Summary
A job that manufactures metal lath (wire mesh) used in construction and civil engineering projects by cutting, assembling, punching, and welding.
Description
Lath fabricators produce metal lath (wire mesh) used in construction and civil engineering projects. They handle a series of manufacturing processes including cutting raw wire, assembling mesh, forming by punching and welding, surface treatment, and inspection. Precision measurement using calipers or micrometers, quality control, and adherence to safety and health standards are essential. They perform efficient work on production lines, maintain machinery, propose improvements, and ensure stable quality and production volume.
