FABRICATION WELDING
Therser (UK) Ltd, Walley Street, Burslem, Stoke on Trent,Staffordshire,ST6 2AH, UK
How It Works
Our fabrication service is
completely customer focused,
encompassing the full process from
concept to product testing, through
to installation and after sales
support. Commissioning custom-
made fabrication work from
Therser is fast and efficient. Our
engineers use AutoCAD software to
design your component, allowing
regular communication with our
customers prior to the
manufacturing stage. Component
designs can be tweaked and
modified according to your
requirements and put through
rigorous virtual testing to ensure
high performance.
Standards
The Advantage of BS.EN.ISO 9606-1
standard
All these welding methods can be
employed in our work, but the most
relevant technique is fusion welding,
which is the area of competence
covered by BS.EN.ISO 9606-1. This is a
harmonised standard, meaning it
complies with standards expected
under BS, ISO and CEN rules. In other
words, a kiln fusion welded under
BS.EN.ISO 9606-1 criteria can safely be
used anywhere in the world.
It takes high-quality workmanship to be able to weld to the rigorous standards of any
ISO accreditation, including 9606-1. Any customers who want to know their welding
processes – whether they are arc welds, laser welds, induction welds, oxyfuel or solid
reactant welds – are being carried out by a fully accredited contractor should seek out a
BS.EN.ISO 9606-1 compliant manufacturer.
Heavy Fabrication
The heavy fabrication process involves a
number of different steps, including design,
material selection, cutting, welding, bending,
and finishing. Each of these steps requires
specialized equipment and skilled technicians to
ensure that the final product meets the
necessary specifications and quality standards.
One of the key advantages of heavy fabrication is its ability to produce structures that are both
strong and durable. Because these structures are often exposed to extreme conditions, such as
high winds, heavy rain, and corrosive materials, it is essential that they are able to withstand
these forces and remain intact over time. Heavy fabrication techniques and materials are
specifically designed to provide this level of strength and durability, making them an essential
part of many construction and manufacturing projects.
Fabrication Processes We can Offer
Extrusion: Extrusion is a process of forcing a material through a die
to create a long, continuous shape with a constant cross section. The
material can be metal, plastic, or rubber. Extrusion can be used to
create products such as tubing, rods, and profiles.
Sheet metal fabrication: Sheet metal fabrication is a process of
cutting, bending, and forming thin sheets of metal to create various
products. Sheet metal can be cut using laser cutting, waterjet
cutting, or shearing. Bending can be done using press brakes or roll
forming. Forming can be done using punching or stamping.
3D printing: 3D printing is a process of creating objects by layering
material using a 3D printer. The printer reads a digital file and creates
the object by depositing material layer by layer. 3D printing can be
used to create complex geometries, prototypes, and custom parts.
Welding Types

What Jobs Therser Can Do. What
Code And Processes Do We Adhere To
Heavy fabrication is the specialized creation of large, robust structures and components.
This guide provides insights into the processes, testing, and considerations throughout
heavy fabrication.
Step 1: Planning and Design
• Understand project requirements.
• Collaborate on detailed designs.
• Select suitable materials.
Step 2: Material Preparation
• Procure materials meeting standards.
• Inspect for integrity.
• Precisely cut materials.
Step 3: Forming and Shaping
• Bend or curve plates and sections.
• Prepare components for welding.
Step 4: Welding and Assembly
• Accurately fit and align components.
• Utilize appropriate welding methods.
• Follow welding codes and standards.
Step 5: Surface Treatment and Finishing
• Achieve desired surface finish.
• Remove contaminants and apply protective coatings.
Step 6: Quality Inspection and Testing
• Perform non-destructive testing.
• Verify dimensional accuracy.
• Conduct visual inspection.
• Assess weld quality.
• Use dye penetrant testing.
• Apply pressure and fatigue testing.
• Qualify welding procedures.
• Maintain comprehensive documentation.
Step 7: Transport, Installation, and Integration
• Safely package and transport.
• Ensure proper installation.
• Perform site integration and testing.
Heavy fabrication involves rigorous quality
inspection and testing procedures to ensure
the structural integrity, dimensional accuracy,
and performance of the fabricated product.
Along with non-destructive testing
techniques and dimensional checks, visual
inspection, weld quality assessment,
hardness testing, and other specialized tests
help verify the quality of the fabrication.
Thorough documentation and traceability
further ensure compliance with standards
and provide a reference for future
inspections or repairs. By implementing
comprehensive quality checks and
inspections, you can confidently deliver high-
quality, reliable heavy fabrications that meet
customer specifications and industry
requirements.
