This is a washdown system that I teamed up with Trent Premier Industrial Services to build. We started with just a bare tank. I helped to design the system. I then cut and fit all of the hard piping lines as well as welded 3/4 of it.

We built the rack braces and hung all of the pipe in the top. We went with flange connections instead of field welds as this was an operating facility and we needed to reduce our footprint into their operations. Note the rolling offset with two holed flange. No problem with that over here.

All of the welding that we did on the tank was SS Stick rod. I’m quite capable of stick welding instead of having to resort to TIG.

Part of the wash down system included installing and piping in a water canon for washing trucks down. The canon is being modeled by Jack Trent - owner of Trent Premier Industrial Services.

It doesn’t get any better than that.

I am an experienced pipe fitter with all of the tooling needed to bring your project to life. I’m also adept at screw piping as well as welded pipe. I am AWS certified to TIG and STICK heavy wall piping and down.

This pipe was all fit by Burningbird and Welded as well. This project was all 3, 4, and 6” 308 SS hard piping

This project used all slip flanges. It was all low pressure water lines in a very caustic industrial environment in the St. Louis area.

Stainless and Inconel separates the wannabes from the real welders. Burningbirds philosophy is that the difference between a “welder” and a guy who can weld a little is the ability to run an x-ray quality root in MiG, Stick, or TIG on pipe in carbon or stainless steel.

99% of all SS welding done in an industrial environment is going to be TIG. The reason is quite simple. 99% of “welders” can’t handle SS stick welding. It’s also the most difficult root that one can put in. It is my opinion that SS and Incolnel stick is the most challenging by a landslide. The benefit to being able to do it is the same as in carbon. It’s faster ( I can average 5-7 6” welds a day on top of fitting and prep), and a whole lot cheaper. Argon just keeps going up.

Can you guess which is the position weld from the roll outs?

These pictures are all before the welds were buffed. I prefer to take the pictures before so you can see the lack of arc marks and a good welder can tell the story of the weld from a raw picture. I also love the colors that SS has when ran smooth and at the right heat.
