Apart from some people working as part of a trenching ROV, there is generally no welding carried out by the ROV crew.

Brackets and frames do break but they are either repaired by replacement, by the base or by the rig or vessel welder. As you generally have to be a coded welder having someone on the crew who can weld is normally not much of an advantage because 1) the ROV wont have a welding machine and 2) the ROV guy will not be able to stay current with his welding certification to be allowed to do it.

For most ROV systems there is a core frame in the centre and all the stuff on the outside is bolted on to make replacement easier.
