Maryland Bridge Welder Certification

In March 2004, the Maryland State Highway Administration (MDOT SHA) 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 AWS Accredited Test Facility (ATF), in order to perform D1.5 Bridge Welding Code work on highway projects in the Mid-Atlantic region, including the State of Maryland. Welders needing certification for bridge welding must contact an ATF center and request to be tested in accordance with D1.5 Bridge Welding. This certification will be accepted by the following States Department of Transportation (DOT): Maryland, Delaware, Virginia, West Virginia, Washington D.C. and Pennsylvania. 
​
Earlbeck Gases & Technologies is Maryland's first ATF center, and can test you in accordance with the bridge welder certification requirements.
