Best Practices to Prevent the Coronavirus from Spreading

Surely, you’ve heard all about the Coronavirus by now. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is continuously releasing updated information a far as what the best practices are to keep the virus from spreading. Governors across the country are mandating closures of businesses to limit the spread as much as possible. This is quite a unique experience that many have never seen before. The best path forward is to follow all the instructions from the CDC and local government. Keep in mind that they are working for us and with us to help life go back to normal as quickly as possible. In this blog, we’re going to highlight the most up-to-date tips for combatting this virus:

Social Distancing. The CDC recommends that everyone social distance. This means to avoid congregating in large groups. The size of group has changed multiple times, and currently it’s considered unacceptable to meet in a room with a group of 10 or more people. Therefore, many who can are working from home. We would agree and recommend that if you and your team are able, that you work from home.

Stay healthy by washing your hands
Washing your hands is one of the best ways to remain healthy. 


If You’re Sick, Stay Home. If you are sick, you need to self-quarantine and only leave the house for medical treatments. Make sure to call your doctor before heading to the office or the hospital. You want to know that your doctor is available and can see you. Also, he or she could have advice that you can try at home before visiting.

Eliminate Unnecessary Travel. If you have a trip planned for spring break, that would be considered unnecessary. While traveling is fun, and we all love it, what’s most important right now is everyone’s health. If we all decide to follow the CDC’s instructions and stay home (if possible depending upon work situations), we can flatten the curve as they say.

Wash Your Hands. The CDC explains that you must wash your hands with soap and water for a minimum of 20 seconds. Make sure you wash thoroughly, every finger and underneath your fingernails. Also, you can use hand sanitizer that contains 60% alcohol, and be sure that you cover all areas of your hands.

Basic Welding Joints

Welded joints are one of the most commonly seen joints although there is much more that goes into them than most realize. A Weld Joint is characterized by being the place where two or more metal pieces are joined together through the introduction of melted solder and high heat. There are 5 types of weld joints, corner, lap, tee, edge, and butt. Each one has it's own unique qualities and the best places to implement.  The butt joint is formed by placing the ends of two parts together. The two parts either lie on the same plane or are side by side. It is the most simple type of weld joint. There are a few different types of welds involved with a good butt joint. Next, let's focus a little on the corner joint. The corner joint is another pretty basic option for beginners and looks exactly how it sounds. This joint is identified by the two welded pieces being joined together in the shape of an L. It is important to remember to weld both the front and back of the L shape for struc...

Steel Tubing's Influence on Construction

 As we've covered before, there are thousands of applications for steel tubing products in just about every corner of the world and in a huge amount of different industries. One of those industries is in the construction of new buildings, far and wide, for a ton of different uses, like apartments, office space or governmental decision-making. Most of these buildings will likely be built with the help of scaffolding which is made with an array of steel tubing parts. Let's take a look at why scaffolding is so important and how steel tubing is an important part of the construction industry as we know it!  Safety: Scaffolding is important for ensuring the safety of the workers that are contracted to construct a new building. These structures help create a flat surface for workers to stand on while they work and also allow more than one person at a time to be working in a similar area or site. The creation of handrails on the top platforms for scaffolding also helps ensure worker s...
