New Overhead Crane

These past few weeks have been unsettling for all of us. The C-virus continues to be top of mind as we practice physical distancing and try to keep our families healthy and safe.

Hopefully life will be restored soon and all our projects that have been relegated to the back burner will be revitalized again.

The Welding Shop Calgary has been hard at work in the shop getting our overhead crane or a bridge crane up and running.

With the new crane in place we can make sure we take care of all your specific welding needs. We will ensure your project runs smoothly from start to finish.

Call the experts at 403-273-7717 to learn more about our services or if you have questions you’d like answered.

We hope everyone’s doing okay. Stay safe. Stay healthy. Stay strong.

Time Tested

Over 45 years our business has been focused on offering welding, complete custom metal fabrication from concept, design and drafting to fabrication and finishing.

You might say we had seen it all but every week there is always a surprise. We have produced work from repairing aluminum truck rims to huge skids for the oil industry, a giant cross for a local school and now with our plasma welder our art department is working overtime.

Our new bridge crane brings the number of cranes to two and gives us the ability to expand the size and scope of our larger projects and we are ready for your next big project.

For more information on how we can accommodate your welding needs during this extraordinary time give us a call or email and talk to an expert.

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.
