Tatras Industrial has recently earned CWB certification for structural welding under CSA W47.1, strengthening our ability to provide safe, compliant, and high-quality welding services across British Columbia. This certification isn’t just a badge—it’s essential for industrial facilities, construction projects, and infrastructure work that require welding meeting Canadian standards.
What Is CWB Certification (CSA W47.1) for Structural Welding?
CSA W47.1 represents the Canadian standard for fusion welding of steel structures. It confirms:
It ensures that:
- Welding follows approved Welding Procedure Specifications (WPS)
- Qualified structural welders perform the work
- Quality and safety standards are strictly met
- Projects align with Canadian structural steel regulations
For industrial and commercial builds, especially those involving load-bearing steel, this certification is frequently mandatory.
