Begin with the end in mind.
SINCE 1983.
WOW! This summer FLEW by, didn’t it? Fall is in full swing now, and for many of us that means back-to-school time. We recently said farewell to our awesome intern, Michael Sanchez, who is back at Portland State University for his final semester as a Civil Engineering student. Though Michael was here… Continue Reading
The key to a great presentation is having passionate presenters! Recently Bob and Jerry from Westlake’s Industrial Measurement /3D Scanning Division visited the PEO Columbia Chapter at the Lucky Labrador Brew Pub. Presentation topics included application of scanning data such as as-built documentation, clash detection, BIM workflow/verification, and schematic design. The team showed many examples… Continue Reading

Fall has kicked off beautifully here in Oregon, and we love… Continue Reading

This is quite a special project, as the Broadway Bridge is one of the few Rall-type bascule bridges (or, “drawbridges”) in the world. Theodor Rall patented this design in 1901, which essentially involves a system of huge wheels and… Continue Reading

Most recently, Charles “Bob” Blair and Mike Schelsky traveled to the Kingdom of Bahrain to provide these services for the USCGC Wrangell – an Island-Class Patrol Boat in need of structural analysis and possible modification design. Bob and Mike collected data… Continue Reading
In July 2016, Westlake Consultants provided 3D laser scanning and consulting services to the University of Louisiana for their giant camel excavation project. The camel, Megatylopus, lived 7 million years ago, stood 12-14 feet tall, and functioned much like a giraffe. This is the second specimen found at this South-Central Oregon site. It took two… Continue Reading
Westlake comes in at #15! And, our president, Judi Haney, is quoted in the PBJ article regarding her observations for a bright future for workplace inclusivity. “One of our engineers has a 10-year old daughter who has come to work with him several times over the summer. She is delightful to talk to, and I think… Continue Reading
Westlake exceeded our expectations, particulary in respect to timely delivery of work products. Your staff was available, committed, and willing to do what it took to get deliverables in on time. You made our job easier by being flexible on short notice.”
