Arc Energy Resources appoints
welding engineer
SPECIALISTweld engineering company
Arc Energy Resources has appointed
David Hodges as welding engineer.
Mr Hodges began his welding career
as an apprentice, where he gained
experience in both sheet metalwork
and welding. He progressed into
design, quality and manufacturing for
specialist automotive and rail products
manufacturer Johnson Security, before
achieving the role of senior production
engineer and welding specialist,
working between factories in both the
UK and China.
In his role as senior welding process
engineer with his previous company,
IMI, he successfully established two
new product lines, whilst supporting
and improving current production of
products for the nuclear industry.
Welcoming Mr Hodges to the Arc
Energy Resources team to focus
on weld engineering within the oil
and gas industry, managing director
Alan Robinson says his previous
experience in senior roles and his in-
depth knowledge of welding make him
a valuable asset.
Arc Energy Resources specialises in
weld overlay cladding and fabrication for
the oil and gas industry. The company’s
expertise provides protection against
corrosion and wear for a variety of
process and pipeline equipment for use
in any hostile environment.
The company recently made a major
investment in two new rotating head
welding machines costing £500,000.
This has increased productivity and
extended the size and scope of work
it can handle, which now includes
complicated component geometries for
the full or partial cladding and fabrication
of a wide range of component sizes
weighing up to 15 tonnes.
In-house
designed
cladding
workstations feature control systems
developed to suit customers’ specialised
engineering requirements, and can clad
bores up to 4m in diameter and areas of
restricted access within bores as small
as 20mm diameter.
