T BAILEY LLC is a custom steel plate fabricator providing precision steel plate cutting services and heavy-gauge plate fabrication from our 120,000-square-foot facility in Anacortes, Washington. With over 35 years of custom steel plate fabrication experience, our team works with carbon and specialty steel plates to deliver components built for strength, dimensional accuracy, and long-term performance.
Steel Plate Fabrication Services
T BAILEY LLC provides full-scope plate fabrication and steel plate cutting services for a wide range of industrial and structural applications. Our steel fabrication services cover the following:
- Tanks and vessels: Shop-built tanks, field-erected tanks, pressure vessels, and tank repair and maintenance for extending the service life of existing steel plate assets.
- Pipe and conveyance: Casing and piling pipe, penstock and bifurcations, and other conveyance structures fabricated to project specifications.
- Structural steel and plate fabrication: Bridge components, building frames, and heavy infrastructure projects, including heavy steel plate fabrication for applications that require thick-wall components and high load ratings.
- Marine and civil structures: Pontoons, steel ramps, pile-cap frames, dolphin caps, steel fenders, and other civil and military applications.
- Specialty materials: For projects requiring stainless steel plate fabrication, our team can accommodate specialty material requirements based on project specifications.
- Design and engineering: Performance and strength calculations, cost analysis, and capacity planning for tanks, reservoirs, and pressure vessels. For casing, piling, penstock, and similar applications, we provide geometry assistance, CAD modeling, and performance calculations. This mode of operation allows projects to move from design through fabrication without requiring coordination across multiple vendors.
T BAILEY LLC’s custom steel plate fabrication capabilities ensure that each project is matched to the right process and specification.
Fabrication Capabilities & Equipment
The T BAILEY LLC fabrication crew completes the entire steel plate fabrication process in-house. The sequence includes cutting plates to size, rolling, forming, drilling, conforming, joint preparation, and welding assembly. All welders are AWS D1.1 certified and qualified in submerged arc welding, gas metal arc welding, shielded metal arc welding, and dual shield welding.
Our facility is equipped to handle heavy steel plate fabrication at scale. Plate-bending rolls capable of rolling 2.75-inch-thick by 10-foot-wide steel plate allow us to form heavy-wall components that many regional fabricators cannot accommodate. CNC plasma cutting machines and 11-foot by 50-foot water-table cutters deliver precise plate steel fabrication across a range of thicknesses and geometries. Material-handling equipment includes several 20-ton overhead bridge cranes, forklifts rated up to 55 tons, and RT hydraulic cranes with a 60-ton capacity. Combined with over 120,000 square feet of production space, this equipment base supports custom steel plate fabrication for large and complex projects on schedule.
In-House Industrial Coatings
A significant advantage of working with T BAILEY LLC as your steel plate fabricator is our in-house industrial prep-and-coating facility. Parts move directly from fabrication to coatings without leaving our factory. This reduces turnaround time and eliminates the cost of transporting components to a third-party coatings provider.
Our paint shop features advanced automation designed to efficiently handle large steel plate components. Tank and vessel turning-roll sets support parts weighing up to 100 tons, and our automatic blasting system delivers consistent surface preparation across every piece. These help us to maintain tight production schedules while ensuring that coating adhesion and quality meet specification requirements.
