Fabrication of a Carbon Steel Water Pump Trailer for the Water Front Construction Industry
At Copelands Inc., we specialize in custom steel fabrication and welding services for a variety of industries. With over 48 years of experience, our customers rely on us for quality fabrications, manufactured and delivered to their specifications.
This water pump trailer was fabricated from carbon steel for a customer in the waterfront construction industry. Steel parts were sawed, laser cut, and formed on our in-house machinery and welded to the customer’s specifications. When finished, the trailer was coated with satin black paint and weighed 1,700 lbs. The trailer features built-in fuel tanks and meets tolerances as tight as ±0.060″. The trailer allows the customer to pump water from the waterfront while continuing to be able to maneuver the pump.
Custom projects of this size can be fabricated and delivered with an average turnaround time of 8-10 weeks.
Fabrication of a Carbon Steel Lifting Lug
At Copelands, our customers have been turning to us to fabricate their custom steel designs for over 48 years.
These carbon steel lifting lugs were fabricated for the shipping/freight of various metal products using our custom steel laser cutting and welding capabilities. The pieces are laser cut and flame cut from thick steel plate, and welded to the customer’s specifications. Our CNC laser cutting equipment can process material up to 1.25” thick and 10’ x 20’ wide. In addition, we also use ultra-sonic and magnetic particle NDE (nondestructive examination) processes to ensure the quality of all weldments.
These lifting lugs are manufactured in quantities of 20 to 120 per order. The average turnaround time of this type of project is 3-4 weeks. At Copelands, our extensive fabrication experience and range of metalworking equipment allow us to serve a variety of industries across the globe.
Fabricated Carbon Steel Slurry Cone for the Mining Industry
When a customer in the mining industry needed a custom carbon steel slurry cone fabricated, they relied on Copelands’ 48+ years of experience in metalworking.
This project required a variety of fabrication services including laser cutting, plasma cutting, sawing, press brake forming, and welding. Our experienced fabricators met tolerances on this project as tight as ±0.060″, with the finished slurry cone weighing over 200 lbs.
At Copelands, we specialize in custom projects and work with our customers to make their designs a reality. We can work with thick, heavy, sheets of steel that are difficult to handle and machine. Our plasma cutting work tables are capable of holding sheets as large as 10′ x 30′, and our CNC saws can process work pieces up to 8,000 lbs. Turnaround time on a project this size is approximately 3-4 weeks for delivery within the US.
Fabrication of a Carbon Steel Water Injection Ring
Copelands Inc. is experienced in all facets of metal fabrication including custom steel pipe rolling, laser cutting, drilling, sawing, and welding.
This carbon steel water injection ring was produced from A36 Steel plate and 3” schedule 40 steel pipe. This project was produced to customer specifications with tolerances of ±0.090″. It was produced as a one-time project with a turnaround time of approximately 3 weeks.
Our innovative fabrication processes and advanced CNC equipment allow us to produce custom projects without labor-intensive manual machining processes that require extensive set-ups at multiple machines. This saves us time, which allows us to provide quick turnaround of custom fabricated projects at an economic price point. Our facility and equipment are also set up to accommodate heavy steel plates, allowing us to serve a variety of industries.
Laser Cutting of a Carbon Steel Tube Sheet
At Copelands, we specialize in the fabrication of custom-designed components and equipment that are difficult to machine using traditional metalworking methods. Utilizing our custom CNC laser cutting equipment, we can make precise cuts on thick steel plates.
For this project, we cut a circular pattern into 0.5″ thick carbon steel to fabricate a heavy-duty tube sheet. The finished sheet weighs 250 lbs. and can be produced with a one week lead time.
Many laser cutters can only process steel up to 6mm (less than ¼”), but our PlateLaser can cut mild steel or stainless steel up to 1″ thick and 10’ x 20’ wide. Our facility is equipped with cranes that can lift up to 10 tons. Even with this large-scale project, we met tolerances as tight as ±.005″.
