9 Industrial Services You Want A Fabrication And Mechanical Contractor For
Any large project is bound to have requirements that can’t be met “in-house.” If you’re working on a large project or an industrial job, often the experts you need will be steel and alloy fabricators, or mechanical contractors.
Here are 9 services an experienced fabricator or mechanical contractor will offer, that may be useful for your project.
1. CNC Plasma Cutting
If you need to cut through heavy materials like steel, stainless steel, aluminium, brass, or copper, and you don’t want to spend weeks and ruin tools doing it by hand, then CNC plasma cutting is the way. It’s fast, accurate to within a tiny fraction of an inch, and cost-effective.
2. Steel & Alloy Fabrication
At some point, most projects need customized metals of some shape or size. Whether it’s beams, tubing, piping, or entirely fabricated components, a professional fabricator has the experience to make sure your parts are a perfect fit.
3. Machining
Drilling, tapping, boring, milling, slotting, grooving, surface grinding, can all be accomplished quickly and efficiently by a good fabrication technician.
4. ASME Piping
Pressurized piping of any kind should always be fabricated by a specialist. Always be sure your fabricators are certified, and ready to provide x-ray quality welds.
5. Insulation
Industrial installation, such as that required for piping systems, tanks, vessels, columns, heat exchangers, reactors, and pumps. Fabricators are the experts you need for any form of stainless steel or aluminium jacketing.
6. Scaffolding
Whatever form of scaffolding your project requires, an experienced fabricator can manage it.
7. Mobile Mechanical Services and Welding
Sometimes taking your project to a shop isn’t an option, and you need the professionals to come to you. An experienced and well set up shop should be able to send their experts wherever you need them, for on-site welding, rigging, or fabrication.
8. Equipment Relocation
Mechanical contractors specialize in rigging and equipment. A professional team should be able to move your equipment safely no matter how large or complex.
9. Equipment Repairs and Maintenance
As mechanical specialists and fabricators, the right shop should be ideal for repairs and maintenance of all sorts. If the parts you need aren’t available, they can even make them for you.
Sometimes projects simply can’t be done without some outside help. If you’re going to hire some expert assistance, it only makes sense to get the experts that can cover all your bases.
When looking for an experienced and professional fabrication and mechanical contractor, keep in mind that you don’t want to hire a dozen different outside experts.
Look for the one shop that’s experienced in all areas, but still able to offer one-on-one services. You’ll be glad you did, and so will your budget.
