Stay Healthy & Help Prevent the Spread of COVID-19

We’re definitely living in extraordinary and unprecedented times right now with the recent outbreak of the coronavirus. While it is a confusing and surreal time, it is vitally important to follow the recommended health guidelines.

It’s essential that individually and collectively we each do our part to limit social interaction to help slow, and ultimately minimize, the spread of this virus. We truly are all in this together and responsible for each other’s well-being, so stay calm, stay safe, stay healthy.

The Welding Shop Calgary would like to share our plan to continue service while we all work through this difficult time.

Welding a Giant Oil Field Skid

Giant skids are used in construction to create a platform area that can contain heavy equipment. These platforms give workers and equipment space to store heavy equipment for use in management and repair of large construction projects like oil rigs and heavy steal buildings.

Welding massive I beams can be a daunting task but making sure the end product is safe for use in the field is priority one.

The Welding Shop Calgary specializes in these huge platforms and can build skids of any size and dimension.

How to Weld a Crane

Crane Welding One 0 One

Our shop was in need of another big crane to move large steel and I beams. One of the benefits of having a welding shop is that when you need something welded, you do it yourself.

An overhead crane or a bridge cranes are found in most large industrial environments and this one is just in the first steps of instillation.

These cranes have a rich history in the manufacturing process and ship yards going back to the eighteen hundreds and are a staple of heavy lifting for industrial uses today.

We painted our new crane yellow and it will soon take it’s place with it’s sister in the ceiling where we will put it to good use.

Need an overhead crane for your industrial complex. Give us a call for more information.

Welding a Glass Courier

Transporting sheets of glass is a precarious and sometimes shattering experience. It needs a specific structure to hold it fast to the vehicle that is transporting it. Not only does the structure of the rigging have to absorb the bumps and turns required to make it across town without breaking its package but it also has to be strong enough to not flex with wind factors and cornering G forces.

The Welding Shop Calgary created this aluminum rigging or carriage, to defy the onslaught of the forces of nature and the man made perils of city streets to get its cargo safely to it’s destination.

Welding a Gantry

What is a Gantry

A gantry, according to the web, is a bridge-like overhead structure with a platform supporting equipment such as a crane, railroad signals, lights, or cameras. You may also have this word indelibly etched in your mind from the glorious days of rockets and NASA and going to the moon when every astronaut had to walk a gantry to get into the command module before blasting off.

At the Welding Shop Calgary we have never made a gantry for NASA but we have made enough industrial use gantry’s for everything from oil field rig applications to high rise widow washer platforms. No matter what your gantry use, bring us your plans and we can make a secure stable platform, or gantry, to meet any bridging need.
