Case Study: Metropolitan Mechanical Contractors achieves higher weld quality and productivity with Novarc's Spool Welding Robot

Metropolitan Mechanical Contractors Inc. is dedicated to designing, building, and installing commercial mechanical solutions

Metropolitan Mechanical Contractors (MMC), a commercial mechanical services contractor, was challenged by the need to improve the consistency and quality of their pipe welding to meet stringent project requirements for x-ray and ultrasound testing. To address this, they invested in the Spool Welding Robot (SWR) from Novarc Technologies Inc., seeking a solution to achieve more reliable welds and reduce their dependency on scarce, highly skilled welders.

By implementing Novarc's SWR, MMC significantly boosted its welding productivity to 250 factored diameter inches per shift and achieved a remarkable 0% repair rate, eliminating costly rework. The solution from Novarc also allowed MMC to effectively train junior welders to produce high-quality results, increasing their capacity and making them more competitive when bidding on large-scale projects.
