FABRICATION SHOP
Our 30,000 square foot facility just outside the borough of Kane, PA in McKean County. Originally built as an
industrial development facility, considerable modifications were made to the electrical and lighting systems,
a weld-fume ventilation system was added, and, to improve workflow, several roll-up doors were also
installed. A large investment was made for the purchase and installation of two (2) overhead cranes, material
storage systems, hydrotesting equipment, and equipment related to the fabrication operation. Currently, the
shop can operate on two shifts with as many as thirty employees per shift. Hydrotesting and X-Ray
examination is typically performed on second shift.
