SHEET METAL WORKERS

 

Scope of Work - Fabricates and installs ducts used in heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems.  In addition, fabricates and installs other products such as metal roof decks, architectural sheet metal products, paint ovens, spray booths, dust collecting systems, and food service equipment.  Work is laid out on metal sheets from blueprints, formed, fabricated and installed on the job site.

 

Working Conditions - Sheet Metal Workers are unique due to the fact that they do a great deal of shop fabrication compared to the other construction trades.  The products to be installed begin from a flat sheet of metal.  The sheet metal worker develops the patterns from shop drawings; after the components are fabricated, they are delivered to the job site for installation.
