Customer asked me to come and weld one flange in an underground pump house upgrade several weeks ago. Over the last weeks been back numerous times and I have maybe 50 hours here. Nothing fits as engineered. Making it up as we go. Hopefully finished up last night. 6" flange with no room btwn wall. Made sure I welded the inside real good and did best I could on outside. I can't mirror weld.



The black flange is what I welded on. Then once they piped it I had to cut off most of the pipe supports and make new ones plus three pump mounts. All welded to floors and walls of metal bunker. Last thing was fit and weld two of the pump outlet connections. Had to be fit in place and tacked because nothing is square, or inline. Ran out of time yesterday as we were limited to being in there from 7:30 until 3:00pm. Brought them back to shop to weld out.
