I have a question regarding the welding of rigid ring supports.

I would like to ask how this welding structure is implemented when the rigid ring is 70 mm thick. It’s not clear if you haven’t been there. I think the groove size is large and the filling area is significant; I’m not sure how to carry out the welding. Is there anyone who understands this and can explain it?
