Barry "Bear" and Brett Dunn of AGRA Foundations discovered what a difference more user-friendly wire can make. With their company responsible for running all the welding specs on California's San Rafael-Richmond bridge project, Dunn's first challenge was to certify welders for the job.

Using Coreshield 8, AGRA was able to quickly certify 14 welders for the job. The Coreshield wire's certification for seismic applications was also crucial for this project, which involved retrofits on a bridge across San Francisco Bay in order to bring it up to FEMA specs.

"We replaced another brand wire we had been using with Coreshield 8 and we are extremely pleased with the results. We found ESAB wire made it easier for welders to achieve the desired results. Nearly everything used on the project comes from ESAB." - "Bear" and Brett Dunn, AGRA Foundations
