Tristan Avery

I'm welding all processes, mainly all steel work, as well as stainless steel and all aluminum. I fabricate and weld out any job given to me from start to finish. I do structural work, repairs, and complete new designs. Some companies we work for include Carter Cat, James River Steel, AGI, CSX, Morooka, Unadyn and HDT. Some items I've built include pipelines, fuel tanks, hydraulic oil tanks, Miscellaneous brackets, and an assortment of frames of all types for different customers through the shop.
