Weld Overlay Cladding
Weld overlay cladding applies corrosion-resistant alloys to metallic components, protecting critical infrastructure in aggressive environments. This process extends asset lifespan by up to 60% compared to solid alloy components. Our ASME-certified team uses advanced techniques like plasma transfer arc welding to clad pipes, valves, and flanges for nuclear, petrochemical, and renewable energy sectors.
Specialist Fabrication
We manufacture complex fabrications including pressure vessels, subsea piping, and nuclear components to international standards. Our 42,000 sq ft facility houses CNC machining, robotic welding, and NDT testing capabilities. With ASME U & U2 accreditations, we ensure code compliance for critical applications in oil & gas, defence, and water industries.
ASME U & U2 Services
As one of eight UK manufacturers with ASME U & U2 stamps, we produce code-compliant pressure vessels and components. Our engineers handle full project cycles from design to certification, meeting BPVC requirements. This includes clad vessels, strainers, and hydrocyclones for global energy and chemical clients.
Technical Expertise
Our team of European-certified welding engineers provides technical guidance and R&D solutions. We specialise in weld procedure development, materials selection, and failure analysis. With ISO 3834-2 certification, we ensure metallurgical integrity for projects requiring ASME, API, or ISO standards compliance.
Water & Wastewater Fabrication
We supply stainless steel fabrications for water treatment plants, including flow control units and storm drains. Our ISO 9001-certified processes combine weld overlay cladding with precision machining to prevent corrosion in harsh wastewater environments. Projects benefit from our in-house NDT and FARO Arm inspection capabilities.
