Following a request from Burgess Marine for diver-welder training and qualifications, Speciality Welds despatched its resident welding engineer and senior welding examiner to Dover.

The training, which involved the diving team to be competent in both vertical and overhead welding techniques, was for an MoD project, so standards, as might be expected, were high.

Following a week of training and instruction, all divers were tested and qualified to National Standards using Speciality Welds' Barracuda Gold welding electrodes.

The divers also reported that the Speciality Welds' new auto-darkening welding lens was of great benefit.
