Plate Rolling
Our advanced plate rolling equipment shapes medium and heavy steel plates into precision cylinders and segments. With capacity for 50-ton components, we maintain consistent roundness and dimensional accuracy. Our ASME-certified processes ensure structural integrity for critical industrial applications.
Steel Fabrication
Complete custom fabrication services from initial cutting to final assembly. Our 50,000 sq ft facility handles complex projects using 15 manual and 3 submerged arc welding machines. We meet ASME, AWS, and NAVSEA standards for quality assurance.
Thermal Stress Relieving
Our 14x14x42 foot furnace provides controlled heat treatment to eliminate residual stresses from welding. This process maintains dimensional stability for large components up to 120,000 lbs, meeting ASME Section VIII requirements for critical applications.
Flame Cutting
Precision flame and plasma cutting services for complex shapes in steel plates up to 24 inches thick. Our three dedicated burning lines ensure accurate cuts with clean edges, preparing materials for subsequent fabrication processes.
Shot Blasting
15x12x22 foot shot blast booth cleans steel surfaces using high-velocity steel media. This process removes impurities and prepares surfaces for welding or coating applications, maintaining quality standards for industrial components.
