FICKETT STRUCTURAL SOLUTIONS INC

Fickett Structural Solutions Inc. specializes in quality assurance and engineering services for critical infrastructure projects, with a primary focus on fabrication inspection, structural testing, and technical oversight for defense and waterway systems. The company delivers expert QA services during the fabrication, painting, and installation of complex hydraulic structures—including tainter gates, miter gates, and bulkheads—ensuring compliance with military and civil engineering standards. Their technical expertise spans non-destructive evaluation, submittal reviews, material verification, and fabrication process audits, with deep familiarity in U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and DoD construction protocols. Fickett distinguishes itself through precision-driven inspection methodologies tailored to heavy industrial components used in lock and dam systems, naval infrastructure, and waterway modernization programs. The contractor maintains a consistent and exclusive relationship with the Department of Defense, providing mission-critical quality assurance across multiple engineering and testing domains. Their work supports infrastructure resilience initiatives for military waterways, navigation systems, and defense-related fabrication facilities, reinforcing a pattern of trusted, repeat engagement on high-stakes civil works and defense construction projects. Fickett’s core industry focus lies in engineering services (NAICS 541330) and testing laboratories (NAICS 541380), where they serve as an independent third-party verifier for structural integrity and compliance in heavy fabrication environments. Their market positioning centers on niche, high-skill QA roles within defense and federal water infrastructure sectors, filling a specialized gap between design teams and field construction crews. As a small business structured as a 2L entity based in Middleton, Wisconsin, Fickett operates with agility and technical precision, serving federal clients without reliance on formal certifications. Their geographic presence is strategically aligned with DoD infrastructure projects nationwide, leveraging regional engineering talent to support national defense and civil works missions.
