Over 50 years ago Planet Corporation opened its Highway and Railroad Safety Products division near Birmingham. The facility was strategically located three miles south of U.S. Steel's Fairfield, Alabama plant. Henry A. Parker, a Licensed Professional Civil Engineer and University of Alabama graduate, was hired as Planet Corporation's Chief Engineer in 1973 after many years with U.S. Steel.
From project estimating to fabrication and shipment, Walpar's processes are highly efficient and constantly improved. Cross-functional abilities at all employee levels allow us to execute on projects and meet industry demands. Structures delivered on time and "fit up" right the first time, insuring smooth field installation.
