Fabrication is the art of forming or constructing an object or material to create a structure using multiple parts from multiple processes, such as assembling, cutting and shaping.
Fabrication processes are crucial for creating custom designs
Whatever the need, ATEC can deliver.
Fabrication enables the creation of tailored products and contributes to various industries’ growth and development. It requires teamwork, detailed planning and thorough communication in advance of the process to end in success.
Fabrication is necessary for several processes, including manufacturing, engineering, and product development. Steel tank and vessel fabrication, more specifically, refers to the process of manufacturing or constructing tanks using steel as the primary material. Steel tanks are widely used in various industries for storing liquids or gases, such as water, oil, chemicals and industrial gases. The fabrication process involves several stages, including design, material selection, cutting, forming, welding, testing and finishing.
The following are key reasons why fabrication is important:
- Production of customized products: Fabrication allows for the creation of products tailored to specific needs and requirements. Customization is essential in multiple industries where unique components and parts are needed.
- Improved efficiency and performance: Fabrication techniques help optimize the efficiency and performance of products. By carefully selecting materials, manufacturing processes and design features, engineers can enhance functionality, durability and overall quality.
- Repair and maintenance: Fabrication is crucial for repairing and maintaining equipment, machinery and infrastructure. It involves functionality and/or damaged components, restoring functionality and ensuring the continued operation of critical systems.
- Research and development: Fabrication supports scientific research by providing tools and instruments necessary for experimentation and data collection. It enables the creation of specialized equipment, experimental setups and custom apparatuses tailored to specific research needs.
- Infrastructure and construction: Fabrication is vital in constructing buildings, bridges and other infrastructure projects. Pre-fabrication techniques enable the efficient assembly of components off-site, reducing construction time and costs while ensuring quality control.
- Contributes to various industries’ growth and development: The use of new techniques and application of proven technology can allow for expansion of services and new products to be developed.
From beginning to end, ATEC Steel’s leading design and fabrication expertise in tank and pressure vessel production combines the complete project scope, using the latest technology and leads to on-time delivery.
Located in 160,000 square feet of manufacturing space in Baxter Springs, Kan., ATEC can customize a steel, shop-built tank or pressure vessel that weighs up to 50 tons. ATEC can accessorize it to feature supports, fittings, internals and other accessories necessary for one’s next project. Steel tank and vessel fabrication requires skilled workers, engineers and quality control measures to ensure that the tanks are built to meet industry standards and regulatory requirements, including API 650, API 620 and ASME.
Let ATEC’s expertise help determine needed services and craft a shop-built tank or vessel that meets one’s standards. It ships by rail, truck or barge. ATEC’s Attitude, Technology, Experience and Capabilities could be the reason for one’s success in the near future.
