Pelican Engineering built its reputation solving hard mechanical problems for the oil and gas industry, then expanded that expertise across marine, aerospace, and industrial manufacturing clients.
As a licensed mechanical engineering firm serving Louisiana, Texas, and Colorado, we now deliver that work directly from its Lafayette facility.

Most mechanical drafting shops stop at the drawing and hand the file off to someone else for production. We don’t work that way. The company runs mechanical, electrical, and software engineers alongside its own manufacturing floor, so a design change on Monday can be in production by Thursday, without waiting on a third-party shop to requote the job.
One team owns a project from the first sketch to the final shipped part. Clients get one point of contact, not a chain of subcontractors passing blame back and forth when a schedule slips.
Pelican Engineering holds Professional Engineer (P.E.) licensure in Louisiana, Texas, and Colorado. That licensure matters when a client needs a stamped drawing for a permit submission, an insurance requirement, or an internal engineering review board.
Justin Courville, P.E., PMP, leads mechanical engineering with more than 18 years of oil and gas industry experience and an MBA behind his project management credentials.
No two projects are identical. We tailor every design, drawing package, and manufacturing solution to meet your operational requirements and production goals.
We run our mechanical and engineering companies services out of a single facility, so a design never has to leave the building to reach production.
Engineers take a project from a rough concept through conceptual layouts, tolerance stacks, and detailed fabrication drawings a shop floor can actually build from.
Original equipment manufacturers rely on us for OEM equipment mechanical drafting services, including production-ready CAD models, bill of materials structures, and revision-controlled drawing sets that match existing part numbering systems.
We manage every mechanical project using PMI-aligned practices, giving clients a defined scope, a realistic schedule, and a single point of contact.
Many engineering projects encounter avoidable delays due to incomplete documentation, difficult-to-manufacture designs, or disconnected vendors. Pelican Engineering helps eliminate these obstacles by providing integrated engineering and manufacturing support.
Our collaborative workflow helps move projects efficiently from design into manufacturing without unnecessary handoffs.
Engineers and manufacturing teams work closely together, allowing design updates to be implemented quickly while maintaining project schedules.
Every design is reviewed with production in mind, reducing fabrication issues before manufacturing begins.
We create organized CAD files, fabrication drawings, and bills of materials that improve communication throughout production.
Unlike many mechanical engineering firms in Lafayette, Pelican Engineering combines engineering, drafting, and manufacturing within a single facility. This integrated approach helps eliminate communication gaps while accelerating project completion.
Benefits of our in-house capabilities include:
Faster design revisions
Improved quality control
Reduced production lead times
Better collaboration between engineering and manufacturing teams
Simplified project management
Greater accountability from concept through production
By managing the entire process internally, we help clients reduce delays while maintaining consistent engineering quality.
Pelican Engineering utilizes advanced engineering software and digital design processes to produce accurate documentation and efficient manufacturing solutions. Our engineering tools support every phase of mechanical product development, from concept design to production.
Our capabilities include:
Advanced 3D CAD modeling
Detailed mechanical drafting
Assembly modeling
Manufacturing drawings
Bill of materials development
Revision management
Engineering documentation
Production-ready design packages
These capabilities allow us to deliver mechanical and engineering companies services with accuracy, consistency, and faster project turnaround.
Not every project starts with a blank sheet of paper. Many manufacturers need engineering support for equipment that has been operating for years but now requires updates, replacement components, or production improvements.
Mechanical systems engineered around functional requirements and production goals.
Detailed engineering packages including fabrication drawings, assembly drawings, and bills of materials.
As a trusted mechanical engineering firm, Pelican Engineering partners with businesses across a wide range of industries that require dependable mechanical design, drafting, and manufacturing expertise.
