What we weld for South Central Alaska.

  1. 01

    Structural Steel Welding

    AWS D1.1

    • Marine grade
  3. 03

    Field Repair & Mobile Welds

    24/7 dispatch

    Truck-mounted SMAW and engine-drive welding for emergency field repair — heavy-equipment cracks, structural failures, broken brackets, line shutdowns. We bring the shelter and the heat.

    • Engine-drive SMAW
    • Heated enclosures
    • Same-day mobilization
  4. 04

    Custom Shop Fabrication

    DWG to delivery

    From shop drawing to finished assembly. Stair stringers, handrails, mezzanines, custom brackets, equipment skids. CNC plasma cutting, press-brake, full-penetration welds.

    • Drawing review
    • CNC cut & form
    • Powder coat ready
  5. 05

    Pipe & Process Welding

    ASME B31.3

    Process-piping welds with full traceability. Root-pass GTAW, fill with SMAW or FCAW, post-weld documentation per ASME B31.3 for industrial and oilfield service.

    • GTAW root
    • Filler ER70S-2 / 309L
    • Documentation packet

    Cold-Weather Mobilization

    −40°F protocol

    When the project is outdoors in January and the substrate is at −27°F, we run the preheat, the shelter, the interpass control, and the documentation. Cold is not an exception. It is the default.

    • Induction preheat
    • Heated enclosure
    • Interpass logging
Not on the list? We probably still weld it.

We don’t collect reviews. We furnish references.

Most of our work is commercial, industrial, and oilfield — the kind of engagement that gets recorded on a project documentation packet, not on Google Maps. When you reach the shortlist stage on a project, we hand over a named reference list across three categories below. Every name picks up the phone.

  1. REF A

    Commercial GC

    General contractors who hired us for shop-and-field structural welds on multi-trade jobs.

  2. REF B

    Industrial Owner

    Process-piping and pressure-equipment owners who can speak to documentation quality and turnaround.

  3. REF C

    Engineer of Record

    Structural engineers who reviewed our procedure qualifications and weld records on completed work.
