Built on Family Values & Hands-On Experience

Our story started in 1988 when Waverly Lamb founded Wavco Pipe & Steel after years of working as a welder and fabricator in the oil and gas industry. He saw there was a real need in the San Juan Basin for a dependable all-around fabrication shop and steel supplier, especially during a time when the oil and gas industry was facing a downturn. He started small, stayed focused, and built the business with strong family values that still shape how we work today.

In 2005, Martin Lamb and his wife Carrie took over the business and continued that same tradition of fast, honest service at a fair price. That mindset still guides everything we do. We believe customers deserve quality workmanship, clear communication, and a team that respects their timeline and budget. That approach has helped us earn long-term relationships with local businesses, contractors, and customers throughout Northern New Mexico and Southern Colorado.

Custom Steel. Expertly Built.

  • Angles
  • Flats
  • Sheets
  • Plates
  • Beams
  • Square tubes
  • Rectangle tubes

Custom Metal Fabrication Services & Steel Supplier

We know metal fabrication is not one-size-fits-all. Every customer comes to us with a different need, different measurements, and different expectations for how the finished product should perform. That is why we take a practical, custom approach to every project.

Our custom metal fabrication services are built for industrial, commercial, agricultural, and residential applications. We work on projects tied to the oil and gas industry, but we also help contractors, builders, ranchers, and homeowners who need parts, components, repairs, or one-off fabricated items that are made to last.

We provide:

That range of capabilities allows us to take on a wide variety of jobs without overcomplicating the process. We focus on precision, durability, and practical results that hold up in the field.

Serving Oil & Gas, Contractors, & Everyday Customers

Eagle Icon 2

A large portion of our fabrication work has always been connected in some way to the oil and gas industry. That background is a major strength for us because it has shaped the way we think about durability, safety, and performance. Customers in demanding industries need products that can handle tough environments, heavy use, and real pressure. We understand that because we have been building for those conditions for decades.

At the same time, we are not limited to industrial work. We also serve home builders, general contractors, ranchers, and customers handling personal projects. Some need steel materials. Some need repairs. Some need custom fabrication that cannot be picked off a shelf. We are set up to help all of them with the same level of care and attention.

That flexibility is a big part of what makes us valuable to the region. We can support large commercial and industrial jobs while still helping the person who walks in needing a manageable amount of steel or a custom solution for a smaller project.

Fabricated Products Built to Your Specifications

We build products that are made to solve real problems, not just look good on paper. Many of the fabricated items we produce are functional, heavy-duty, and built around the exact needs of the customer. We specialize in products such as pits, tanks, boxes, skids, and headache racks, and we can also create a wide variety of specialty items based on project requirements. Common products we fabricate include:

Common Products We Fabricate Include →
  • Headache racks
  • Tanks
  • Steel boxes
  • Skids
  • Pipe assemblies
  • Structural supports
  • Brackets
  • Custom industrial components
  • Specialty fabricated metal products

When customers bring us a concept, dimensions, or a specific challenge, we work to turn that into a finished product that performs the way it should. We understand that custom fabrication is about function as much as fit, and we build with both in mind.

In-House Capabilities That Keep Projects Moving

One of the biggest advantages of working with us is the range of in-house services we offer. Customers do not want to bounce from shop to shop trying to piece together one project. They want a team that can handle the major steps efficiently and keep the work moving. That is exactly what we aim to provide.

Our shop capabilities include shearing, breaking, rolling, hole punching, welding, plasma cutting, sandblasting, and painting. With our iron worker and plasma cutter burn table, we can process steel and fabricate parts with the speed and consistency customers need.

This kind of in-house capability matters because it helps us control quality, keep turnaround times efficient, and give customers a more reliable process from start to finish.

Steel Solutions That Last

Fast, Honest Service at a Fair Price

We know customers are not just looking for technical ability. They are also looking for a shop they can trust. That has always been one of the core values behind our business. We believe in being honest about the work, realistic about timelines, and fair in our pricing. We do not think good service should be complicated.

That philosophy has helped us become a trusted resource for businesses and individuals who want dependable workmanship without unnecessary hassle. We know delays can affect a job site, a schedule, or a customer budget, so we work hard to keep projects moving and communicate clearly along the way.

People come back to us because they know what to expect. They know we take the work seriously, and they know we are committed to delivering products and services that meet a high standard.
