Our ability to fabricate components for field erected steel plate structures is a key part of our integrated EPC business model. As one of the few EPC companies to maintain in-house fabrication facilities, we can ensure timely delivery and superior quality of components for our projects. And our comprehensive technical standards and quality assurance procedures allow us to deliver consistent, high quality results for all our projects.

Our global facilities include strategically located shops that can fabricate individual components, provide large subassemblies, trial fit and match mark large assemblies, and also perform painting, blasting, post-weld heat treating, nondestructive examination and testing. For large or complex projects, we may set up field fabrication facilities at or near the construction site.

High fabrication standards.

Our shops employ highly skilled welders, equipment operators and fitters who understand our standards and work processes. These seasoned craftspeople fabricate high-quality components from carbon steel, alloys, aluminum, stainless steel, stainless clad plate, copper and other materials. We can work with metal plate more than 2 inches thick to produce single-curved and double-curved plate components that satisfy the most exacting specifications. Our facilities also include areas for trial fitting large components to ensure field assembly without unexpected surprises.

Our shops receive technical support from our in-house welding and metallurgical laboratory, which performs chemical analysis, testing, heat treatment, failure and stress analysis, fatigue assessment and corrosion studies. Our welding and quality assurance group implements companywide standards and procedures for welding; develops new welding methods and equipment; trains our global personnel in welding, heat treatment and nondestructive examination; and offers technical consulting services for our projects. This group also develops, implements and manages comprehensive quality assurance systems to ensure our work meets or surpasses industry standards and technical codes.
