Note: Add 15-25% contingency for rework, fit-up delays, weather, and other interruptions. Operating factor varies significantly by access difficulty and position.

Reference

Total Hours = Weld Metal / (Depo Rate x Operating Factor) Hours per Welder = Total Hours / Number of Welders Work Days = Hours per Welder / Shift Length Lb per Shift = Effective Depo Rate x Shift Hours
