Stainless Steel Fabrication for
the Power, Energy & Chemical Industries

In the power, energy, and chemical sectors, there is no margin for error. Components operate in extreme environments where immense pressure, caustic substances, and extreme temperatures are the baseline. Component failure is not an option, as it directly impacts operational safety, regulatory compliance, and financial viability.

Northern Manufacturing is the premier ISO 9001 and ASME-certified fabrication partner for engineers and procurement managers in these high-stakes industries. Since 1951, we have specialized in transforming complex challenges in stainless steel and specialty alloys into spec-ready, high-value components built for decades of reliable performance. We understand that you aren’t just buying a part; you are procuring a guarantee of predictable performance in a hazardous environment.

Your Challenges, Our Certified Solutions

We have engineered our capabilities to directly address the operational realities of your industry. Our deep expertise and comprehensive in-house services provide turnkey solutions that mitigate risk and ensure project success.

Corrosion & Material Degradation

The relentless threat of corrosion from acids, chlorides, and saltwater requires profound material expertise. We are specialists in fabricating Duplex stainless steels, high-nickel alloys, and other corrosion-resistant materials, with welding and finishing processes designed to preserve and enhance their protective properties. Our on-staff experts and Positive Material Identification (PMI) capabilities ensure the specified alloy is the one you receive, guaranteed

Extreme Temperatures &
High Pressures

From boiler components to refinery pressure vessels, your equipment must maintain structural integrity under immense stress. Our ASME-certified fabrication processes and AWS-qualified welders ensure that every weldment meets the highest standards for strength and durability, preventing failures and ensuring safety.

Regulatory Compliance &
Quality Assurance

In highly regulated industries, documentation and compliance are non-negotiable. Our ISO 9001:2015 certified Quality Management System provides complete material traceability (MTRs), documented weld maps, and comprehensive inspection reports, delivering a “spec-ready” component that satisfies the most stringent quality audits.

Our Solution: Mitigating Risk Through Verifiable Fabrication Excellence

We build components engineered to interrupt the cycle of failure. Our approach transforms fabrication quality from a liability into your core asset for long-term reliability, built on a foundation of certified processes and deep metallurgical expertise.

  • Certified Welding Excellence: Our AWS-certified welders use precision GTAW to create flawless, corrosion-free welds that maintain material integrity.
  • Superior Surface Finishing: Our chemical finishing and passivation processes fully restore the steel’s protective layer for maximum corrosion resistance.
  • Expertise in Advanced Alloys: We are experts in fabricating a full spectrum of advanced alloys (Duplex, Hastelloy), preserving their critical properties.

Proven Applications Across the
Energy & Chemical Sectors

We demonstrate fluency in the specific language and technical demands of your sector by building the components that power and supply the world.

Power Generation

We are a critical partner for fossil fuel and renewable energy projects. Our fabrications are found in the most demanding applications, from offshore oil and gas to fuel cells.

Oil & Gas

From upstream to downstream, we build for durability in the world’s most corrosive environments. Our expertise includes fabricating Super Duplex stainless steel components and API-compliant storage tanks designed to high sulfur and chloride content.

Chemical Processing

We provide solutions that ensure material compatibility and prevent corrosion that could lead to dangerous leaks or product contamination. Our expertise in high-nickel alloys like C-276 ensures performance in the most aggressive acid environments, while our sanitary welding capabilities deliver the crevice-free, smooth surfaces required for maximal corrosion resistance.

Air Handling and Filtration Systems

We are a key partner in fabricating robust components for industrial air handling, filtration, and pollution control systems. We specialize in building large-scale, corrosion-resistant structures like
Wet ESPs, essential in the power generation industry. These critical applications demand deep expertise in forming and welding specialty materials like AL6XN, which is necessary to withstand highly acidic and corrosive environments.
