Industrial Engineering & Design in Tuscaloosa, AL
Jones Machine and Welding provides industrial engineering and design for Tuscaloosa and Tuscaloosa County from our shop in Oakman, about 44 miles away. Since 1971, industrial customers have relied on us for quality, dependability and a customer‑first approach.
Engineering for Tuscaloosa Industry
Tuscaloosa is the county seat of Tuscaloosa County and sits on the Black Warrior River southwest of our shop. The county's mix of underground coal mining, aggregate operations, and manufacturing lines up closely with the industries we serve.
Our four experienced engineers focus on practical, real‑world solutions that move projects from concept to completion with clarity and confidence.
Typical work includes design-build structures, transfer chutes, reverse-engineered replacement parts, platforms and stairs, and custom equipment. Designs are optimized for fabrication and installation because the same company builds and installs them.
For existing equipment and structures, 3D laser scanning and precision measurement let us capture accurate as-built conditions before we design a modification or replacement.
