Rates vary by certification, process, and region within the state. These ranges reflect typical shop and field rates for AWS-certified welders.
These are typical market rates — not prevailing wage on public jobs. Add 25–35% for total loaded cost (payroll taxes, workers' comp, insurance, tools). Add 15–25% markup on top of loaded cost as the shop's contribution to overhead and profit.
Licensing & Certification
Indiana requires a state contractor license (Registered Contractor) for commercial welding work over $1,000. INDOT requires AISC-certified fabricators and AWS D1.5 welder qualification for bridge projects. Indiana is a prevailing wage state for public construction — Davis-Bacon rates apply on state contracts. ASME Section IX certification is required for pressure vessel work.
AWS Code Adoption
INDOT enforces AWS D1.5 for bridges and D1.1 for structural highway work. The automotive manufacturing corridor (Fort Wayne to Indianapolis to Seymour) adds AWS D8.8 resistance welding requirements for automotive assembly fixtures and tooling. Heavy industrial fabrication in the Calumet region (Gary, East Chicago) handles steel mill equipment, crane runs, and process vessel work — often requiring AWS D1.1 with supplemental NDE.
