Waldemar S. Nelson and Company, Inc.

Engineering is the foundation of civilization.

In addition to NELSON'S design experience, we have performed a variety of other services for our clients.

One important function has been assistance with procurement of materials and equipment for projects. At times we specify and arrange purchase of these items using the client's forms and funds. In other instances we purchase the items on behalf of our clients.

We have also performed feasibility studies, cost estimates, and market surveys. Our multi-discipline capability brings a broad scope of understanding to these types of investigations.
