About Metal Fabrication in Louisiana

Louisiana is a national leader in heavy industrial fabrication, driven primarily by the massive petrochemical industry concentrated along the Mississippi River corridor between Baton Rouge and New Orleans. This "Chemical Corridor" is home to refineries, chemical plants, and LNG facilities that require ASME code pressure vessels, storage tanks, heat exchangers, process piping, and structural steel fabricated to the highest industry standards. The state's Gulf Coast location also supports a significant marine and offshore fabrication industry. Shipyards and offshore fabrication yards in the New Orleans, Houma, and Lake Charles areas build and repair vessels, offshore platforms, and subsea equipment for the oil and gas industry. Louisiana fabricators are known for their expertise in working to API, ASME, and NACE standards, and many hold U stamps, R stamps, and API monogram licenses. The state's industrial workforce is highly experienced in heavy welding, pipe fitting, and specialty alloy fabrication.
