What started with just one pickup truck and a welding machine has translated into one of the major long-standing businesses in the steel and construction industry. George’s Welding Services (GWS) is a full-service company, which combines its three decades of experience in the fabrication and installation of structural steel and miscellaneous metals with innovative construction technology and project management, and engineering expertise in delivering top-quality metal fabrication services and creating unique metal and steel structures.

GWS’s state-of-the-art 25,000 square foot facility has the trained personnel and technological equipment to carry out the metal fabrication work. The fabrication machinery comprises the most up-to-date sawing, shearing, bending, punching, and welding machinery, warranting fabricated steel by GWS to be one among the best in terms of quality and schedule. The company offers its services in Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach County and ships the finished products to any country globally. “Adopting CNC (computer numerical control) machines, automation, project management, BIM (Building Information Modeling) software, and 3D modeling has helped tremendously in our production and quality control measures,” said Jorge Amador Jr., Vice President and COO of George’s Welding Services.

GWS’s unique methodology in engaging with their clients upon undertaking a venture involves holding meetings once a week on the front end for the design-assist projects to understand the client’s objective and develop a budget that works best for them. The goal and financial plan are two parameters that the organization focuses on when designing a project. In addition, the enterprise is certified by some of the industry’s leading organizations to warrant product quality. The facility holds several certifications including, the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC), Associated Builders and Contractors of East Florida (ABC), Construction Association of South Florida (CASF), American Welding Society (AWS), and the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT).

We have a core group of individuals who are familiar with our systems and procedures and who follow them to the end, resulting in the high-quality products that we provide to our customers

What sets GWS apart from its competitors is its quality and workmanship. The company has seasoned employees that have worked with them for many years. Amador takes pride in their competent team comprising civil and industrial engineers, architects, certified welders, and general contractors. “We have a core group of individuals who are familiar with our systems and procedures and who follow them to the end, resulting in the high-quality products that we provide to our customers,” he notes. Besides, the organization’s remarkable work culture includes going the extra mile in keeping its employee safe. Every Monday, it holds a toolbox talk to ensure employee safety and quality in projects and has recently marked 1000 days of being injury and accident-free.

Demonstrating GWS’s competencies is one award-winning success story, where the business effectively helped build The Christine E. Lynn Rehabilitation Center for the Miami Project to Cure Paralysis at UHealth/Jackson Memorial. Despite getting involved in the middle of the pandemic when the project started, the team lent its hands in creating the memorial, which was to be one of the country’s top treatment centers for patients suffering from traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, cancer therapy, and other complex conditions. Even though the hospital’s strict COVID protocols were a major challenge, the GWS team ensured keeping the employees safe and complied with all the measures to deliver the desired outcome. Currently, the corporation is working on Miami Signature Bridge, a freestanding signature bridge supported by six arches in downtown Miami.

Owing to its long-term success built upon a rich timeline of industrial experience, it does not come as a surprise for GWS to have a loyal customer base. The company further strives to grow and service its clients by providing them with the next successful and quality product. “As a pivotal goal we are striving to be the number one fabricator in South Florida,” concludes Amador.
