Building a Home for Snow Leopards at Calgary Zoo

Exciting things are taking shape at the Calgary Zoo’s new Asian Highlands exhibit, where visitors will soon have the opportunity to experience the beauty of snow leopards in a thoughtfully designed habitat inspired by their natural mountain environment.

Behind every great enclosure is a strong foundation, and that’s where The Welding Shop Calgary played an important role. Our team was proud to fabricate and install the structural steel infrastructure that helps define the enclosure and supports the roofing systems throughout the project. The steel framework provides the strength and durability needed to withstand Alberta’s demanding weather conditions while helping create a safe and secure environment for both animals and visitors.

Projects like the Asian Highlands exhibit showcase how structural steel becomes the backbone of innovative construction. Every beam, column, and connection was carefully engineered and installed to support the vision of creating an immersive habitat that reflects the rugged terrain snow leopards call home.

The Welding Shop Calgary is honored to contribute to projects that bring lasting value to our community. Seeing our work become part of a world-class exhibit that will educate and inspire visitors for years to come makes this project especially rewarding.

We look forward to visiting the completed exhibit and seeing the snow leopards enjoy their new home.

New Outdoor Crane

At The Welding Shop Calgary, big projects demand even bigger solutions, and that’s exactly what went into building their new giant outdoor crane.

Structural steel beams played a critical role in bringing this impressive piece of equipment to life. Designed for strength, stability, and long-term durability, these heavy-duty beams form the backbone of the crane’s support system. From handling massive loads to withstanding the harsh Alberta climate, every beam was carefully selected and expertly installed to ensure peak performance.

This project highlights the versatility and reliability of structural steel in large-scale fabrication. Whether it’s supporting overhead lifting systems or forming the framework of industrial equipment, structural steel remains the gold standard for strength and precision.

The result? A powerful new outdoor crane that expands lifting capabilities, improves efficiency, and reinforces The Welding Shop Calgary’s commitment to high-quality craftsmanship and innovation in metalwork.

When it comes to building with steel, it’s not just about fabrication, it’s about creating infrastructure that works as hard as you do.

Upgrading older buildings

Upgrading older buildings starts with strengthening what already exists, and structural steel makes that possible. Whether reinforcing aging frameworks, adding new floors, or modernizing for current safety codes, steel provides the strength and flexibility needed to extend a structure’s life. By integrating structural steel into renovations and retrofits, communities can preserve existing buildings while making them safer, more functional, and ready for the future.
