Founded in 1987 in Fox Creek, Alberta, PREFURD began as a welding company and has grown into a trusted provider of custom fabrication and field services. After relocating to Grande Prairie, we built a reputation for reliable work across Alberta and northern BC.
As demand evolved, PREFURD expanded beyond its role as a welding company to include pipeline construction, custom fabrication, and oilfield insulation. Over time, this growth led to broader capabilities across skid packages, building fabrication, piping and structural welding, insulation, vessel maintenance, and field construction — helping position PREFURD as a trusted contractor on complex projects.
Today, PREFURD is proudly Métis and woman-owned, supported by experienced leadership and a diverse team. This unique ownership, along with our expertise in custom fabrication and pipeline construction, shapes how we operate. We focus on building strong partnerships, delivering dependable results, and making a meaningful contribution to the communities where we work, all backed by our capabilities as a leading welding company.
