Blackwater Ironworks LLC is a heavy fabrication and design firm based in Bryan, TX, founded in 2017. We proudly serve clients across Houston, Waco, College Station, Midland, and neighboring areas. From the beginning, our mission has been simple: to exceed our customers' expectations—and our repeat clients are proof that we’re doing just that.

At Blackwater, we believe in building long-term relationships by delivering value and collaborating closely with our customers. Our strength lies in our ability to produce high-quality forms and detailed CAD files, ensuring efficient workflows and excellent results. Design is central to what we do, and we make it a priority to thoroughly understand our clients’ needs from the start. By capturing clear, detailed notes—often through field sketches—we aim to get projects right the first time. These sketches can be quickly turned into 3D models for early-stage validation using our CAD platform.

What sets us apart is our in-house design capabilities, including the use of OnShape, a cloud-based 3D CAD platform. This tool allows us to share real-time models with our customers, offering full visibility and collaboration throughout the design process. Customers simply need a free account to access and interact with their project files, giving them peace of mind and control.

Unlike other fabrication shops that rely on third-party engineers—or worse, skip drawings altogether, Blackwater provides comprehensive design documentation. Drawings are essential for clear communication and accuracy, and we’ve streamlined our process to eliminate unnecessary delays and confusion.

We also specialize in custom fabrication of structural and pipe components—everything from platforms and trailer chassis to brackets and customer-specific designs. Each job begins with a CAD model and is supported by a detailed drawing package on the shop floor, ensuring consistent quality. Any changes or issues are documented directly on the drawings for quick resolution by our design or management teams.

Our project management process is thorough and transparent. After a free consultation, we define a clear scope of work including schedule, budget, and design elements. All documents and drawings are organized in our business management software under a dedicated client folder. The design is refined collaboratively, and once approved, we generate an estimate, order materials, and schedule the job for production. Quality checks are performed at every stage, with all documentation archived for future reference.

Our ideal clients are companies or individuals with a product idea or custom fabrication need who are looking for guidance and execution. We’re not afraid to roll up our sleeves and solve problems—whether it's refining a design, selecting more cost-effective materials, or consulting with other industry specialists to optimize your product.

At Blackwater Ironworks, we combine deep fabrication knowledge, cutting-edge tools, and a commitment to quality to deliver results you can trust—making us the best fabrication shop Texas has to offer.
