When it comes to commercial construction projects, structural steel welding is the backbone that holds everything together—literally.

At Kings Mobile Welding, we specialize in on-site structural steel welding services for contractors across Virginia, with a focus on precision, speed, and reliability. This guide breaks down everything you need to know about structural steel welding—from methods and standards to the types of projects we support—so you can keep your jobs moving without downtime.

🔩 What Is Structural Steel Welding?

Structural steel welding involves joining beams, columns, joists, and other load-bearing components to create strong, stable frameworks for buildings and infrastructure. Typical welding tasks include:

  • Beam-to-column connections
  • Bar joist and decking welds
  • Base plates and stiffener plates
  • Moment connections and retrofits
  • Handrail and guardrail welding for code compliance

We perform these welds on-site using certified procedures and field-ready equipment, so your project stays on schedule without waiting on shop fabrication.
