CC Welding — Custom Fabrication & Certified Welding

Certified Welding · Custom Fabrication · Portable Services · AI Design Platform

25+ years of certified metal fabrication in Reno, Nevada. From structural steel to artistic metalwork — if it's metal, Craig Caddy builds it. Now with AI-powered design inquiries and KERR MARKETPLACE integration.

Craig Caddy — Owner & Master Welder

Craig Caddy founded CC Welding with one philosophy: do it right the first time. With over 25 years of hands-on welding experience, 14 years in the Iron Workers Union, and 4 years working in certified welding shops, Craig brings industrial-grade precision to every job — from massive structural beams to detailed custom fabrication.

The CC Welding Story

Based at 8345 Wise Ave in Reno, NV, CC Welding Inc. has been in continuous operation since 1997 — nearly 30 years of craftsmanship, reliability, and innovation. Craig's portable rig goes wherever the job is: onsite welding, emergency repairs, pipe cutting, and beveling across Reno and beyond.

The KERR Connection

Errol Kerr worked alongside Craig at CC Welding for years, learning fabrication and construction from one of the best in the business. This partnership brings CC Welding's proven expertise directly into the KERR MARKETPLACE ecosystem, combining traditional craftsmanship with modern AI-powered design and ordering workflows.

Fully Licensed, Insured & OSHA/MSHA Compliant

CC Welding operates under the strictest safety standards in the industry. Every job, every site, every weld — fully compliant.

OSHA Certified
Occupational Safety and Health Administration certified. All work meets federal workplace safety standards for construction and general industry. Hazard communication, fall protection, scaffolding, and confined space entry protocols strictly followed.
MSHA Certified
Mine Safety and Health Administration certified. Qualified for mining site work — surface and underground operations. Part 46 and Part 48 trained for hazardous mining environments, pit operations, aggregate plants, and mineral processing facilities.

Multi-Process Certified — Every Position, Every Joint

Craig Caddy holds active certifications across all major welding processes. From structural steel to pipe, rebar to precision fabrication — CC Welding is tested and proven.

FCAW-S (Flux Core Self-Shielded)
FCAW-S 232 .072
Self-shielded flux core — the go-to for outdoor structural work, heavy equipment repair, and field welding where gas shielding isn't practical. No external gas needed. Ideal for wind, rain, and remote jobsite conditions.
Pipe Welding
6-G Pipe E71T-8
6G is the most difficult pipe position — fixed 45-degree incline. Passing this certifies you for ALL pipe positions (1G through 6G). E71T-8 wire for self-shielded structural pipe welding. The gold standard in pipe certification.
FCAW Low-Hydrogen
E71T-9-H8
Low-hydrogen designation (H8) — critical for structural steel connections where hydrogen cracking must be prevented. Used in seismic zones, high-stress connections, and code-critical joints. Meets AWS D1.1 structural code.
Stick Welding (SMAW)
SMAW E-7018
The "7018" — the most trusted structural stick electrode in the world. Low-hydrogen, all-position, 70,000 PSI tensile strength. Every iron worker's bread and butter. Used in bridges, buildings, and critical structural connections.
Joint Penetration
JP-1F-PLUG
Joint penetration plug weld certification in flat position. Plug welds fill holes in overlapping plates — critical for connecting steel decking, shear connections, and composite floor systems in commercial construction.
Joint Penetration
JP-3G-4G
Full joint penetration in vertical (3G) and overhead (4G) positions. The hardest positions to weld — fighting gravity while maintaining perfect fusion. Required for moment connections and critical structural joints.
Rebar Welding
REBAR 1G-3G
Reinforcing steel bar welding in flat (1G) through vertical (3G). Used in foundations, retaining walls, concrete structures, bridges, and any application where rebar splices must meet ACI/AWS D1.4 structural standards.
MIG (GMAW)
ER70S-6 .035 Mild Steel
Gas metal arc welding with ER70S-6 wire — the industry standard for shop fabrication. Clean welds, high deposition rates, excellent for custom projects, staircases, gates, furniture, and precision metalwork. CO2/Argon shielded.
FCAW-G (Gas Shielded)
E71T-9-H8 .045 71A75 Dual
Gas-shielded flux core with 71A75 dual-shield wire. Combines the deep penetration of flux core with the clean finish of gas shielding. Perfect for heavy structural, multi-pass welds, and high-strength connections.
