The workshop, the process, the people.
This is not an import operation. The tanks are built in-house by our own welders. The page below shows the workshop and the process we run on every order.
How our workshop is set up.
Our workshop is equipped with plate rolling machines, TIG and MIG welding bays, dye-penetrant test stations, finishing bays, and a flatbed-accessible loading yard. Overhead cranes handle vessel movement.
We work to ASME and AWS standards where the spec requires it, and to relevant regulatory and client-specific standards where it doesn't. Welder certification is current; test records on every weld; vessel commissioning is supervised on-site.
Every tank goes through six steps.
- 01
Cutting
CNC plasma and waterjet on incoming plate, sized to drawing.
- 02
Rolling
Plate rolled to shell radius on heavy three-roll machines.
- 03
Welding
TIG with argon backing for stainless, MIG for carbon steel.
- 04
Testing
Dye-penetrant on every seam, hydrotest on every vessel.
- 05
Finishing
Surface finish to Ra spec for food-grade, painting or galvanising for structural.
- 06
Delivery
Loaded on flatbed at the workshop, delivered to your plant.
