Excellence in ASME Vessel Manufacturing in Colorado
Located in Colorado Springs, Colorado, Springs Fabrication has built a strong reputation as a trusted ASME vessel shop, delivering precision-engineered pressure vessels, process equipment, and custom fabrication solutions for industries across North America. With decades of experience and a commitment to quality, safety, and innovation, Springs Fabrication exemplifies what it means to meet — and exceed — ASME standards.
What It Means to Be an ASME Vessel Shop
An ASME vessel shop is a manufacturing facility that is certified by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) to design, fabricate, and inspect pressure-containing equipment under the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC). This certification signifies a manufacturer’s adherence to some of the most stringent quality and safety requirements in the world.
At Springs Fabrication, ASME certification represents more than compliance — it’s a commitment to excellence. Their facility operates with U and R stamp certifications, ensuring that every pressure vessel they produce meets the highest standards of integrity, traceability, and reliability. Whether it’s a small receiver or a massive process vessel, each unit is built under the same rigorous controls that define ASME-certified craftsmanship.
Engineering and Fabrication Expertise
Springs Fabrication brings together cutting-edge engineering and world-class manufacturing capabilities to serve a diverse range of industries — from oil and gas to power generation, mining, chemical processing, and renewable energy. The company’s engineering team works directly with clients to design vessels that meet specific performance, pressure, and material requirements. Using advanced modeling and simulation tools, they ensure optimal performance, durability, and safety before the first weld is ever made.
Inside their expansive facility, Springs Fabrication houses state-of-the-art machining, welding, forming, and finishing equipment capable of handling projects of virtually any size and complexity. Their expertise extends to a variety of materials, including carbon steel, stainless steel, Inconel, Hastelloy, and other high-performance alloys, making them a trusted partner for even the most challenging applications.
ASME-Certified Pressure Vessel Capabilities
The hallmark of Springs Fabrication’s work is its ASME-certified pressure vessels. Built under strict quality control and third-party inspection, each vessel undergoes a detailed design, manufacturing, and testing process. The company’s capabilities include:
-
Custom ASME pressure vessels up to massive diameters and tonnage
-
Heat exchangers, separators, and reactors for industrial use
-
Process skids and modular systems integrated with controls and piping
-
Storage and surge tanks for fluids and gases under pressure
-
Jacketed vessels for heating and cooling applications
Each vessel is designed according to the ASME Section VIII, Division 1 or 2 Code requirements, and all fabrication, inspection, and documentation are carried out under certified quality programs. This ensures not only compliance but confidence — clients can operate knowing their equipment is built for long-term safety and reliability.
Quality Control and Inspection Standards
Springs Fabrication maintains an internal Quality Assurance (QA) program that aligns with ASME and National Board inspection standards. Every stage of production — from raw material verification to final hydrotesting — is meticulously documented and reviewed. The QA team performs visual inspections, nondestructive testing (NDT), and dimensional verification to ensure total compliance with customer specifications and ASME requirements.
In addition to in-house quality controls, all ASME pressure vessels are inspected by Authorized Inspectors (AI) certified by the National Board. This third-party oversight guarantees the integrity of each weld, material, and test record, offering customers full traceability and confidence in their equipment.
