Plate Work Manufacturing
Plate work manufacturers cut, form, weld and finish heavy steel plate into custom fabrications such as machine bases, pressure vessels, structural frames and industrial hoppers. For a shop that receives engineered drawings and customer specifications, the specialists turn incoming orders into job packets with cut lists and weld procedures, schedule jobs on available equipment and certified welders, generate material requisitions, track in-process quality and inspection points, and prepare shipping and test documentation. Welding procedures, material certifications, welder qualifications and customer-specified inspections remain with the shop supervisor and quality manager.
