Case Study: ColonialWebb Contractors boosts welding productivity with Novarc’s Spool Welding Robot

ColonialWebb Contractors Inc. - Customer Case Study

ColonialWebb Contractors Inc., a leading contractor for building and industrial systems, faced a significant operational challenge. The company needed to drastically increase its pipe welding output for a large project but was constrained by limited shop space and the impracticality of expanding its workforce. To overcome this bottleneck, ColonialWebb sought an innovative solution and invested in the Spool Welding Robot (SWR) from vendor Novarc Technologies Inc.

By implementing Novarc's SWR, ColonialWebb achieved remarkable results. The solution doubled their daily welding output, increasing it from 80-120 weld inches per shift to 250-400. This enabled them to complete a major project requiring 60,000 weld inches and resulted in substantial cost savings with a two-year payback period. Novarc's technology also provided high-quality, zero-failure welds and helped mitigate skilled labor shortages.
