Mobile Welding in Alberta

On‑Site Welding vs. In‑Shop Welding

Mobile welding brings the welding shop directly to your site. Instead of hauling broken or oversized equipment to a facility, our welders travel to your location with everything needed to complete the job.

For companies working in Alberta’s oilfield, agriculture, construction, forestry, and other heavy industries, this is critical. Equipment often fails in the field, at remote sites, or in the middle of a project where downtime is expensive and logistics are difficult.

With mobile welding in Alberta, Big West can:

• Perform structural and equipment repairs on location
• Complete new fabrication and modifications in the field
• Work in conditions where moving the asset is impractical or impossible

You get the same level of quality you expect from a fully equipped welding shop—without leaving the worksite.

Industries We Serve

Our Drayton Valley‑based mobile welding crews support a wide range of Alberta industries, including:

• Oil and gas (facilities, pipelines, structural steel, process equipment)
• Mining and resource extraction
• Logging and forestry operations
• Agriculture and ranching (implements, frames, bins, conveyors, etc.)
• Construction and infrastructure projects
• Transportation, trucking, and heavy haul fleets

If your operation depends on steel, aluminum, or other metal components, mobile welding in Alberta helps you keep assets in service and projects on schedule.

CWB‑Certified Mobile Welders

Our mobile welding team consists of certified tradespeople with CWB (Canadian Welding Bureau) qualifications. That means your welds are performed in accordance with recognized standards for:

• Structural integrity
• Weld procedure compliance
• Material compatibility and strength

When a weld failure could lead to unplanned shutdowns, safety incidents, or costly rework, having CWB‑certified welders on site is essential.

Fully Equipped Mobile Welding Trucks

Big West operates two fully equipped mobile welding trucks dedicated to serving clients throughout Alberta. Each unit is set up as a rolling weld shop, including:

• Industrial‑grade welding machines and generators
• Cutting and gouging equipment
• Mobile fabrication tools (grinders, saws, torches, etc.)
• PPE and safety equipment
• Wire, rods, and consumables for multiple materials and processes

This allows us to complete everything from small repairs to complex field projects without repeated trips back to the shop. When you book mobile welding in Alberta with Big West, you’re getting a fully capable field crew, not just a welder with a pickup.

Safety, Compliance, and Documentation

Field work adds complexity: weather, site hazards, limited access, and simultaneous operations. Our mobile welding crews are trained to work safely under these conditions and in compliance with:

• Site‑specific safety requirements
• Industry regulations and standards
• Client permitting and sign‑off processes

We can also provide documentation of completed welds, procedures followed, and any inspection requirements, giving you traceability and peace of mind.

Equipment & Heavy Machinery Repairs

Downtime on critical equipment can cost thousands per hour. Our mobile welding in Alberta is designed to get you back up and running quickly by repairing:

• Excavators, loaders, dozers, graders, and other heavy equipment
• Buckets, blades, booms, and frames
• Trailers, decks, and transport equipment
• Pumpjacks, gearboxes, and rotating equipment components
• Agricultural implements and attachments

We assess the damage, recommend a repair method, and perform high‑quality welds intended to stand up to real‑world loads and conditions.

Structural & Field Fabrication

Beyond repairs, our mobile welders can complete on‑site fabrication, including:

• Structural supports and reinforcing members
• Platforms, handrails, and access structures
• Custom brackets, mounts, and frames
• Pipe supports and process skids

If it’s easier and more efficient to build or modify it in place, our
mobile welding in Alberta team can bring the fabrication capabilities to you.

Oilfield, Agriculture, Forestry & Construction Work

From well sites to logging roads and farmyards, Alberta operations often run far from urban centers.
Our mobile units are set up for:

• Oilfield maintenance and repairs
• Rig and plant support work
• Forestry equipment welding and reinforcing
• Farm and ranch repairs on implements, corrals, and structures
• Construction site welding on temporary or permanent installations

Wherever your work is, we aim to meet you there with reliable, certified
mobile welding in Alberta.

Reduce Downtime and Transport Costs

Hauling equipment to a shop isn’t always realistic. It can require special permits, extra labour, and full days off the job. With mobile welding in Alberta, you can:

• Avoid transportation costs and logistics
• Keep equipment closer to the job site
• Complete repairs faster, reducing downtime

Our Drayton Valley mobile welding crews are strategically positioned to respond quickly and keep your operation productive.

Shop‑Quality Work in the Field

Field conditions don’t mean you have to compromise on quality. Our mobile welding trucks carry the same level of equipment and consumables you’d expect in a dedicated facility. We work with:

• Aluminum
• Stainless steel
• Carbon steel

We maintain an extensive inventory of wire and rods, ensuring welds are compatible with your materials and meet the desired strength and performance.

Flexible 24/7 Response

Breakdowns don’t wait for business hours. While our shop runs on a regular schedule, we provide 24/7 on‑call service for urgent work across Alberta. When your business is on the line, our mobile welding in Alberta is available to help:

• After hours
• On weekends
• During shutdowns and turnarounds
