At Sparks Welding, we are known for reactive welding repairs and our ability to repair ‘almost’ anything made from steel, aluminium or stainless steel. We received a call regarding a split chassis on a drinking water tanker for ‘Tough Mudder’ sporting challenge. The vehicle had to be ready for action the following weekend to make sure that all athletes had drinking water on site.

The trailer was recovered to us, taken into our workshop and stripped to access the damaged area. Our guys carefully cleaned off old plates and welds leaving a nice split in the chassis to make good! First off we had to weld all the way around the chassis filling the crack, then our CNC Plasma cutter was snapped into action to cut some 12mm thick steel plates to fit to the chassis and be used for strengthening. Once the plates were cut and cleaned they were positioned over the already welded crack and fully welded around.

All uncovered steel was then painted in our gray zinc primer and a cold galv spray preventing any rust getting through. The trailer was put back together and taken from us the following morning with one happy customer!
