Can't the channel be "skip-welded" - i.e., perform intermittent welding on the first pass and then fill in the welds in the second pass for an effective continuous weld?

Sanjay,
Most of our structures are for exposed heavy industrial applications and therefore most of our crane girder/channel welds are continuous for corrosion concerns. It should not be that big of a problem. Since your crane girder may be involve fatigue considerations the continuous weld may be a better option anyway.

Fabricator is insisting in providing intermittent fillet weld in Crane girder (I-beam with channel top).
I have seen continuous weld not a problem contrary to fabricator who is advocating that continuous weld will leave warped channel surface.
Please advice / share your experience.
Channel web thickness is .4 inch and recommended continuous weld is ¼.
