About Us
Our Core Values
Integrity
The core pillar of Alloy Metalworks.
We hold ourselves and our partners to the highest expectations of honesty, transparency, and character. Everything in our operation from communication to quality control relies on integrity. We do the right thing, always.
Curiosity
Consistent and persistent improvement. As problem solvers, we stay open to discoveries just beyond the horizon. We push forward to solutions in process, methodology, and capabilities.
Collaboration
Working together within our organization as well as with our clients and partners in pursuit of the greatest possible result. We believe collaboration and communication should replace one sided orders or direction. We ask questions that facilitate dialogue with our clients and within our organization.
Humility
Willingness to maintain an open mind, regardless of position or standing. We firmly believe that the best ideas are yet to be had, and they can come from anywhere and anyone. We would never be so bold to say we know best, because best is yet to be discovered.
Heart
We accept the challenges and obstacles of innovation. They stoke our fire and never deter our focus and enthusiasm. At our root, is a desire to solve the biggest problems we can to better our society.

Our mission is to accelerate innovation through the application of expertise in welding and fabrication.
To that end, we have built a continually expanding base of knowledge and skill in the craft of working with the most challenging and cutting-edge metal alloys.
Background
Alloy Metalworks, established in 2020, emerged to cater to the needs of Geotechnical and Environmental exploration drilling companies. After spending nearly a decade working in the industry, founder, Chris Gavitt, identified a gap in the industry for a partner possessing both technical metalworking skills and practical engineering knowledge.
Distinguished by our commitment to professionalism and skill, Alloy Metalworks seamlessly integrates traditional craftsmanship with cutting-edge knowledge to meet the diverse needs of our clients. Our primary expertise lies in the technical mastery of welding and machining alloy metals, applied across a wide spectrum of industries. We are dedicated to addressing the significant challenges faced by our industry partners.
In the realm of metallurgy, an alloy is defined as a "metallic substance composed of two or more elements, as either a compound or solution" (Encyclopedia Britannica, 2022). In modern and forward-thinking industries, alloys and specialty metals have gained prominence for their superior chemical and mechanical properties compared to conventional materials. Working with alloys demands specialized procedures and techniques to achieve robust, effective welds without compromising the unique properties of the metal. This sets welding specialty metals and alloys apart from standard welding practices, necessitating a more technical and precise approach—a fundamental skillset at the core of Alloy Metalworks.
