Westport Welding Innovations

Westport Welding Innovations is an engineering company evolving from expert consulting into a data-driven, advanced manufacturing enterprise. With deep roots in materials science, welding engineering, and global project execution, we help our customers solve the toughest fabrication challenges—today and tomorrow. Founded by Patrick Staunton, a welding technical authority with over two decades of experience, Westport has supported multi-billion-dollar energy megaprojects around the world. We previously partnered with GATE Energy to support Shell’s global projects, and today we are proud to work with Audubon Engineering, delivering welding and materials expertise to bp and Shell on projects such as Kaskida and Tiber. Westport’s next chapter is built on innovation. We’re developing proprietary tools to digitize and structure the mountains of materials data generated by industry. We use this real-world data to power AI tools that design optimized alloys and fabrication methods—especially for applications in clean energy, aerospace, and climate tech. From high-stakes infrastructure to space exploration, Westport is building the data and tools that will shape the future of manufacturing. We capture industrial data from real-world projects—like Shell and bp megaprojects—and use it to build tools that design, optimize, and deliver next-generation components for the energy, space, and infrastructure sectors. Our platform combines data digitization, machine learning, materials science, and advanced manufacturing (including WAAM) to help innovators bring bold ideas to life faster, smarter, and more sustainably.
