Washington Equip MFG Co. Inc.

The state insures WEMCO's crews under heavy machinery and equipment manufacturing and repair, which matches what the company advertises: design and engineering, fabrication, sandblasting and paint, assembly and installation, crane rail inspection and replacement, control system updates, and laser leveling and alignment using Leica, Romer and Mitutoyo tools with PC-DMIS and Spatial Analyzer software. Public work runs from 2004 to 2026, mostly as prime contractor, for Grant County PUD No. 2, the cities of Moses Lake, Spokane and Pullman, Douglas County PUD, the Spokane Airport Board, Energy Northwest and Evergreen School District. The state lists John Rouse as a principal since 1980 and Karma Rouse since 2011. This is an industrial shop with a large workforce, and its work comes through repeat customers, referrals and other contractors rather than homeowners. It fits a facility manager planning a crane inspection or rebuild, a plant that needs custom machinery or complex machining, or an operation upgrading rigging and hoist systems. A kitchen remodel, a deck or routine household wiring and plumbing belong with a residential contractor. Equipment work on industrial and public sites in Spokane, Spokane Valley and the surrounding counties often touches permitted systems: new crane runways tied into building structure, foundations for batch plants, and electrical feeds for hoists and controls usually go through the local building department or state electrical inspection. Whoever holds the contract should pull those permits and schedule the inspections, since the contractor carries responsibility for code compliance and the owner needs a clean inspection record for insurers and future work.
