Fabrication company delivers custom projects Weldfab Solutions specializes in steel, stainless steel and aluminum fabrication
Weldfab Solutions is approaching its first anniversary with a slate of custom projects under its belt and a growing reputation as a reliable local fabricator. The company, part of the Remote Marine Solutions group, designs and builds everything from ramps, gangways, gates, piling guides, boat repairs and large-scale stair systems. “Weldfab operates independently, working directly with clients across the region,” says owner Keith Wood. “At the same time, being part of the Remote Marine Solutions group allows us to collaborate seamlessly on larger marine construction projects. “We recently brought on a dedicated project manager to work between Remote Marine and Weldfab. We did this to improve coordination across the two divisions, keep projects on schedule and make sure our clients have one consistent point of contact from start to finish.” Wood notes that one of the biggest highlights has been the positive response from residents and businesses. “We’ve been proud to deliver projects that make a real difference,” he explains, pointing to safe staircases for high-bank homes, ramps for waterfront residents and repairs on aluminum boats. “Seeing our work actively used and appreciated has been incredibly rewarding.” Local industries have also welcomed the ability to source fabrication services close to home. “We’ve had strong support from construcOCEAN VIEW

tion, trades, forestry and the community at large, who appreciate that they can access custom fabrication locally instead of outsourcing to larger centres.” What distinguishes Weldfab, Wood stresses, is its breadth of services combined with its partnership with Remote Marine Solutions. The two companies pool equipment and resources — from crane trucks and landing craft to barge cranes and workboats — to take on projects of any size. “We pride ourselves on being extremely reliable and efficient, and we care deeply about the quality and durability of every project we complete.” One standout project involved building a 300-step custom staircase spanning more than 100 feet of elevation to provide a family with safe access from their high-bank property to a beachfront cabin. Weldfab used screw jacks for the footings to reduce envi-

“By fabricating locally, we’re reducing reliance on outside suppliers and keeping skilled trades and investment here at home. Every project starts with listening.
