Custom Welding and Fabrication Services Alberta | How We Support Alberta’s Industries with Precision Fabrication
In Alberta, industry doesn’t slow down. From the oil sands of Fort McMurray to the farms of southern Alberta, the demand for reliable, custom-built solutions is constant. At Big West Machine & Welding, we’re proud to be part of the backbone that keeps these sectors moving forward.
When you’re dealing with complex systems, heavy equipment, or unique structural challenges, off-the-shelf parts and one-size-fits-all fixes just don’t cut it. That’s where custom welding and fabrication services in Alberta make all the difference—and that’s exactly where we come in.
Why Custom Fabrication Matters in Alberta
Alberta’s industries are as tough as the terrain they operate on. Equipment needs to handle harsh winters, heavy loads, and long hours. And when something breaks or doesn’t perform the way it should, it’s not just an inconvenience—it’s downtime, lost revenue, and sometimes safety on the line.
Custom welding and fabrication isn’t just about making something look good—it’s about making something last. Our clients come to us when they need components built to exact specifications, welded for strength, and fabricated for performance under pressure. Whether you need to retrofit old equipment, improve efficiency, or solve a recurring failure, Big West is built to help.
What We Offer: End-to-End Welding & Fabrication Services
Our shop is equipped with the people, equipment, and expertise to take on just about anything. With 5-ton overhead cranes, big fabrication bays, and a fully stocked inventory of welding wire and rods, we’re ready to handle projects of all sizes.
Our Welding Capabilities
We’ve built our reputation on our versatility. Our certified team is skilled in every major welding technique:
- TIG Welding (Gas Tungsten Arc Welding) – High-precision work for clean, accurate welds.
- Stick Welding (Shielded Metal Arc Welding) – Ideal for tough environments and structural applications.
- Flux Core Arc Welding – Great for high-speed, heavy-duty jobs, especially outdoors.
- Solid Wire Welding (Gas Metal Arc Welding) – Efficient and widely used in manufacturing.
- Metal Core Welding – A hybrid process that offers speed and strength in demanding projects.
Because we maintain a broad inventory of filler materials—including hard surface wire and rods for overlay applications—we can match the welding process to the application for maximum durability.
Fabrication Services
If you can imagine it, we can likely build it. From simple custom brackets and guards to complex, heavy-duty equipment frames, our fabrication shop is ready to meet your needs.
We fabricate:
- Structural steel components
- Skids and bases
- Custom enclosures
- Machinery components
- Industrial repair parts
- Reinforcements and wear parts
We also offer rebuilding and reinforcement for existing equipment. If you’ve got something that keeps failing or wearing out, let us take a look. Often, we can fabricate a stronger version that’s built to last longer in the conditions you work in.
Real Solutions for Real-World Problems
We’re not just welders—we’re problem solvers. You don’t need to come to us with a finished blueprint. Sometimes all you have is a problem, a damaged part, or a vague idea of what could work better. That’s all we need to get started.
One of the key advantages of working with Big West is our collaborative approach. Our clients aren’t just transactions—they’re partners. We’ll meet with you, look at your equipment or specs, ask the right questions, and work with you to create a practical, cost-effective solution.
And because we’re located right here in Alberta, we understand the environment you’re working in. We know the pressures of the energy sector, the wear-and-tear of heavy farming equipment, and the high standards of structural work. We use that knowledge to deliver results that go beyond expectations.
Supporting Alberta’s Key Industries
The diversity of Alberta’s economy means no two days at Big West are ever the same, and we like it that way. Our team supports a wide range of industries, including:
- Oil and gas – We fabricate and repair components for drilling equipment, pipeline supports, and structural rigs.
- Agriculture – From combine parts to custom trailer frames, we help farmers stay productive.
- Construction – We build and reinforce parts for heavy machinery, scaffolding, and structural supports.
