Custom Marine Fabrication Products From T BAILEY INC

We believe in consistently fabricating only the highest quality custom carbon steel products, some of the products we produce are:

Steel Ramp & Pontoon Systems For The Marine Industry

Our steel ramp and pontoon systems are fabricated from the highest quality carbon steel and are highly customizable so as to meet the unique demands of your job. Our ramp and pontoon capabilities are:

• Diameter: 4’ to 16’ in diameter.
• Length: 10’ to 100’ long.
• Design services: We do not offer total design services, but are happy to give you feedback on your designs and constructibility of the product.

If you are curious about the ramp and pontoon fabrication process, here is a brief explanation of the steps your product will go through:

1. Our trained professionals cut the steel plate for your project with our CNC plasma cutters.
2. The plate gets rolled into cylinders and the longitudinal seam is welded.
3. Cylinders are assembled into their final section lengths and capped via state-of-the-art submerged arc welding process.
4. The final product is blasted and coated to protect it from environmental conditions per your specified requirements.  Many times this includes metalizing prior to application of the coatings.
5. After rigorous testing and quality control, the steel ramp or pontoon system is shipped to your job site.

Pile Cap Frames With Interconnecting Pipe Sections

T BAILEY INC. fabricates the best pile cap frames in the Northwest — our in-house SNT-TC-1A Level II inspector ensuring full penetration of all welds where specified. We can fabricate pile cap frames for new or already existing structures and can customize our fabrication processes to meet the demands of your project. Our pile cap frame capabilities include:

• Joint thickness: Up to 3.5” thick.
• Diameter: 1’ to 10’ in diameter.
• Length: 10’ to 100’ long.
• Pile cap section weight: Up to and occasionally exceeding 200 tons (400,000 lbs).

Fabricating pile cap frames can be a massive process, sometimes requiring custom burning machines and further customizations depending on customer needs. In general though, pile cap fabrication flows in these steps:

1. The steel plate is cut, etched and rolled into cylinders.
2. If required, the material is formed.
3. Our trained professionals use state-of-the-art welding processes, including submerged arc welding, to attach and weld the pieces together.
4. The pile cap is coated per you specifications and our in-house NACE Level 3 Certified inspector makes sure that coating is applied to specification.
5. Lastly, the final product is subjected to intensive testing and quality control before shipment to the job site.

Breasting dolphin caps are integral in protecting a dock or pier from the kinetic energies of a moored ship. Here at T BAILEY INC. we are proud to fabricate the highest quality dolphin caps in the Northwest. Our dolphin cap fabrication capabilities include, but are not limited to:

• Thickness: ¼” to 4” thick.
• Length: 10’ to 30’ long.

Because dolphin caps are so vital to the longevity of a dock or pier, we work closely with your engineers to ensure that our detailed fabrication drawings produces dolphin caps that meet the demands of your project and exceed your expectations. The dolphin cap fabrication process typically flows in this order:

1. Our skilled professionals cut and etch the steel plate.
2. If required, the material is formed.
3. Our trained professionals use state-of-the-art welding processes, including submerged arc welding, to attach and weld sections together.
4. Our industrial coatings division blasts and coats the dolphin cap to ensure maximum protection from the harsh environment of the ocean.
5. Lastly, the completed dolphin caps are subjected to intensive testing and quality control before shipment to the job site.
