Key Challenges
Clad plate construction required separate qualified procedures for the carbon steel backing and the Alloy 400 cladding, restoring the corrosion resistant layer across every seam. Controlling distortion over a 10.7m length was critical to ensure both sections aligned accurately with the existing column. Full material traceability was maintained throughout to meet HIC requirements.
Replacement work demands precision from the first cut. This project demonstrates our capability in clad fabrication and in delivering equipment that fits first time, every time.
