A welding shop is only as strong as the welders behind the work. At The Welding Shop Calgary, experienced and certified welders ensure every project meets high standards for strength, safety, and durability.
Competent welders understand how to properly work with materials like steel, aluminum, and stainless steel, producing clean, reliable welds that stand the test of time. Quality workmanship reduces the risk of failure, costly repairs, and safety concerns.
With CWB-certified welders, The Welding Shop Calgary delivers precision and consistency across custom fabrication, structural steel, and repair projects. Skilled welders don’t just join metal, they build confidence in the final result.

Exciting progress is happening at the Calgary Zoo! The new leopard enclosure is in its final stages, and the structural steel roof posts that will support the tent-like cover are almost complete.
These posts and their footers are receiving their final coat of powder coating, ensuring durability, corrosion resistance, and a long-lasting finish before being delivered and installed at the zoo. Once in place, they’ll provide both safety and stability for years to come.
Fabricated with precision by The Welding Shop Calgary, these steel supports showcase the combination of strength, quality, and craftsmanship that keeps Calgary’s iconic projects standing tall.

The new snow leopard enclosure at the Calgary Zoo is taking shape, and one of its most important features is something most visitors will never see up close: the massive structural steel posts that support the tent-style roofing element. These custom-built posts form the backbone of the entire design, providing the strength needed to hold up overhead coverings and withstand Calgary’s challenging weather.
Built for durability and long-term performance, the steel framework allows the zoo to create a safe, natural, and enriching habitat for the snow leopards while giving visitors clear, immersive views. As redevelopment progresses, these posts quietly play one of the most important roles, ensuring the enclosure stands strong for years to come.

The team at The Welding Shop Calgary is thrilled to be building the structural steel framework for the brand-new Snow Leopard enclosure.
The Calgary Zoo is known for its incredible wildlife habitats and dedication to conservation, and this new space will provide the snow leopards with a safe, enriching environment to explore and thrive. Our crew is proud to play a part, designing, fabricating, and installing the strong steel structure that supports it all.
It’s always rewarding to know our work helps create spaces where both people and animals can connect and learn. We can’t wait to see these beautiful cats settle into their new home!

Building enclosures that are both safe and durable for animal residents needs precision craftsmanship. That’s why The Welding Shop Calgary has stepped up to supply large structural steel posts and beams for a new animal enclosure at the Wilder Institute/Calgary Zoo.
From concept to completion, The Welding Shop Calgary offers full custom metal-fabrication services, from design and drafting to finishing. For this project, those capabilities matter: the steel framework for a major animal habitat has to be robust, precise, and built to last.
The Zoo’s mission is education, conservation and animal welfare, with more than 4,000 animals representing over 100 species. The new enclosure will benefit the animals and the visitors alike: clean, strong structures allow for safer viewing, better animal flow, and more immersive habitat design.
Visitors can look forward to seeing this new habitat in the coming months — and when they do, they’ll be looking at the kind of behind‐the‐scenes steel work that doesn’t just hold up beams, but holds up experiences.

Industrial welding isn’t always about massive steel I-beams or large structural frameworks. At The Welding Shop Calgary, we know that some of the most critical work happens on the smaller components, the ones that quietly hold everything together.
Take these heavy-duty metal clamps, for example. They’re designed to contain and secure oil field piping joints under intense pressure. While they might not look as impressive as a towering steel frame, their precision and strength are essential for keeping entire systems running safely and efficiently.
Each curve, cut, and weld must be done with care and accuracy to ensure a perfect fit and long-lasting durability. That’s the kind of detail The Welding Shop Calgary takes pride in, because even the smallest weld can make a big difference in the strength of the whole structure.

Simple steel frames might not seem like much. But in reality, it’s often the key to keeping spaces organized and safe. Whether it’s for garbage, recycling, or donation bins, steel framing is what keeps everything in place.
Without a frame, bins can tip, shift, or scatter in Calgary’s unpredictable weather. With a strong steel structure built by The Welding Shop Calgary, everything stays secure and contained. These frames keep bins aligned, reduce litter, and make collection easier and more efficient.
From schools and parks to donation centers and public spaces, the versatility of custom steel frames makes them a smart, cost-effective solution. Durable, practical, and built to last, they help create cleaner, more organized environments across the city.
