Vocational, welding & woodworking

Education shops differ in one important way: the people using the system change every semester, and nobody on staff is a ventilation specialist. Anything that depends on the operator knowing what they are doing will fail.

A row of welding booths in a training facility, each with an articulated source-capture fume arm dropping from an overhead duct run.

What we design for

  • Weld fume at student stations where capture cannot rely on technique
  • Wood dust and chip volume from saws, planers and sanders
  • Systems that have to be safe and forgiving around inexperienced users
  • Budget cycles that make replacement a once-in-a-decade event

How we approach it

We design for the least experienced person in the room — capture that works without being adjusted, controls that are obvious, and maintenance a facilities team can actually perform. And because a school buys this once, we build it to last the twenty years they are counting on.

Every system is sized to your process rather than pulled from a catalog. We supply the collector, fabricate the ductwork and hoods in our own shop, and handle the mechanical install in-house — one crew from drawing to start-up.
