Industrial Steel Fabrication Services

T BAILEY LLC is a heavy industrial steel fabrication company based in Anacortes, Washington. Since 1991 we have fabricated tanks, pressure vessels, piling, penstock, and custom steel structures for large-scale industrial projects. We run the full arc of industrial steel fabrication in one location, and a project moves from engineering into welding, surface preparation, coating, and testing without leaving our factory. Handling every phase with our own crews gives engineers, estimators, and project managers one qualified steel fabricator to hold accountable from raw plate through field installation. For buyers working in one of the most demanding corners of iron and steel manufacturing, our steel fabrication shop pairs large-format capacity with certified welding and in-house quality control.

Full-Service Steel Fabrication Services

T BAILEY LLC delivers custom steel fabrication across a broad range of heavy industrial products. Each line below runs through the same fabrication, coating, and testing operation, and each has a dedicated service page.

  • Steel storage tanks: Steel storage tank fabrication in carbon and stainless steel for fuel, chemical, water, and petroleum service.
  • Field-erected tanks: Field-erected tanks and reservoirs assembled on site when a tank exceeds shop-transport dimensions.
  • Pressure vessels: ASME Section VIII vessels finished with the U-Stamp, plus alterations and repairs under our NBIC R-Stamp.
  • Penstock and piping: Custom penstock, casing, and piling pipe rolled and welded to project geometry for hydro, water conveyance, and DOT work.
  • Industrial steel stacks: Fabrication, repair, and replacement of tall steel stacks to the height and diameter a site requires.
  • Civil construction: Structural steel fabrication and general contracting for foundations, seismic upgrades, and complex site work.
  • Tank repair and maintenance: Tank repair and maintenance on in-service tanks, from corrosion repair and floor replacement to code upgrades.
  • Custom steel structures: Steel structures fabrication for pile cap frames, pontoons, siphons, ramps, and one-off industrial assemblies.

Because these services share one shop and one quality program, a client can combine several scopes on a single build without coordinating separate vendors.

In-House Coatings, Blasting, and Metallizing

Shop-Built Tanks

Our industrial coating shop sits alongside the fabrication floor. Fabricated steel moves straight from welding into blasting and coating, and it never leaves the campus for an outside coater. Crews prep with an automated blasting system and apply the coating each steel metal fabrication job requires, from zinc-rich primers and epoxies to plural component and vinyl ester systems. We also apply thermal spray metallizing in zinc or aluminum for long-term corrosion protection, part of the same heavy metal fabrication capability that handles our largest weldments. Keeping prep and paint in the same operation gives our clients tighter control over corrosion performance and turnaround.

Fabrication Equipment and Shop Capacity

Industrial Steel Stacks

Our Anacortes campus is built for heavy steel fabrication at scale. Large-format plate rolls and CNC plasma cutting tables shape plate to precise dimensions. Tank and vessel turning rolls, large capacity cranes, and multiple welding manipulators let our crews weld thick, heavy sections that many regional shops cannot handle. We also form tank heads and other pressed components in a range of geometries, matched to the vessel or tank they finish. This equipment base is what lets us take on large steel structures fabrication and keep it on schedule.

Regulated petroleum, water, and fuel projects call for a steel fabrication company with credentials that hold up to outside scrutiny. Our quality program is led by a Director of Quality Assurance and staffed by certified welding and coatings inspectors who monitor production at every stage.

  • ASME U-Stamp and NBIC R-Stamp: New pressure vessel fabrication plus authorized alteration and repair, registered with the National Board.
  • API 620, 650, and 12F: Petroleum and aboveground storage tank certification.
  • UL 142, F921, and 2085: Aboveground, secondary-contained, and protected tank listings.
  • AWWA D100 and AWS D1.1: Municipal water tank and structural welding code compliance.
  • AISC Certified Fabricator: Carries all three Sophisticated Paint Endorsements, a pairing few shops in the region hold.
  • SSPC QP3: Certified for shop-applied coatings.
  • CWB Certification (CSA W47.1): Structural welding certification for Canadian-market projects.
  • CalTrans Class R and N, WSDOT QPL: Approved for state DOT steel pipe piling.

 

Annual third-party audits keep these credentials current for code-governed work.

Industries We Serve

T BAILEY LLC fabricates for sectors where steel has to perform under pressure, corrosion, or public-safety requirements. Our project history spans oil and gas, water and wastewater, marine, and energy. We also serve infrastructure and government agencies such as the DOT and the Army Corps of Engineers. Water utilities rely on us for water storage tanks and reservoirs, and petroleum clients turn to us for oil storage tank fabrication built to their product and code. Whatever the sector, we match the material, coating, and code to the service the finished steel will see.
