Your data center project demands a fabrication partner who understands the stakes.
At Boardman, our team specializes in ASME-certified pressure vessel fabrication and heavy plate fabrication for data center cooling infrastructure, including chilled-water buffer tanks, hydronic expansion tanks, air and dirt separators, and compressed air receivers. Every vessel is documented, tested, and compliant.
Cooling is where data center projects succeed or fail. Your data center cooling system fabrication requires zero-leak tolerances, large-scale fluid handling, and mechanical precision that leaves no margin for error.
At Boardman, we fabricate complete cooling infrastructure in a controlled shop environment, so your systems arrive tested, documented, and ready to integrate.
These are our strongest fit for data center work, and the application where ASME certification matters most. We fabricate:
Every vessel is fabricated to ASME Section VIII Division I or II, stamped, and shipped with the documentation your inspection team needs on arrival.
Entrained air and debris in hydronic loops reduce efficiency and accelerate equipment wear. At Boardman, we fabricate air separators, dirt separators, and combination units for chilled-water and condenser-water systems. ASME certification requirements depend on operating pressure and vessel size. We will confirm the applicable code path during your project review.
Maintenance air and pneumatic control systems in data centers require reliable, properly rated compressed air storage. Our team at Boardman fabricates ASME-coded compressed air receiver tanks built to your pressure, volume, and connection specifications. Vessels include visible pressure gauge provisions and spring-loaded safety valve connections to meet OSHA requirements.
Large data centers with chilled-water reserves or load-shifting strategies may require thermal energy storage vessels. Depending on system pressure and size, these may require ASME-rated pressure vessel fabrication. Contact us to discuss your specifications, and we will confirm the appropriate code path.
At Boardman, our core capability in the data center market is ASME-certified pressure vessel fabrication. This is where our certifications, QA/QC process, and heavy plate expertise directly serve data center cooling and utility systems.
We do not fabricate atmospheric storage tanks, bladder tanks, or clean-agent fire suppression cylinders.

When you are evaluating pressure vessel fabrication partners for your data center build, the questions you are really asking are: Can they meet my specs? Will they hold the schedule? Will there be surprises?
At Boardman, our answer is built into how we work.
Your timeline is protected. Your spec is honored. Your documentation is complete.
At Boardman, our skilled craftsmen hold the certifications that matter most on a mission-critical project. Your fabricated components go through a defined quality process, not a checklist that gets filed and forgotten.
Certifications and Standards:
You do not have to chase documentation, because it is already a part of what you receive.
When your project carries this much weight, you deserve straight answers before you ever submit an RFQ. These are the questions data center project managers and facilities engineers ask most often. If you do not see yours here, our team is ready to walk you through the details.
Off-site fabrication moves most of the construction work into a controlled shop environment, eliminating weather delays, reducing on-site labor dependence, and compressing your overall deployment timeline. Because work happens under one roof with a dedicated quality process, your modules arrive tested, documented, and ready to integrate. You get more predictability, fewer field surprises, and a faster path to uptime.
Next-generation cooling demands, including Direct-to-Chip and immersion cooling architectures, require precision-fabricated distribution manifolds, leak-tested piping assemblies, and specialized welding of stainless steel and copper alloys. Off-the-shelf components rarely match your rack density, flow rates, or spatial tolerances. Custom fabrication means your cooling infrastructure is engineered to your exact specifications from the start, not adapted after the fact.
Yes. Modular enclosures and containerized solutions can be fabricated to meet defined security classifications, environmental ingress ratings, operating temperature ranges, and structural load requirements. Your dimensional layout, access provisions, ventilation strategy, and any site-specific compliance requirements are all engineering inputs that Boardman builds around. You are not selecting from a catalog; you are working from your own requirements.
Every cooling system fabrication at Boardman goes through hydro-testing to verify pressure integrity, non-destructive testing (NDT) including radiographic and ultrasonic methods, and Positive Material Identification (PMI) to confirm alloy composition before any assembly leaves the facility. Full dimensional inspection is completed at the final stage. You receive a complete documentation package with weld maps, material certifications, test records, and inspection reports, so your team and inspectors have everything they need upon arrival.
