On April 27, 2009, Earlbeck Technical Center was awarded accreditation as an American Welding Society (AWS) Accredited Test Facility (ATF). Through this program a welder who successfully passes a certification test receives a card from the AWS which can be taken to any employer without having to recertify.
In March 2004 the Maryland State Highway Administration (MSHA) discontinued the testing of welders at their facility and adopted a regional welder certification program in conjunction with the Federal Highway Administration's Mid-Atlantic Structural Committee for Economic Fabrication (SCEF). Welders must certify at an ATF in order to perform D1.5 Bridge Welding Code work on highway projects in the Mid-Atlantic region, including the State of Maryland.
This certification will be accepted by the following States Department of Transportation (DOT): Maryland, Delaware, Virginia, West Virginia, Washington D.C. and Pennsylvania.
Contact Earlbeck for more information or to schedule a test.
