Steel Fabrication & Welding
Structural Integrity Solutions
Wasea Metal Industries, established in 1979, is a premier provider of heavy steel fabrication and welding services for the industrial, energy, and resource sectors in Western Canada. Our service is a comprehensive, engineered structural fabrication solution, specializing in large, complex components and modularization.
CWB Certification and Quality Assurance
Wasea’s core commitment to quality is anchored by its CWB (Canadian Welding Bureau) certified weld shop. This certification is a mandatory foundational requirement for structural welding in Canada, guaranteeing adherence to the highest industry standards, including those codified in CSA standards.
Risk Mitigation
Utilizing a CWB-certified fabricator is a critical strategic decision that mitigates project risk, ensuring adherence to national and provincial building codes and providing a guarantee of structural longevity.
Global Alignment
Beyond CWB, Wasea’s strict internal quality control system and technical fluency allow alignment with global codes, such as AWS D1.1 (Structural Welding—Steel) and principles from ASME standards (for integration with pressure systems).
Core Fabrication Products and Expertise
We specialize in fabricating components essential for heavy industry, leveraging a large-scale capacity to handle projects up to 100 ft long.
Structural Steel Skids: A central specialty is the welding and assembly of heavy-duty structural steel skids. These are the foundations for industrial modularization, supporting critical process equipment like compressor stations and metering facilities for efficient, remote deployment.
Access Components: We manufacture essential access infrastructure, including platforms, stairs, and handrails, integral to facility safety and compliance.
Specialized Enclosures: Fabrication includes heavy-gauge structures like Genset enclosures and Sea-can modifications, designed to meet specific performance criteria such as fire ratings, acoustical requirements, and hurricane ratings.
Rigid Frame Structures: Our division supports Wasea’s core business of manufacturing durable, large-span rigid frame steel buildings.
Advanced Techniques and Full-Scope Service
Our technical capability is supported by multi-material expertise and integrated project logistics:
Material Versatility: We work proficiently with structural mild steel (carbon steel), stainless steel, and aluminum, allowing for complex, hybrid projects.
Precision Technology: Investment in advanced technology, such as the Bodor C Series fiber laser cutting machine, ensures extreme accuracy in material preparation (fit-up), which minimizes fit-up errors, maximizes weld strength, and improves cost-effectiveness.
Full Lifecycle Support: Wasea offers both controlled shop fabrication and on-site welding for installation, tie-ins, and field maintenance. This is complemented by dedicated repair and maintenance work, providing a single point of certified accountability for asset integrity.
Design Partnership: We offer integrated engineering support and value engineering to optimize structural design, ensuring custom metal work meets specifications while benefiting from our deep structural knowledge.
