A CWB Welding Engineer sits above a Welding Inspector or Certified Welder - it is the highest credential in the Canadian welding profession. Every project we deliver is managed, reviewed, and accountable to an engineer, not simply inspected after the fact. Weld procedure development, code compliance, and engineering sign-off are built into your crew rates for pre-qualified joints. For structural, pressure, or certified applications, this eliminates the need for a third-party welding engineer - a cost clients with other contractors must bear separately.

LiDAR Scanning - Packages
Construction Field Layout - Robotic Total Station
Our robotic total station and 3D scanner run on the same field software and share a common coordinate system. Existing conditions can be scanned and new work laid out in a single mobilization, with scan data feeding directly into layout without re-registration - eliminating the return visit, re-georeferencing, and separate subcontractor coordination that other approaches require.
Precision stakeout of anchor bolts, embed plates, and column base locations direct from structural BIM or CAD. Sub-mm accuracy. Digital as-staked record and layout report on completion.
Scan existing steel connections before shop fabrication so pieces fit the first time. As-built geometry fed directly to Tekla or fabricator DWG, eliminating the on-site trim-and-fit cycle.
Field layout of pipe hangers, duct supports, conduit paths, and equipment pads staked direct from coordinated BIM. Reduces clash-driven rework before trades commit to position.
Real-time verification of columns, frames, and walls during erection. Instrument self-calibrates on site. Results fed back to the BIM as erection progresses.
