A&K portable welding plant can be set up at almost any location and in many configurations and has the ability to do small jobs as well as large production projects. The current configuration as pictured below in this article is for small on-site welding jobs with the least amount of equipment and manpower and has the production capability of approximately 40 welds per day. As you can see in the photos, the portable plant is actually set up in the right of way where the new railroad will be constructed. These photos show all aspects of the welding process.

The portable welding plant can also be set up in a production line where many of these same functions are automated and the continuous welded rail is loaded directly onto a rail train for delivery or direct to storage stacks for subsequent use. In this case, the projects are much larger and the production is approximately 80 welds per day.

This is just another example of A&K’s ability to provide competitive products with superior service to our customers through diversification and innovation.
