ENGINEERING & PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Engineering That Builds, Not Just Designs
At Wabash Welding Services, engineering is not a handoff — it’s the foundation of how we execute work. Every project starts with a clear, buildable design that accounts for fabrication, installation, and long-term service before any metal is cut.
Our engineering team works directly with fabrication and field crews to ensure designs are manufacturable, installable, and efficient, reducing revisions, delays, and unexpected costs
Design With the End in Mind
We use advanced 3D CAD and CAM tools to model complete solutions and resolve issues early — when changes are inexpensive and schedules are flexible.
This approach allows us to:
- Identify fit-up and access issues before fabrication
- Optimize material usage and part geometry
- Reduce rework and field modifications
- Improve installation speed and safety
Engineering decisions are made with real shop and field experience, not theory.
Integrated Project Management
Engineering and project management at Wabash Welding Services are tightly integrated. Our project leads coordinate design, fabrication, finishing, and installation to keep work moving smoothly through each phase.
This alignment ensures:
- Clear scope and expectations from the start
- Fewer handoffs and communication gaps
- Faster turnaround with fewer surprises
- One accountable team throughout the project.
CAD & CAM Capabilities
Our engineering department supports a wide range of customer requirements and file formats, allowing seamless collaboration with internal teams and external partners.
CAD Software
- Autodesk Inventor Professional
- Autodesk AutoCAD
- SolidWorks
CAM Software
- Hypertherm ProNest
- Hypnest
- Cypnest
- Hypertherm Design2Fab
These tools allow us to move efficiently from design to production while maintaining accuracy and repeatability
Built for Fabrication. Proven in the Field.
Because we design, build, and install our own work, our engineering team remains accountable beyond the screen. Designs are validated on the shop floor and in the field, ensuring what’s engineered on paper performs in real-world conditions.
That accountability is what allows us to deliver reliable results — not just drawings.
Engineering That Supports the Entire Lifecycle
Whether supporting a single custom project or ongoing production work, our engineering process is designed to support:
- Fabrication efficiency
- Installation success
- Long-term serviceability
We don’t engineer parts in isolation — we engineer complete solutions.
Why This Matters
Engineering effort, schedule, and cost vary significantly depending on the level of information provided at the start of a project. By clearly defining these paths, we help our customers:
- Choose the right level of support
- Understand cost and schedule tradeoffs early
- Avoid delays and rework
- Move projects forward with confidence
Our Engineering Philosophy
At Wabash Welding Services, engineering exists to support execution.
We focus on:
- Design-for-manufacturing
- Design-for-installation
- Practical, buildable solutions
We do not operate as a standalone design firm. Our engineering services are intentionally tied to fabrication and installation to ensure accountability and real-world performance.
