Large vessel fabrication brings together material preparation, fit-up, welding, and the handling of substantial assemblies. At Alps Welding, we manufacture custom vessels for industrial projects, with each fabrication scope guided by the customer’s requirements.
This recently fabricated and painted carbon steel buffer vessel for the oil and gas industry is one example. Measuring 96 inches in diameter × 110 inches tangent-to-tangent, it showcases our capability to manufacture and handle large custom vessels.
Project Specifications
- Equipment: Custom buffer vessel
- Industry: Oil and gas
- Material: Carbon steel
- Diameter: 96 inches
- Tangent-to-tangent length: 110 inches
The tangent-to-tangent dimension measures the distance between the tangent lines of the vessel heads, rather than the vessel’s overall length.
Custom Vessel Fabrication at Alps
This project illustrates the work involved in bringing individual components together into a large fabricated assembly. The vessel’s size also makes handling an important part of the shop process, as shown during positioning above the trailer supports.
Our fabrication capabilities extend beyond buffer vessels. Alps Welding manufactures custom vessels and process equipment for a range of industrial applications, working to the dimensions, materials, connection arrangements, and fabrication requirements specified for each project.
Tailored to Your Project Requirements
Whether your project calls for a buffer vessel or another type of industrial vessel, defining the intended service and technical requirements helps establish the fabrication scope.
As a custom vessel manufacturer, Alps Welding works with customers to review their drawings and specifications and discuss how the equipment can be manufactured to meet their project needs.
