Pipefitting
The steamfitter-pipefitter is a tradesperson with the knowledge and ability to layout with math skills, fabricate, assemble, install, maintain, and repair piping systems that transport all types of fluids, slurries and gas in the residential, commercial and industrial sectors. They are the only trade to specialize in planning, design, and installation of low- and high-pressure steam systems. Classes in these areas are designed to prepare and train our apprentices so that when they go out on the jobsites they can manage diverse jobs in such fields as oil refineries, paper mills, nuclear power plants, manufacturing plants, and in the automotive industry. The systems that the steamfitter-pipefitter may work on are some of the highest pressure and temperature applications and require a thorough knowledge of scientific principles to complete this work safely.
