Equipment:

As part of its commitment to meeting customer needs, Carson Welding and Maintenance has developed an extensive inventory of over 750 vehicles and specialized equipment. By doing so, Carson Welding serves as a "one stop" supplier of construction, safety, and environmental apparatus. The company has set itself as a leader in recognizing and meeting specialized equipment needs. For instance, Carson Welding owned the first hydro-vac truck in the Southeast, and set up the first GPS base station in the area.

Other examples include the purchase of a 20" CRC Bending Machine for pipeline work and the acquisition of a computer guided boring machine. As client needs change with time, Carson Welding continues to update and expand its inventory.

Preventive Maintenance:

Carson Welding and Maintenance has implemented a computerized Preventative Maintenance Program to ensure that all of the vehicles and equipment used by employees are in proper and safe operating condition.

The program requires users to produce daily equipment condition reports to the supervisors, who review them, to the P.M. Coordinator, who manages the mechanics, partsmen and field activity. The information is then placed on a database, which provides management with information on maintenance requirements and costs, as well as for Occupational Health inquiries.
