
Forgive me. I'm a welder but not a pipe welder at all but I have a few questions if you could please take the time to answer. 1. How come you're welding downhand? Is that part of the weld procedure required? 2. Is there not any slag inclusions between the start and finish of each welds? Are these just burnt out and merge with the slag of the new weld? 3. Is that dial changing the amperage as the welder goes around? I hope I haven't made any offence just looking for knowledge. Thanks, Great videos by the way.
1. Most pipe welding procedures call for downhill welding. 2. You burn out all the slag you can, and buff and grind it out between passes. 3. Yes, the dial is the remote fin e amperage control
Your Tensile Strength is actually increased with the Shielded Metal Arc welding process when you weld with downhand progression and it is much faster. If you were to up hand all your passes it would greatly reduce production. Some people think that downhand welds are actually weaker then up hand welds but this is a common misconception. I have heard some welders say that the only reason they downhand pipe is because the pipe is buried and there's external pressure from All the compacted earth around the pipe after it's buried. I don't believe that because I've done above ground pipelines in the downhill progression.
+Bricksquadmonoply . i weld pipe everyday. i actually make the pipe, steel core reinforced concrete pipe from 30-144". up hill welding is both faster and stronger then downhill. going downhill has less penetration and you must do more smaller passes.
If you build a rack and have the rack loaded you can increase your production tremendously. you can keep your welders busy all day by having the pipe spaced and set up ahead of them.
I appreciate it! I just started to TIG pipe today and I've got a long way to go. But I hope I'll find something soon. I'm sure ill be coming to you with some more questions as I begin to learn more
Tell me if im wrong but they line up the pipes and then I'm guessing they use that blue clamp to hold it/use it as a guide for the welders to tac weld and then they remove the clamp to complete the weld job. I going to trade school to become a welder any advice would be greatly appreciated. Great video by the way.
okay cool :) yea im gonna get in that habit too. hit the high spots with the grinder and run 3s on my hot pass to burn everything out and whip it down. on your roots what did yall run.like eight land eight gap and five rod ?
Another fine video from you...! The only question I have is....what's the white mag-base piece of equipment? One commenter says remote current/amp control...?
I'd hazard a guess that it's a combination common ground/amperage controller. Scratch that, just noticed the grounds on the pipe that's used as a support. Look s like a remote current control.
Damn thats awesome, never seen saw before that video. So i assume you guys dont do the capping... Either way that is an impressive video. You guys are very skilled and really fast. Hope to soon be doing the same thing before the year is out.
do you have to pre heat the pipe before you weld or you welding from start and i was woundering what kind of material are you welding, ive welded inkin night and stainless, it welds a little diffrent, we had to heat the inanight to over 500 degrees before we could weld it
We also see companies pre double jointing pipe with semi-automation (as it is so much faster than the standard method), and then joining the doubles to the line.
You were playing a quick game of hangman with the pipe around the 2:00 mark, correct? And when the pipe won, you tapped your marker on it to show your frustration, right?
very interesting can you tell me please what is the instrument that they put on the right of pipe welding ?and what does the guy with the blue helmet when he touches it?
I am curious how you are able to weld the joint when there appears to be a collar of some sort placed over the joint. I really don't know anything about pipe welding. Is there an opening in the middle of the collar that allows access to the joint?
Good stuff! I'd love to get a job on a pipeline. I've worked in a structural manufacturing shop for a couple years with all different types of materials, but just got laid off. I do have my pipe cert with mig, & plate certs for TIG, mig, stick. I'd be happy as hell to get in somewhere as a helper or whatever I have to do to get to welding on a pipeline somewhere. Love to weld & to learn anything new that I can. What size 8010's y'all use & how hot y'all running? Thanks for the video. Have a good one
Well I for one liked seeing guys work as a team ,, get it done fast and maybe ,, just maybe take pride in job well done to the specs that they were told to complete. For an outsider looking in it seems they did a great fast job.
Kind of a dumb question, but I mostly mig and tig in my shop... =P I noticed these guys run one bead right after the other without chipping off the slag at the end of the previous weld. I guess there's no need to worry about slag inclusion due to the amps used, or what? Just burns it outta the way?
now a days, there is a trend that no helper with a welder, because a company wants to save the cost. so only a welder and a pipe-fitter are one team. this is what happens in Korea. by the way, stick welding is getting rare. especially, RT or UT point. thanks guys. your team works well done
It is all about the welder, He might be a prima donna but his ares is on the line, if you cannot do your job we will get someone who cam. Looks like a well oiled team.
I'm sure you've been asked this. I'm a welder in the Army right now. I've got a little bit of time left before I get out, but when I do, I want to work possibly the pipeline or something of that nature.I was going to head into a trade school to get some certs. then hit up a local union, Ironworkers,what have you. In your opinion, if you don't mind helping me out here, is this a good route to go? or should I just head straight to a union and go through them?. I appreciate your time and advice.
That helper was on top of everything the welder needed. Love it when you get good help makes welding so much quicker.
Yes I totally agree this is what you call team work at its finest well done guys wish my bloody boys could do the same thing, Fridays is the only time you see them come together around about 3.00pm near to knock off beer time the mongrels. Praise the respect to you and your company awesome. Blue NZ

you were probs told to push uphill, no need 6010 root 7018 hot pass
You boys are top rate pipeliners ! Keep up the good work & be safe.
Great Vid..... brings back many memories !! TY...... From an old retired pipeline welder..
Great teamwork,welders mate is on the ball! That's the way to do it,reading welders mind.
respect to you and yer crew here man.. started welding 2 years ago and I've got so much to learn still lol, it's amazing how smooth you guys do this stuff
Nice teamwork there. It's good to see people working hard and getting things done.
great video. I'm addicted to these videos. in welding school now.
your work is commendable, absolutely loved the video. Keep posting mate
You are the one that deserve the thanks for all these sweet vids. Will keep watching as long as you keep em coming... and i def cant wait to start making that money. According to my uncle it is very very impressive.

thnx for the new uploads...nothin finer than sittin back and watchin pipeliner vids.
Awesome trade assistant hard to find men like him now days good job buddy
Good work . not much unnecessary stories. I like the approach to the work
That guy with the dark face shield is a damn good helper!!!!!!! A+++++
Congrats on your views. That's awesome.
I'm surprised they let you bead and hot pass. They're taking away a lot of field welding.

Man thx me i am welder with 6years experienced i am living in brasil i want to come there
Oh yeah
The welder is like the Dr. in the operating room, every one else is assisting.

Good helpers makes the world go around.
yea a proffesional welder is an artist,because they always get it right in their mind before they deposit on the surfacce.
yes my friend you are right i am welder too
Good teamwork, makes for a productive day.
Surprised they are doing downhill welds , we were always taught you do the uphill for a stronger weld , 40 years a Boilermaker , our pimps set us up and kept our needs met but we did all the fitting , grinding , tacking and welding , what do you think these guys make an hour ?
With stick I've always welded downwards, was taught that way.
It's faster, as well as avoiding climate problems
from this video it looks a little less stressful then i thought, so hopefully if i am a pipefitter it has this same environment lol, otherwise id just be pissed off the whole time....
but on the other hand, man you guys have a nice system of getting things done, im on my last year of welding and just got my certification for TIG root/1/8" 7018 fill 6G pipe, and getting fluxcore, smaw, gmaw, gtaw certs this year and renewing my 6G cert this year, then think im gonna study up a bit to be a CWI
That's impressive up and welding in 4 minutes that would take me a day to do if I was by my self good job boys👍
What kind of electrode use this process, because they are doing always downhill technic, please refer AWS coding.
Good video, looks like everyone seems to know what there doing! (probably all done it a thousand times). 20mins for fit up, bead and hot pass seems good going, don't know what people are moaning about! Although does seem strange for no pre heat! But who cares as long as it follows the procedure
reminds me my first pipe job in Russia, Siberia. Welding machine sound instead of music. The same look of mother nature.
Great team work

hey lelas my question is that is a remot control to adjust your amps thank guy your doing a good job congrts thanks for the vid
I do still love working on pipes, I remember d good ol' times on that size & sched' of pipes I'm a1 man band the only thing that helps me is the overhead crane and I'm also the one who operates....nice working on pipes brothers........
looks like a damn good helper to me
Jep!!
Pay him Well
And teach him well
Is this really reliable? there is no internal welding??
If what ambient temp, id assume that the pipe was made of mild steel or low carbon steel. Nice work, thats quick productive welding at its finest.
I weld like this time to time where I work, welding "D" rings on either ends of large
diameter induction bends, 45 to 90 degrees. Strip a 6010 root in down hand, 8010 1G
hot pass down hand. Complete the weld with 8018 C3 up hand. You can't roll a bend.

No, downhill is faster. That's why is Pipeliners weld downhill. There are NO uphill welds on the pipeline.
Now there's one I'll have to research ... .
Great video, good helper. Do you prefer yards as opposed to moving down the line in the field?
About mid-video...is he cutting back start/stop points? I'm just learning, sorry for a stupid question if this should be obvious haha.
that was awesome ,..,what kind of stick you use plss
If you build a rack and have the rack loaded you can increase your production tremendously. you can keep your welders busy all day by having the pipe spaced and set up ahead of them.
I appreciate it! I just started to TIG pipe today and I've got a long way to go. But I hope I'll find something soon. I'm sure ill be coming to you with some more questions as I begin to learn more
Hi, im learning how to weld and did you just double welded the pipe? It looks like
Thank you
Tell me if im wrong but they line up the pipes and then I'm guessing they use that blue clamp to hold it/use it as a guide for the welders to tac weld and then they remove the clamp to complete the weld job. I going to trade school to become a welder any advice would be greatly appreciated. Great video by the way.
Lucky guess Ha :) Just have never seen big pipe like this being welded together.
okay cool :) yea im gonna get in that habit too. hit the high spots with the grinder and run 3s on my hot pass to burn everything out and whip it down. on your roots what did yall run.like eight land eight gap and five rod ?
Another fine video from you...! The only question I have is....what's the white mag-base piece of equipment? One commenter says remote current/amp control...?
I'd hazard a guess that it's a combination common ground/amperage controller. Scratch that, just noticed the grounds on the pipe that's used as a support. Look s like a remote current control.
Great video ,you guys are quick, how many joint do you guys get done in a day?
Damn thats awesome, never seen saw before that video. So i assume you guys dont do the capping... Either way that is an impressive video. You guys are very skilled and really fast. Hope to soon be doing the same thing before the year is out.
How long is a 42 inch pipe ? Thank
do you have to pre heat the pipe before you weld or you welding from start and i was woundering what kind of material are you welding, ive welded inkin night and stainless, it welds a little diffrent, we had to heat the inanight to over 500 degrees before we could weld it
what code are you welding to? 6010 rods? just wondering :) i'm a welder fabricator myself. thanks for the sharing the video :)
6010 root 8010 cap
I am a student welder and I think very good video from the educational point of view. Work a professional welder!!
Brilliant team work well done boys
nothing like a beautiful weld
What was the total time elapsed, from start of fit-up to completed tack weld? There was some fast-forwarding, so it is hard to judge time.
Electrodes are not kept heated prior to use? No portable oven?
why do the yanks still arc weld :S ?
We also see companies pre double jointing pipe with semi-automation (as it is so much faster than the standard method), and then joining the doubles to the line.
Another interesting vid. Some real gems in the comments on this one... How long do most guys work as helpers before they get to be welders?
You were playing a quick game of hangman with the pipe around the 2:00 mark, correct? And when the pipe won, you tapped your marker on it to show your frustration, right?
very interesting
can you tell me please what is the instrument that they put on the right of pipe welding ?and what does the guy with the blue helmet when he touches it?
I am curious how you are able to weld the joint when there appears to be a collar of some sort placed over the joint. I really don't know anything about pipe welding. Is there an opening in the middle of the collar that allows access to the joint?
Good stuff! I'd love to get a job on a pipeline. I've worked in a structural manufacturing shop for a couple years with all different types of materials, but just got laid off. I do have my pipe cert with mig, & plate certs for TIG, mig, stick. I'd be happy as hell to get in somewhere as a helper or whatever I have to do to get to welding on a pipeline somewhere. Love to weld & to learn anything new that I can. What size 8010's y'all use & how hot y'all running? Thanks for the video. Have a good one
Well I for one liked seeing guys work as a team ,, get it done fast and maybe ,, just maybe take pride in job well done to the specs that they were told to complete. For an outsider looking in it seems they did a great fast job.
Team work gets the job done!!
that tool holder thing for the grinder is a nice touch.
Believe that's also the welder "remote."
Kind of a dumb question, but I mostly mig and tig in my shop... =P I noticed these guys run one bead right after the other without chipping off the slag at the end of the previous weld. I guess there's no need to worry about slag inclusion due to the amps used, or what? Just burns it outta the way?
now a days, there is a trend that no helper with a welder, because a company wants to save the cost.
so only a welder and a pipe-fitter are one team.
this is what happens in Korea.
by the way, stick welding is getting rare. especially, RT or UT point.
thanks guys. your team works well done
1 MILLION views as of today!!! Huge thank you everyone!!!
It is all about the welder, He might be a prima donna but his ares is on the line, if you cannot do your job we will get someone who cam. Looks like a well oiled team.
I'm sure you've been asked this. I'm a welder in the Army right now. I've got a little bit of time left before I get out, but when I do, I want to work possibly the pipeline or something of that nature.I was going to head into a trade school to get some certs. then hit up a local union, Ironworkers,what have you. In your opinion, if you don't mind helping me out here, is this a good route to go? or should I just head straight to a union and go through them?. I appreciate your time and advice.
Welding 🥽 is my passion it’s just hard works 🙏💪🏻💪🏻
how the pipeline for, transport water or gas?
