About me
My name is Alfred Fiedler and I am a Journeyman welder with a
Red Seal ticket. I am able to weld steel, aluminum, stainless steel
with several different welding processes that include
SMAW,FCAW, MIG and TIG.
Journeyman Welder
A journeyman is an individual who has completed an
apprenticeship and is fully educated in the trade of welding
Red Seal Welder
The Red Seal represents a standard of excellence for
industry. It is obtained by successfully completing an inter-
provincial Red Seal examination
Steel, Aluminum and Stainless Steel
I have been trained to weld each of the above metals to
the highest quality using given specifications and settings

Qualifications
• Journeyman
• Red Seal
• CWB tickets
Journeyman
I have passed all three
levels of the welding trade
program. Therefore, I’m
trained to weld the following
processes:
• SMAW
• FCAW
• MCAW
• TIG
I am trained and
experienced in welding
these processes on mild
steel, aluminum and
stainless steel
Red Seal
With over 5000 hours of
welding experience, I have
taken the Red Seal exam
and passed it on the first try.
Welding Positions
There are four non-pressure
positions:
• Flat (1G)
• Horizontal (2G)
• Vertical (3G)
• Overhead (4G)
In order to be certified in all
positions all of the above
positions need to be passed in
the CWB welding test and then
need to pass a visual
examination by a CWB certified
inspector and only then a
destructive bend test can be
performed.
CWB Tickets
The Canadian Welding Bureau
(CWB) administers Canada’s
national welding standard. The
CWB has come up with a
standard procedure to which
welders need to comply and
perform a welding test. Once
the weld passes a visual and
destructive test by an inspector,
the welder receives the ticket.

Electrical Trench Covers
At a small substation for the new
Evergreen line, the electrical cables
are beneath the surface in a trench
and need to be covered
Flower Pot Stand
Ornamental flower pot stand that
has to withstand more than 400lbs
Structural Pipe columns
Structural columns for BC Hydro
substations with 1’1/2” thick base
plates
Structural beams and channels
usually require stiffeners at bolted
connections
Structural Stiffeners
Railings, structural steel and
canopies for apartment buildings
Canopies, Railings
Structural changes made to a show
room to accommodate the next
stage in construction (2
nd
etapa)
Beam Connections
A frame for a drive-through car
wash holding a barrel for cleaning
detergent. Shipped to galvanizing
and then installed on site
Barrel Frame (galvanized)
Fabricated numerous brackets using
a jig, then welded without bending
the plate
Pipe Brackets
Fabricated in the shop, galvanized
and installed on site
Vent Covers (galvanized)

5. 5
Roof Overhang
Cut I-beams to length at shop and
installed on site and welded on site
Fancy Steel Gate
Ornamental steel gate with some
blacksmith elements. A 3-month
project in the shop due to its details.
Installed on site
¾” weld (19mm)
Structural weld as per specifications
required for a structural tower for BC
Hydro
Welded 10” diameter pipe to a plate
while spinning it at the same time.
Pipe Welding
Structural columns, all parts
manufactured at the shop, fit
together then welded, before
sending to galvanizing, all welds
were inspected ultrasonically
Structural columns
All columns and beams fabricated in
the shop, then galvanized, installed
on site including Q-deck
Roof Cover (galvanized)
Frame for a substation tower (BC
Hydro). Fabricated the individual
pieces, then welded. Test fit in shop
before galvanizing
Substation tower (galvanized)
Fabricated numerous I-beams at
different lengths at the shop, placed
by crane on site
Roof Overhang
Fabricated in the shop, erected and
installed on site
Gazebo

Aluminum Gate and Fence
Fabricated and welded at the shop,
powder-coated and then installed on
site
Complete Penetration Weld
This is a picture of a not completed
weld to show how many passes are
necessary to complete such a weld
Electrical Trench Cover
Fabricated in the shop and then
notched on site to allow conduit to
pass down into the trench. Sent to
galvanizing after and then installed.
Fabricated and welded at the shop
then shipped to galvanizing and
then installed on site
Frame (galvanized)
Beams fabricated at the shop then
shipped to site and erected with
bolted connections (little or no
welding on site)
Structural Beams
The canopy and gutter were
fabricated and welded at the shop
and then installed on site.
Canopy and Gutter
These welds are common for
structural steel structures and are
time-consuming as preparing the
weld joint and cleaning the weld
between passes. Require run-off
tabs and are inspected afterwards.
Complete Penetration Weld
Fabricated and welded in the shop
and installed on site
Residential Steel Railing
This was a difficult project as the
staircase was too heavy to install in
two parts. Due to its weight had to
be installed and welded full
penetration on site. The welding
alone took two weeks
Staircase

7. Experience
I am passionate about what I do
and I love my job. I have
welded a lot of steel but every
job requires different settings
and weld sizes and one must
be careful not to use too much
heat or the steel can easily
distort. That’s why one it is
important to set up the welding
machine before starting.
Working with steel requires one
to be able to use all kind of
machines needed for
fabricating like shearers, band
saws, magnetic drills, etc. I
have lots of experience with all
those machines.
As a welder, I had experience
in both welding in a shop and
the field which are quite
different form each other.
Some jobs require little or no
welding at all as the
connections are bolted and not
welded.
I am forklift certified, have first
aid, possess fall protection
ticket.
