Engineering Design
From the initial customer request, each job at Badger Industries is guided by
an individual engineer who has a thorough working knowledge of all facets of the
project, as well as applicable codes and standards. Once Badger determines
customer requirements, the expansion joint design is transferred to the drafting
department where a CAD-generated drawing is developed, qualified weld procedures
are established, and quality assurance guidelines are identified. Each
Badger contract requires a complete product drawing and bill of materials to be
furnished to the customer for review, approval or record, as applicable.

The Badger Engineering Staff has over 84 years of combined experience in

design and applications assistance. In ensuring the proper use and
