Capability 02 / 06 / Stainless and TIG

Stainless steel pipework and TIG welding.

TIG welding on stainless process and cooling lines, including furnace pipework for Rolls-Royce in Sheffield, and hygienic stainless for pharmaceutical and food plant.

Stainless steel pipework and welding

Stainless pipework is unforgiving. A cooling line on a furnace, a hygienic process line in a food or pharmaceutical plant, or a demin water run on a power station all depend on the quality of the welds, and on the pipework being fabricated and installed by people who work in stainless every week rather than occasionally.

KBVI fabricates and TIG welds stainless process and cooling lines, and has done so on furnace cooling and HVAC pipework for Rolls-Royce in Sheffield. The same capability covers stainless process lines for pharmaceutical and food manufacturing plant, fabricated off site and installed around live production.

Straight answers.

What buyers ask about stainless steel pipework and welding.

Do you weld stainless on site?

Yes. TIG welding on stainless process and cooling lines is done on site as well as in fabrication, including the furnace pipework at Rolls-Royce in Sheffield.

Can you do hygienic stainless for food or pharmaceutical plant?

Yes. Hygienic stainless process lines are fabricated and welded to spec for pharmaceutical plant, clean process areas and food and beverage manufacturing, fabricated off site and installed around live production.

Do you also work in carbon steel?

Yes. Carbon and stainless steel are both fabricated, welded and installed, often on the same job.
