Experience, ability, and reliability

Skilled work, dependable service, and the follow-through customers count on.

Experience & Dedication

TWS is built on experience and dedication. Customers count on TWS because the team shows up, communicates clearly, and completes the work the right way.


Reliability is one of the strongest differences between TWS and the competition. The team understands that delays, downtime, and incomplete work cost customers time and money. That is why every job is approached with practical planning, skilled workmanship, and a commitment to getting it done correctly.

Industrial-sized Facility

TWS has a large shop and industrial-size facility capacity for larger welding, fabrication, repair, tank, trailer, and equipment projects. The facility is designed to support oversized jobs that require space, equipment, and experience.

In addition to shop services, TWS operates six mobile welding service trucks for field service and emergency service repairs. This allows the team to support customers both at the facility and on-site when repairs or service are needed in the field.
