-
Responsive communication and adherence to delivery schedules
-
Full quality control and inspection protocols
Our Fabrication Capabilities
We pride ourselves on offering a broad array of fabrication services tailored to meet the needs of modern industrial, agricultural, and custom projects. Below are core areas where we excel:
Cutting & Prep Work
-
Laser, plasma, and flame cutting — precise profiles and shapes from plate, sheet, and structural stock
-
Shearing and sawing — fast, accurate cuts for secondary operations
-
Punching, CNC nesting, and profiling
-
Edge prep and beveling for weld joints
Bending, Forming & Press Brake Work
-
Forming complex bends in plates or sheet material
-
Press brake bending, roll forming, and section bending
-
Jogging, notching, hole patterns, flanges, and hems
Welding & Joining
-
MIG, TIG, stick, flux-core welding
-
Weldments, sub-assemblies, structural frames, trusses
-
Fixturing and jigs to ensure precision alignment
-
Welding in exotic metals (depending on material)
-
Weld repair, seam reinforcement, and rework
Assembly & Sub-Assembly
-
Component fitting, tacking, alignment, and full weld
-
Assembly of multi-piece structures, frames, or modules
-
Mechanical fastening, bolting, inserts, and hardware installation
Finishing & Secondary Operations
-
Grinding, smoothing, and blending weld seams
-
Sandblasting, shot peening for surface prep
-
Coating, painting, powder coating, galvanizing
-
Final drilling, tapping, countersinking, and precision machining (if needed)
-
Inspection & Quality Control — dimensional checks, straightness checks, weld quality audits
Material Types We Fabricate
We work with a wide variety of metals and alloys, including:
-
Carbon steels & structural grades
-
Stainless steels (304, 316, etc.)
-
Mild steel, plate steel
-
Aluminum, brass, bronze
-
Tubing, pipe, angles, channels, beams
-
Exotic alloys (based on feasibility and client requirements)
Industries & Applications We Serve
Our fabrication expertise spans many fields. Some common applications include:
-
Structural steel for buildings, frames, and supports
-
Agricultural / farming implements and machinery
-
Off-road and heavy equipment assemblies
-
Marine frames, supports, and brackets
-
Industrial machinery components
-
Custom architectural metalwork and decorative elements
-
Prototype and low-volume custom builds
-
Repair and refurbishment of worn or damaged fabricated parts
Whether your need is functional, structural, decorative, or custom, we can help you design and build a solution.
Our Process & Quality Assurance
We follow a rigorous process to maintain consistency, reliability, and communication throughout your project:
-
Consult & Quoting
Share your drawings, models, concept sketches, or part needs. We evaluate materials, tolerances, cost, lead time, and will offer suggestions for fabrication-friendly design improvements. -
Material Procurement & Prep
We source and stock required plate, structural sections, tubing, and raw stock. Initial cutting and pre-prep is done in our shop under controlled conditions. -
Setup & Fabrication
Using jigs, fixtures, weld tables, and fixturing systems, we align every component before welding. We maintain dimensional control via in-process measurements and inspection. -
Assembly & Welding
Sub-assemblies are tacked, measured, then fully welded. We pay attention to minimizing distortion and warpage, using tried-and-true welding sequencing, heat control, and straightening protocols. -
Post-Processing & Finish Work
Welds are cleaned, ground, blended, and finished. Secondary machining, drilling, or fitting is done as needed. Parts go through surface treatments (painting, powder coating, galvanization, etc.) if required. -
Inspection & Delivery
Before delivery, each fabricated assembly undergoes inspection checks — dimensional verification, straightness, weld quality, finish integrity. We package and ship with care, ensuring parts arrive in ready-to-install condition.
Typical Turnaround & Project Capacity
-
Small to medium sub-assemblies: 1–2 weeks, depending on complexity
-
Larger steel frames, full weldments, structural assemblies: 2–6+ weeks
-
Rush or emergency repairs: upon agreement, we can expedite particular jobs
-
Capacity to manage multi-unit runs or batch fabrication
We match lead time expectations to project scale, and communicate transparently throughout the process.
Why Our Fabrication Stands Out
| Feature | Benefit for You |
|---|---|
| In-house control | Fewer handoffs, better quality consistency |
| Skilled welders & fabricators | Certified welds, robust structures |
| Strong alignment & fixturing systems | Reduced distortion, precise assemblies |
| Flexible material handling | Broad material support (plate, sheet, tubing) |
| Quality documentation | Traceability and inspection records |
| Local facility, national reach | Easier shipping & service for Maine / New England clients |
Case Studies & Sample Projects
-
Structural steel frames for equipment mounts
-
Welded frames and supports for agricultural machinery
-
Custom metal enclosures and housings
-
Repair or rebuild of damaged steel assemblies
-
