boilermaking
Pressure vessel construction
Boilermaking is the trade of fabricating, installing, and repairing boilers, tanks, and other large metal vessels that hold liquids or gases under pressure.
The work involves cutting, shaping, and welding heavy steel plate.
A boilermaker is someone who practices this trade—historically one of the more dangerous industrial occupations due to the risks of working with pressurized containers and heavy materials.
