LIGHT FABRICATION
The Light Fabrication Department supports metal fabrication projects in material thicknesses of 3/8” and thinner. This is accomplished in a variety of material types and to various industry fabrication standards. This department also supports fabrication and welding for close tolerance components and assemblies that require final machining. One of the specialties of this department is the fabrication and welding of shipboard ventilation.
