Band Setting on the Pipeline.

If you've ever wondered what some of the other jobs we do on the pipeline are, here's a new video for you. Before the welding crew can weld the pipe, set up has to roll through, then the bending crew, the prep crew, the scriber, and then the band setter.
On all of the big inch pipeline jobs that we do, we have a mixture of stick welders with their rigs, and automatic welders in the shacks. Both play an integral roll in getting the job done safely and on time. With the automatic welding machines, they need a band to run on to stay connected to the pipe. This video explains the roll of the person who puts the bands on the pipe.

Hey man, I really enjoy your videos and shorts. I'm an industrial electrician currently and I really enjoy it but I have been looking into some other construction/industrial type jobs and I was curious if you have to have experience on the pipeline first before you can become a bandsetter or is it something you can hire straight in to? And how much is the starting pay approximately? Also is there any need for electricians in the pipeline process? Thanks!
