Civil Infrastructure & Water Control — Milwaukee Metal Fabrication

Fabricated Weldments for Civil Infrastructure and Hydroelectric Projects

Large welded structures and assemblies built to customer drawings for infrastructure and water-control projects, where geometry has to hold from the shop floor to the site.

What We Build in This Market

What We Build for Civil Infrastructure and Water Control

Large welded structures and assemblies built to customer drawings for infrastructure and water-control projects, where geometry has to hold from the shop floor to the site.

Large Welded Structures

Structures and frames built to customer drawings, sized and sequenced for the geometry the project requires.

Project-Specific Fixturing

Fixturing and handling developed for the part rather than adapted from stock tooling, so location repeats across a run.

Controlled Welding & Geometry

Deliberate weld sequencing and in-process geometry checks on long structures, where distortion accumulates across dozens of joints.

CEF is supporting a hydroelectric project in Indiana with large welded structures and expanded robotic-welding capability. Additional application details and project photography are being documented.

Built for These Jobs

Scale and Process Control for Infrastructure Work

Capacity & Equipment

Parts and structures to 20,000 lb, lengths to 60 feet, certified welders across all major processes, and on-site CNC machining for mounting faces and critical tolerances.

Finishing & Full Assembly

Full assembly completed in-house. We offer sandblasting, painting, powder coating, plating, and galvanizing, so equipment leaves ready for the field.

Why CEF

Built for Structures That Have to Hold Their Shape

Medium to large parts and mechanical assemblies where cutting, forming, welding, machining, and finishing all have to come together on one program.

  • ISO 9001:2015 certified — quality system documented through every operation
  • Laser, plasma, oxy-fuel flame, shearing, production sawing, miter sawing, and cold sawing in-house
  • Press brake forming, bending, bump forming, and plate rolling on-site
  • Certified welders across a full range of metals including aluminum, high-alloy steel, and nickel-based alloys
  • On-site CNC machining for precision bores, drilled surfaces, and critical tolerances
  • Full assembly in-house, with finishing services including sandblasting, painting, powder coating, plating, and galvanizing
  • Fabrication capabilities and inspection services built to meet the requirements of demanding programs
  • In business since 1990 — Milwaukee, WI

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions About Civil Infrastructure Fabrication

Questions we hear from engineers and procurement managers evaluating CEF for infrastructure and water-control work.

CEF fabricates parts and structures to 20,000 lb and lengths to 60 feet in a 65,000 square foot facility with overhead crane coverage. Send the drawing and we will tell you whether the envelope and the handling work.

We offer finishing services including sandblasting, painting, powder coating, plating, and galvanizing, so equipment and structural components leave ready for the field.

Lead time depends on material availability, project complexity, required processes, quantity, and current shop loading. Send us the drawing and your target date, and we will evaluate timing as part of the quote.

Yes. We work with OEMs developing new equipment as well as those needing production runs on established designs. Tell us your volume expectations when you submit, and we’ll scope accordingly.
