Our Facilities
The size and six different fabrication bays provides an ability to run many simultaneous projects without mixing them. We have a separate and partially covered hydro-testing area, and 90% of available lay-down areas are either concrete or stabilized material.
Gulf Coast Fabricators is fully compliant with all AWWA, API and ASME codes, and is an ASME code certificate holder of U and S stamps. We have National Board “R” certification to perform repairs and alterations to ASME-coded pressure vessels and boilers.
And, because all project phases are handled in-house, we can manage quality throughout fabrication and finishing. Quality assurance generates predictability and cost efficiency, for better protection of your bottom line.
Our Capabilities
From stainless steel to carbon steel pipes, you get the innovative customized solution you need. Our highly trained technical experts use state-of-the-art equipment to safely accelerate production and ensure precision and quality.
We can meet hard deadlines on any size project, offer rapid response for shutdowns and turnarounds, and are available around the clock for emergencies.
At Gulf Coast Fabricators we’re driven by training, compliance with rapidly changing laws and codes, and the adoption of new technology.
Our Vernon cutting table, for example, saves customers time and money. By computerizing cutting and drilling activities, it boosts precision, improves our flexibility and increases spool counts. Computerized tracking of pipe detailing activities keeps you informed of order progress at every step.
Material diversity is another Gulf Coast Fabricators advantage. Our dedicated nickel alloy bays allow us to eliminate any concerns of cross-contamination from carbon steels and chromes.
Our expert welders are qualified to perform hundreds of welding procedures, including submerged arc welding (SAW); gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW); gas metal arc welding (GMAW); flux core arc welding (FCAW); and, shielded metal arc welding (SMAW).
