Heavy Fabrication & Welding

Certified welding and structural fabrication up to 35×7×7 metres and 160 tons, for offshore, marine, energy, and defence applications.

Overview

Heavy fabrication, sized for structures other workshops turn away.

We weld and fabricate large-scale steel structures for offshore, marine, energy, and defence applications where failure is not an option. Every structure is built under EN 3834-2 and EN 1090-2 quality systems, with full material traceability from raw stock to finished product.

FAQ

Questions procurement teams ask

What is the maximum size and weight for heavy fabrication?

Up to 35×7×7 metres (length×width×height) and 160 tons, fabricated in our 18,000 m² Tallinn workshop.

What welding processes and standards do you use?

135/136 (MIG/MAG), TIG, and SAW with penetration welding up to 100 mm. Certified to EN 3834-2 and EN 1090-2.

What materials can you weld?

Carbon steel, stainless steel, duplex, super duplex, titanium, Inconel, and Hastelloy.

Do you provide surface treatment for offshore and subsea components?

Yes. Complete surface treatment from automated shot-blasting to industrial coating systems compliant with NORSOK M-501 and C5-M extreme anti-corrosion standards.

What documentation ships with a fabricated component?

Material certificates (EN 10204 3.1, 3.2 on request), weld procedure documentation, and NDT reports (VT, PT, MT, UT) performed by certified partners.

Process

From drawing to dispatched structure

Every fabrication project starts with a design-for-manufacturing review, not a price-per-kilo calculation. Our engineers check the drawing against real-world weldability before quoting: weld access, distortion behaviour in thick sections, sequencing that keeps a 100-tonne structure within tolerance as it grows. If we see a detail that will cost you money in production — an inaccessible joint, a tolerance stack that fights the welding sequence — we flag it at the quoting stage, when changing it costs nothing.

Production follows a controlled sequence: material receipt with heat-number verification, cutting and edge preparation, fit-up with dimensional checks at each subassembly, welding under EN 3834-2 procedure control, and post-weld NDT (VT, PT, MT, UT) performed by certified partners — an independent set of eyes on every critical weld, which is exactly how you want it. Surface treatment happens in-house: automated shot-blasting followed by coating systems built up to NORSOK M-501 or C5-M specification, with film thickness measured and logged per layer.

What leaves the workshop is a structure with its complete paper trail: material certificates matched to heat numbers, weld maps, NDT reports, dimensional protocols, and coating logs. Twenty kilometres later it is at Muuga Harbour.
