When a capital project fails, it is rarely because the steel was wrong. It fails because the fabricator did not own the outcome.
Capital project services demand a fabrication partner who treats your project the way you would. Someone who monitors every weld, flags every discrepancy before it becomes a delay, and delivers a complete documentation package you can hand to an inspector without hesitation.
That is what our team at Boardman has done since 1910. And it is what your capital project deserves.
Choosing the right fabrication partner on a capital project is one of the highest-stakes decisions your team makes. Here is why engineers keep choosing us at Boardman:
Every pressure vessel we fabricate for a capital project is built, documented, and stamped to code. The certifications are the operating standard. Our certifications include:
Your quality team and third-party inspectors need a documentation package they can stand behind. Every piece of material that enters your project is tracked. Mill certifications, weld maps, inspection records, and NDE reports are compiled throughout fabrication, not assembled at the end. You receive a complete data book at delivery.
If your drawings are finalized, Boardman works from them. If your scope is still developing, our engineering team can support design, calculations, and code compliance reviews. You control how much or how little support you need.
Some customers want weekly updates and open access to the shop floor. Others want to hand off the scope and receive a certified, compliant vessel on schedule. Boardman supports both. Your capital project fabrication experience is structured around how you work best.
Your industry shapes what your equipment has to survive. At Boardman, we have fabricated capital project services equipment for:
Whether you are a plant engineer managing an expansion, a procurement manager at an EPC firm evaluating vendors, or a reliability engineer planning a major turnaround, we understand what your project requires.
Our team fabricates complex, high-specification equipment for industrial capital projects across refining, petrochemical, chemical processing, and energy. Equipment types include:
We fabricate ASME-coded pressure vessels to Section VIII Div. I and Div. II for refining, chemical, and gas processing applications, including:
From fractionation columns to multi-tray absorbers, Boardman builds tall, complex vessels to your exact process specifications.
We fabricate structural and process components from carbon steel, stainless, low alloy, and high alloy materials using precision rolling, forming, and welding.
When a standard configuration does not exist, Boardman builds to your specifications. Work from your drawings, or let Boardman support design from the start.
When your shutdown or outage includes a pressure vessel repair or alteration, Boardman field services can execute under NBIC/ASME “R” Stamp procedures.
Most vendor risk comes from not knowing what happens after the PO is issued. Here is exactly how Boardman stewards your project from first contact to final delivery.
Submit your request for quote with drawings, specifications, and timeline. Our team reviews scope, asks clarifying questions, and provides a detailed proposal. No guesswork. No surprises in the bid.
Once the order is placed, our team reviews and approves all drawings for code compliance. If engineering support is needed, our team engages early. Material selection, code interpretations, and inspection plans are established before the first cut.
Fabrication follows a controlled, documented workflow. Each step includes quality hold points, weld inspection, NDE testing, and PMI verification where required. Your third-party inspector has an open door. Boardman coordinates directly.
Before your equipment ships, we compile a full data book: mill certifications, WPSs/PQRs, weld maps, inspection reports, ASME code forms, and nameplate data. Delivery is coordinated for route, timing, and site-readiness. You are notified at every step.
Your capital project carries real consequences. A missed weld. A delayed delivery. A documentation gap that stops an inspection cold. You need a fabrication partner who has done this before, many times, across the most demanding industries in the region, and has the work to prove it.
At Boardman, our team has spent over a century delivering ASME pressure vessels, trayed towers and columns, heavy plate fabrications, and custom equipment to refineries, chemical plants, EPC firms, and industrial manufacturers across Oklahoma, Texas, and beyond.
Pressure vessel fabrication for a capital project is not a commodity purchase.
What working with us looks like in practice:
The engineers and procurement managers who work with our team at Boardman consistently describe the same thing: confidence. Confidence that the code is right. That the schedule is real. That someone is watching.
When your capital project calls for ASME-certified pressure vessels, trayed towers, heavy plate fabrications, or custom equipment, geography should never be the reason you settle for a lesser fabricator. We are based in a 140,000-square-foot facility in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and ship to clients across all 50 states. Your equipment arrives certified, documented, and ready to install.
When the work has to happen on your site, our Boardman field services team comes to you. We offer field services to the following states:
Have a project in mind? Bring us your project details, and we will find a way to make it work.
Your capital project has a schedule. Boardman has the capacity, the certifications, and the process to meet it. Tell us about your scope. Our team will review it and come back with a clear, detailed proposal. No vague promises. No surprises after the PO.
You deserve capital project services from a fabricator who owns the outcome from first RFQ to final delivery. Let’s talk.
You have questions before committing to a fabrication partner on a capital project. That is exactly how it should be. Here are the ones engineers and procurement teams ask most.
Our team fabricates ASME pressure vessels (drums, reactors, separators, scrubbers, mol sieves, accumulators, receivers), trayed towers and columns, and heavy plate assemblies for industrial capital projects. Custom fabricated equipment and large-scale structural components are also available. Scope can be built from customer drawings or supported with Boardman engineering.
Yes. We hold ASME Section VIII Div. I and Div. II certifications and National Board “U” Stamp authorization. Every [SEM] code-compliant vessel is fabricated, inspected, and documented to ASME code requirements. Certification details are available upon request.
Yes. Boardman regularly fabricates from customer-supplied drawings. The team reviews them for code compliance and constructability before fabrication begins and flags any discrepancies early. If your drawings are still in development, Boardman’s engineering team can support the design process.
Every project is assigned a dedicated project manager who owns communication from kickoff through delivery. Updates are proactive, not reactive. Schedule milestones, inspection hold points, and delivery coordination are tracked and communicated throughout fabrication.
Our team delivers a complete data book with every project. This includes mill certifications, weld procedure specifications (WPSs), procedure qualification records (PQRs), weld maps, NDE reports, inspection records, and ASME code forms. The documentation package is assembled throughout fabrication, not compiled at the end.
Yes. At Boardman, our 140,000-square-foot facility in Oklahoma City accommodates large fabrications, and the team coordinates oversize transport planning to support safe, on-time delivery. Specific size constraints and transport logistics are reviewed during the RFQ stage.
We proudly serve refining, oil and gas, chemical processing, petrochemical, gas processing, energy, and EPC firms. The team has deep familiarity with the specifications, documentation requirements, and schedules common in these industries.
Earlier is always better. For complex capital project services scope, reaching out 6 to 12 months before your required delivery date allows time for proper engineering review, material procurement, and fabrication scheduling. If your timeline is tighter, contact Boardman to discuss what is feasible.
