metting number 2

On Sunday March 2nd we made our way down to Critchfield Mechanical Inc., 1901 junction avenue San José 95131. We took a tour of the facilities. We went into the office first where the engineers designed the systems, the detailer's detailed the systems, the shop foreman watches over the shop and the sheet metal mechanic inputs the computer to send to the water jet plasma cutter. We then entered the shop where I was shown the piping and sheet metal departments. The piping department has large cranes to positions the pipe for loading and spherical welding. Then we walk through the shop to the warehouse where all the material delivery trucks are staged. These trucks are used for delivery for sheet metal, piping, tools and material need. After that we walked back to the sheet metal fabrication shop. We observed a press brake in action that bends metal to fabricate duct work. then we walked over to the shear machine which cuts metal for duct fabrication. After that we observed the plasma machine burning metal that had been downloaded from the sheet metal mechanic to fabricate duct work for HVAC systems.
