Provide a Turnkey Solution with Engineering & Custom Fabrication Design

When your team needs complete custom fabrication design services—including engineering all the way through fabrication and shipping—you can rest easy knowing we have the complete services you need. You’ll find that some fabricators do only that—fabrication. At Boardman, we have the ability to enter the project from the very beginning, at the engineering and design phase, and see it through to completion. Get in touch with us for a custom metal design engineering quote.

Your Project Will Move Quickly, from Concept to Completion

Guided by our primary principle of responsible stewardship, your drum, accumulator, demethanizer, or another piece of equipment will be closely attended to from the very beginning—wherever that beginning might be. Need a complete product concept? We’ll create one. Need a trusted consultant for an existing design? We can provide that, too.

Right out of the gate, that quick start will serve as the foundation for the rest of the project. We know, through experience, that when urgency and accuracy are present from day one, the rest of the project will follow.

Are you already imagining how simple the start of your next project can be with Boardman? Go ahead and contact us so you can discuss it with one of our engineers today.

Your Engineer Should Engineer Costs Out of a Design

What’s the most proactive way to reduce the costs associated with any custom fabrication project? From the beginning, of course, with predicted product performance adjustments and the early resolution of challenges involving dimensions, materials, and other critical design considerations.

That’s what our engineers are known for—making recommendations for performance and cost improvements. Our fabricators will be given a design to satisfy your demands and meet or exceed ASME requirements while staying within your budget.

We’ll do that with the help of the latest design tools and methods, including AutoCAD Mechanical 6 Power Pack and Code Compress Pressure Vessel Design software for ASME pressure vessels (ASME Section VIII Division I and Division II) and mechanical design of heat exchangers.

That’s the kind of foundation your project deserves. All it takes is one call to get started.

Experience Complete Custom Fabrication Design & Engineering

We’re your source for design and engineering for upstream, midstream, and downstream projects, with complete tank and vessel engineering capabilities, seismic and wind-load calculations, and more. But that’s just the beginning of what you’ll find at Boardman.

We’re also your source for stewardship through every phase, with the utmost attention paid to detail, timeline, and budget.

Isn’t it time to raise your fabrication expectations? Starting with design and engineering? Let us show you the Boardman difference, firsthand.

Definitely a great team effort between HFS and Boardman to get this knocked out quickly with no mistakes.  Appreciate you and your teams help getting this across the finish line!

“I am glad you guys do the newsletters. Educate AND do the work. Most don’t do this. It is similar to what Dave Ramsay says about looking for a Financial Advisor… look for one with a heart of a teacher.”

Equipment Engineer

Fluor

“I would like to go out of my way to say this is the quickest I have seen a vessel come together. Your ability to manage this on such short notice does not go unnoticed and definitely will earn you some more business. Your professional approach and ability to keep this moving was amazing! I was hoping to see this thing through to the end and see about getting some Guiness world record trophy on our walls.”

Expeditor

Worley

“Your engineering team has gone above and beyond for our current projects. We have thrown quite a few changes at them and they have dug into code details that are not normally required to satisfy the requests of some of our SME folks. They are always available, even when they’re off or on weekends to help answer any urgent questions. I tried to find something we can do to help recognize the extra efforts, but could not come up with anything. Thank you for the efforts and willingness to work with us so closely on these urgent jobs.”

“It was great pleasure and it was sure a huge effort pulled by Boardman organization. Promoting such events are very helpful to the engineering community in general but very few places realize the same. Boardman being exceptional and very hospitable place to be for this event. I want to say Thank You Boardman!”

“The class was an excellent use of time and has increased my industry knowledge. Good mix of both end user and design engineer attendance which drove discussions into new directions. I will highly recommend to my firm for attendance next year.”

Mechanical Engineer

S&B Engineering

“Thank you and everyone at Boardman for an excellent 2 days of training and exceptional hospitality. While it gave me the opportunity to get out of the office for 2 days, it was also a great training/refreshing opportunity for me and on top of it, I got to visit your facility, which I think is quite impressive. Hope to have some more work in your shop soon. There are several folks here who were amazed when I told them that you guys had welding stations set up and each of us got to weld and try out as many as 4 welding processes. Please keep me posted on the next training session.”

Vessel Engineer

“I just wanted to share some photos of the Deisobutonizer being lifted into place yesterday. None of this would have been possible without your efforts in both the manufacturing and transport of the tower. This is the largest structure on the project and you all deserve a lot of credit for this milestone. It was not only a pleasure to work with you all on this fabrication and hauling to site of the monstrosity but it was a privilege to have such a team behind us to make this happen with no incident and what on the surface seemed child’s play. You all should be very proud of yourselves and your collective teams and firms, without you none of this was even conceivable.”

Materials & Logistics

Cenovus Superior Refinery

“I worked with Boardman on a project involving multiple vessels. The team’s impressive knowledge of ASME Section VIII Div 1 was critical to the success of the project. I enjoyed seeing the vessels in person during an engineering design course at the Boardman facility. The team always kept me in the loop and ensured quality work from fabrication through shipment.”

Mechanical Engineer

Black & Veatch

“Boardman was great to work with from the initial bidding phase through procurement. It is clear that they value relationships and are very professional. I have worked with Boardman in the past, and they continue to meet the requirements of our projects and owners. I value our relationship and hope to continue to work with them in the future.”

Sr. Procurement Manager
