A 40,000 sq ft walled-off stainless-only room sits inside the 160,000 sq ft Oak Harbor shop, and the rest of the floor runs primarily stainless, with carbon capacity when carbon is specified.
160,000 sq ft
indoor fabrication facility
A 40,000 sq ft walled-off stainless-only room sits inside this Oak Harbor shop; the remaining floor runs primarily stainless, with carbon capacity when carbon is specified.
40,000 sq ft
dedicated stainless-only space
A walled-off room within the facility that never sees carbon steel: dedicated tooling, consumables, and welders. No cross-contamination, no free iron on finished surfaces.

craftsmen on the floor
Engineering, cutting, forming, welding, finishing, and inspection staffed in-house across two shifts.
55-foot
pickling & passivation booth
Entire assemblies pickled in one pass. No sectioning, no re-welding after finish.
Two projects other shops passed on, or tried and could not hold spec.
Every section was dry-fit against its mating part in the shop and dropped onto the in-plant flanges on the first attempt, with no forced alignment and no field rework.
Large-diameter stainless exhaust ductwork that had to mate to existing plant flanges with zero forced alignment on site.
Delivered straighter than spec. Installed without field rework.
Regional wastewater authority. Previous fabricator couldn't hold straightness over the span.
Have a stainless job others have turned down?
Carbon and stainless share the same shop in almost every fabrication facility. Free iron transfers from grinders, clamps, tables, and weld spatter, and shows up weeks later as rust bloom or pitting on finished stainless surfaces. What makes us different is how we keep carbon off the stainless.
Plate to passivation, under one roof
Most shops outsource pickling, passivation, or post-weld finishing. Your part travels, waits in queues, picks up handling damage between stations. We don't. From plate to passivation, the work happens here, under one quality system, with one accountable name.
AWS D1.6 stainless qualifications aren't optional for critical stainless work, and they aren't static.
Where stainless steel has to perform under real service conditions.
Featured Industry
Fabrication built to 3-A sanitary and ASME BPE requirements when your spec invokes them. Mixer housings, sanitary tanks, skid-mounted CIP systems, 316L weld finishes that pass crevice inspection.
Featured Industry
Municipal and industrial treatment systems. Troughs, weirs, chemical dosing skids, duplex 2205 storage tanks for chloride service, fabricated to your seismic and corrosion drawing requirements.
More industries we serve
Exhaust ductwork, process and tower internals, process piping, and structural components welded to code-quality procedures. 304, 316, and high-nickel alloys for high-heat and aggressive chemical service.
Wet scrubbers, quench vessels, stack liners, demister housings. Corrosion-resistant fabrication built for sustained acid dew-point exposure.
Mirror-polished facade panels, sculptural features, outdoor installations. Surface-quality and weld finish specified and held to the architect's drawings.
Process tanks, chutes, vacuum box frames, heavy-gauge stainless equipment built to survive abrasive, corrosive mill conditions without line-stop repairs.
From plate to passivation, our custom stainless steel fabrication runs austenitic, duplex, and specialty alloys through cutting, forming, welding, and finishing under one roof.
A 12 kW Trumpf fiber laser cuts stainless sheet and plate up to 1.25 inches thick, a 3,200 W CO2 cell runs production sheet behind it, and an 8-person engineering team programs every nest from your CAD.
Five CNC press brakes, two Trumpf TruBend 5320s among them, form stainless from sheet gauges through heavy plate, with springback compensation set per grade and formed dimensions verified against your CAD model before parts move to welding.
60+ AWS-certified welders running ASME BPVC Section IX qualified procedures across nine processes (GTAW, GMAW, FCAW, SAW, robotic, K-TIG, and more) on stainless, duplex, and nickel alloys.
Welding leaves stainless with heat tint, free iron, and a chromium-depleted layer that fails service life if it ships out the door. We pickle and passivate to ASTM A380 and A967 in a 55 ft booth, and run copper-sulfate verification (ASTM A967 Practice D) when your specification or purchase order calls for it.
Bead blasting gives stainless a uniform, non-directional matte finish that hides handling marks and leaves the surface in compression, run on dedicated stainless equipment with ASTM A380 pickling available under the same roof.
Before your fabrication ships, we assemble it on our floor, verify it against your CAD model with a Leica AT960 laser tracker, and exercise the moving parts, so a fit problem costs hours in the shop instead of days in the field.
Technical Resources
What engineers and procurement managers ask before they send a drawing.
Custom stainless steel equipment and weldments: process and storage tanks, pipe spools, ductwork, structural assemblies, and sanitary equipment, in austenitic, duplex, and nickel alloys. We also hold the ASME U (#63199) and PP (#63198) Certificates of Authorization and are authorized to build code pressure vessels and pressure piping to your specification at our Oak Harbor shop.
Austenitic 304, 316, 309, 321, and 347; duplex 2205, 2507, and LDX 2101; and nickel alloys including Hastelloy C-276, C-22, and AL-6XN. Welding procedures are qualified per ASME BPVC Section IX and AWS D1.6.
Within our 160,000 sq ft facility, a dedicated 40,000 sq ft stainless-only room runs no carbon steel, so there is no free-iron cross-contamination on the passive surface. The rest of the facility handles heavy fabrication and assembly, primarily stainless with carbon capacity when carbon is specified. Cutting, forming, welding, pickling, passivation, and inspection happen under one roof.
We provide the records your specification and purchase order require: Material Test Reports traced by heat, weld maps with WPS references, welder continuity logs, PMI, and NDE reports, available on request.
Engineering reviews every drawing, and an engineer is on the phone when you need one.
