Latent Grover, office bridge engineer for Kansas City, argues at a University of Kansas welding conference that welding can replace riveting on hundreds of European bridges. He notes welding often costs less and is as strong in many cases, but US builders lag due to invested equipment and scarce skilled welders. He recommends pilot use on noncritical bridge sections and creating training schools to prepare specialized workers.
