weld services

EBDG employs professionally licensed engineers who are also certified welding inspectors (CWI) through the American Welding Society (AWS). This combination of theoretical knowledge and practical experience is an extremely powerful resource. Our team has demonstrated excellence in both aluminum and steel structure welding.

Additionally, one of our senior engineers is a current member and past chairman of the ASTM Marine Aluminum Committee. He was instrumental in writing the ASM B928 standard for marine aluminum.
