What hiring managers say about Advastar

  • Our piping upgrade demanded AWS-certified welders who could pass X-ray on 600-PSI systems. Advastar’s welders met the standard and we kept partial operations running the whole time.

    Grant Whitfield, Project Manager, Gulf Coast Petrochemical Facility
  • Demand for wind towers was outpacing our output. The AWS D1.1 structural welders Advastar placed let us scale production and keep up with the market.

    Lena Ostrom, Production Manager, Wind Tower Manufacturer
  • When our tanks showed stress fractures we had 72 hours to act. Advastar mobilized certified welders that fast, and the reinforcement protected water service for 200,000 residents.
