Our capabilities combine 3D CAD design, coded TIG welding, hygienic fabrication, polishing, pressure testing, inspection and QA documentation, allowing us to support projects from initial concept through fabrication, assembly and site installation. From process tanks and storage vessels to fully fabricated pressure vessels, we deliver precision built equipment designed for long term industrial use.
Stainless Steel Tank Manufacturing
We design and manufacture stainless steel tanks for demanding industrial and hygienic applications.
Our fabrication capabilities include:
- Stainless steel and process tanks.
- 304 and 316 stainless steel tanks
- Storage tanks
- Mixing vessels
- CIP tanks
- Buffer tanks
- Header tanks
- Receivers
- Rectangular and cylindrical tanks
- Hygienic food-grade tanks
- Jacketed tanks and vessels
- OEM tanks and vessel assemblies
- Skid-mounted tank systems
Tanks can be manufactured to customer drawings or developed with our in-house CAD and 3D modelling capability.
Pressure Vessel Fabrication
Willand Engineering can support the manufacture and fabrication of unfired pressure vessels and pressure equipment for industrial applications.
Pressure vessel projects are assessed against the operating conditions, design pressure, temperature, fluid classification, vessel volume and applicable customer specification.
Where required by the project, manufacture can be undertaken in accordance with applicable requirements of the Pressure Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016 (PE(S)R) and recognised pressure-vessel design standards.
Depending on the project specification, these may include:
- BS EN 13445 – Unfired Pressure Vessels
- PD 5500 – Specification for Unfired Pressure Vessels
- Pressure Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016
- Client-specific vessel specifications and QA requirements
Required conformity assessment, design verification or third-party inspection can be incorporated into the project where applicable.
Coded Welding & Stainless Steel Vessel Fabrication
Tank and vessel welding is carried out by experienced coded welders using controlled welding procedures appropriate to the project specification.
Our fabrication capabilities include:
TIG welding
BS EN ISO 9606 coded welding
Fully purged stainless steel welding
Hygienic internal welding
Internal weld dressing and polishing
Vessel alterations and upgrades.
External polishing and finishing
Nozzle and ferrule installation
Bosses and instrument connections
Manways and inspection hatches
Baffles and internal components
Tank legs and support structures
Stainless steel frames and bases
Integrated process pipework
Particular attention is given to weld quality, cleanliness and finish on equipment intended for hygienic and process applications.
Hygienic & Food-Grade Stainless Steel Tanks
We manufacture food-grade and hygienic stainless steel tanks for food, beverage and process manufacturing environments where cleanability and fabrication quality are critical.
Typical applications include:
- Food production
- Beverage processing
- Dairy and Cheese processing
- Ingredient handling
- CIP systems
- Water and liquid storage
- Mixing and batching
- Process manufacturing
Internal surfaces can be polished and finished to the project specification, with hygienic fittings, ferrules, drains and process connections incorporated into the vessel design.
Tank Design & 3D CAD Modelling
Our in-house design capability allows Willand Engineering to support projects from concept through to manufacture.
We can produce:
- 3D tank and vessel models
- General arrangement drawings
- Rectangular tanks
- Fabrication drawings
- Nozzle layouts
- Support-frame designs
- Pipework layouts
- Skid layouts
- Equipment integration drawings
- As-built documentation
3D modelling also allows customers to review the proposed equipment before fabrication begins, helping identify access, maintenance and installation issues early in the project.
Tank & Vessel QA Documentation
Quality documentation can be supplied to suit the individual project specification.
Depending on requirements, documentation can include:
- Material certificates
- Material traceability
- Welder qualifications
- Welding procedure documentation
- Weld maps
- Inspection records
- Dye penetrant testing
- Hydrostatic pressure testing
- Pressure test certificates
- Endoscopic / borescope inspection
- Dimensional inspection
- Photographic QA records
- Final manufacturing documentation packs
This provides customers with a clear documented record of the materials, fabrication, welding, inspection and testing carried out during manufacture.
Pressure Testing & Inspection
Where specified, tanks and vessels can undergo documented testing and inspection before delivery.
Testing can include:
- Hydrostatic testing
- Leak testing
- Dye penetrant examination
- Visual weld inspection
- Dimensional inspection
- Endoscopic weld inspection
- Customer inspection
- Factory acceptance testing packs
Pressure Testing & Inspection
Third-party inspection or conformity assessment can also be coordinated where required by the vessel classification or project specification.
Tank Support Frames, Platforms & Access Steelwork
In addition to the vessel itself, Willand Engineering can manufacture associated:
- Stainless steel support frames
- Skid bases
- Access platforms
- Stairs and steps
- Handrails
- Equipment supports
- Pipework supports
- Maintenance access structures
Where structural steelwork falls within the applicable scope of BS EN 1090, the project requirements can be assessed separately from the tank or pressure vessel requirements.
Complete Tank, Pipework & Skid Assemblies
Our capability extends beyond fabrication of the vessel itself.
Willand Engineering can manufacture complete process assemblies incorporating:
Tanks and vessels.
Pumps.
Filters.
Valves.
Instrumentation.
Stainless steel process pipework.
Manifolds.
Support frames.
Brackets.
Equipment mounting.
Insulation where needed.
This makes us particularly suited to OEM tank and skid fabrication, prototype equipment and repeat-build process assemblies.
Customers can supply their own manufacturing drawings or work with Willand Engineering to develop a fabrication-ready design.
Tank & Vessel Repairs and Modifications
We also undertake repairs, alterations and modifications to existing tanks and vessels.
Our capabilities include:
- Internal welding repairs.
- Replacement nozzles.
- Additional process connections.
- Baffle installation.
- Manway modifications.
- Structural repairs.
- Tank-base repairs.
- Internal polishing.
- Weld repairs.
- Pipework modifications.
- Vessel upgrades.
Our confined-space trained engineers can undertake internal vessel work where the correct safe systems of work, isolation and access arrangements are in place.
