CBM’s fabrication department cuts, forms, welds and finishes large weldments, structural assemblies, lifting devices, containers, skids and industrial components. Our welders are certified to ASME and AWS standards and work in MIG, TIG and submerged arc, on materials from carbon and stainless steel to Inconel, Hastelloy X, Waspaloy and titanium.
Fabrication shares the building with our machine shop, quality department and paint and sandblasting, so a weldment can be cut, welded, machined, inspected and coated without leaving the facility.

Fabrication, machining and inspection under one roof
A weldment that has to be machined is cut, welded, machined, inspected and coated in the same 250,000 sq ft facility. That avoids shipping heavy parts between a fabricator and a machine shop and keeps the whole job on one schedule.
Twenty-two overhead cranes with a lifting capacity of up to 100,000 lb move parts between departments. Crane capacity is a handling limit; the right maximum size for your weldment depends on its geometry and the machines it needs, so send the drawing and we will confirm.
