What D & D Weld/Fab Inc does

D & D Weld/Fab Inc is a family-owned welding and fabrication company operating from a 4.5-acre site in Centerville, Louisiana, serving regional industrial, oil & gas, pipeline, and infrastructure customers across the state. Incorporated in 1998, the firm draws on more than 65 years of combined family welding experience and is qualified to a broad stack of industry-standard codes, including AWS D.1.1 and D.1.2 (structural), API 1104 (pipeline), ASME B31.3 and B31.8 (process and gas piping), and AWWA C206 (water infrastructure), with certified welding inspectors and NACE coating inspectors on staff.

The firm's technical core is a heavy industrial equipment platform: a CNC plasma cutting table, a 60,000 PSI water jet cutting system, a 180-ton brake press, hydro testing capability up to 20,000 PSI, load testing up to 10 tons, and a 70-ton crawler crane with a 120-foot boom. Fabrication is paired with a 3,200 sq ft in-house coating area and the firm's own transportation fleet, allowing the business to perform cutting, forming, welding, testing, coating, and delivery on a single site without subcontracting those steps.

Commercially, D & D Weld/Fab operates as a project-based custom fabricator rather than a catalog or recurring-revenue business. Revenue is generated through one-off fabrication, modification, and field-service contracts won against regional competitors, with the firm's certification stack and in-house equipment serving as the primary qualifications. The company's geographic focus is Louisiana, and its customer base is not publicly disclosed. No specific customers, partners, or revenue figures are named in the available data.

Broad incumbents

• Chart Industries: Manufacturer of cryogenic and process equipment (GTLS) with in-house welding, hydrostatic testing, and coatings — broader product portfolio but uses the same coded welding and pressure-test capabilities as D&D.
• Babcock & Wilcox: Large diversified industrial firm (BW) with fabrication, welding, and inspection services across power and process industries — competes for the same certified-welding scopes as D&D but at significantly larger scale.

Others

• Lincoln Electric: Largest welding equipment and consumables manufacturer (LECO); not a service peer but sets the standards and supply chain that D&D depends on for welding processes and procedures.
• ESAB Corporation: Global welding and cutting equipment manufacturer (ESAB) and a major supplier to fabrication shops — an ecosystem participant that shapes the technology stack D&D uses.

Direct peers

• Team Industrial Services: Specialty contractor providing NDT, inspection, and field machining services to energy and industrial customers — overlapping with D&D's CWI/NACE-led hydro and load testing scope.
• Dynamic Industries: Houston-based multi-discipline fabrication, welding, and coatings contractor focused on Gulf Coast energy and industrial projects — directly comparable in scope, certifications, and customer base to D&D.
• Matrix Service Company: Publicly traded EPC and industrial services contractor (MTX) with heavy welding, fabrication, and NDT capabilities serving the same oil & gas, power, and process end markets that D&D's API/ASME certifications target.
• Gulf Island Fabrication: Louisiana-headquartered fabricator serving offshore oil & gas, marine, and industrial markets with welding and structural capabilities — a regional peer sharing D&D's Gulf Coast energy exposure.
