The company that I work for does some structural welding using a robot and
every so many pieces they put a finished part on a hydraulic press and
bend it to ensure that the weld is stronger than the part.

## Obviously this was a fubar welding job. Question is, why didn?t UST X
ray
the welds for the base ? Ok, I can see not X raying every weld on each
tower
section, but at least do the critical welds, like the base,
and where the plates are for the pulleys.
## UST should make good on this, since they like to brag about their welding
process and expertise and certified welders and QC etc.
