Fabrication
Precision stainless-steel fabrication and welding support for industrial and sanitary applications. Fortis Industrial Solutions provides fabrication and welding support for new equipment, system modifications, repairs, and upgrades across food & beverage, pharmaceutical, biotech, and industrial manufacturing environments. We support projects ranging from small on-site repairs to complete custom fabrication, delivering durable, accurately built components that integrate seamlessly into existing systems. Our work is executed with a strong focus on fit-up, weld quality, finish requirements, and long-term performance.
What We Fabricate
- Tanks & Vessels: storage, process, and specialty tanks
- Process Piping & Pipe Spools: sanitary and utility systems
- Skids & Pump Bases: integrated process assemblies
- Frames & Equipment Supports: structural and load-bearing
- Platforms, Staircases & Ladders: OSHA-aware access systems
- Railings & Handrails: safety-focused fabrication
- Flow Boards & Process Equipment: custom process solutions
All fabrication is coordinated to align with design intent, site constraints, and installation requirements.
Featured Fabrication
Repairs, Modifications & On-Site Support
In addition to new fabrication, we provide repair and modification services to extend equipment life and restore system performance.
- Weld repairs and reinforcement
- Equipment modifications and retrofits
- Replacement components
- Support during shutdowns and maintenance windows
On-site services are planned to minimize operational disruption while maintaining safety and quality expectations.
Quality, Fit-Up & Execution
Our fabrication approach emphasizes:
- Accurate fit-up and alignment
- Clean, consistent weld execution
- Integration with existing systems
- Practical fabrication decisions that reduce installation issues
Fabrication & Welding Capabilities
Capabilities depend on joint design, access, and service requirements. Share drawings/specs and we’ll confirm approach during quoting.
Fabrication Capabilities
Our fabrication capabilities are structured to support both custom builds and project-driven fabrication.
