Did you know?

  • Generally, steamfitters work in construction, manufacturing and industrial environments that have elaborate pipe systems, but their work requires delicate motor skills. Why? Because they are working with high pressure liquids and gasses, which can be harmful if not safely installed and maintained.
  • Systems in data centers and research labs depend on steamfitters. If a secure facility is not properly heated and cooled, the technology can be compromised or even destroyed.
  • Steamfitters have a super power: they control energy! They understand how mechanical systems use and disperse heat sources.
  • It’s a lot more than just comfort: all over the world, people live in harsh conditions. Without proper heating and cooling, the lack of proper heating and cooling can cause an increased risk of illness or death.
