Plant and equipment fabrication is a complex job. Only a company that specializes in this field can handle such projects. Some companies in this field operate at a smaller scale and offer only fabrication works. There are large fabrication companies that undertake fabrication of very large and complex units. This type of company can design, engineer, fabricate and install large scale facilities for industries. Large manufacturing units need heavy duty equipments, machinery and structures. Some of the industries where fabricated items are needed include oil and gas, chemical, food processing, power generation, refinery, mining, cement plant, sugar plant and aerospace, among many others.

Plant fabrication requires fabrication of various equipments and structural items. It may be an indoor or outdoor construction. The project may involve fabricating different types of systems that will be installed over a wide area. For big projects, only a team that has required number of engineers, fabricators and trained workers should be hired. Heavy fabrication can be done onsite or offsite. Machinery and equipments that cannot be transported even on the largest truck are manufactured on the site itself. Items that are transportable can be fabricated at the manufacturing unit and then transported to the site where it is needed. In both cases, the work involves precision engineering, assembling and installation.

Fabrication of a large machinery or equipment involves cutting, sawing, drilling, milling, welding, rolling and bending metals. The manufactured item requires surface treatment, heat treatment and other works before being ready to use. All such jobs require use of industrial grade drills, lathes, cutting machines, milling machines and other tools. For lifting, handling and moving heavy fabricated items, powerful cranes, machinery and vehicles are needed.

The fabrication company offering heavy duty equipment and machinery fabrication can make large vessels, silos, tanks, hoppers, housing frames, structural frames, cranes, reactors, ovens, agitators, autoclaves, pressure vessels, steel plant and many other custom equipments. Items manufactured in large industries go through various processes. At every stage, a different set of plant, structural units and equipments are needed. The plant and equipment fabrication company is ready to fabricate all such items.

There are many reasons why such heavy items are fabricated and not available for quick purchase. These items are quite expensive and there is less demand for such items. Generally, there is no fixed specification for such items. Each client needs a product with different set of specifications. Products are manufactured in standard specifications only when there is large and regular demand for the same item. Due to these reasons, when a company needs heavy machinery, equipment or structural units, it has to use fabrication services. The products are custom made according to the required specifications of a client.
