Engineering

With more than 75 years of experience in design and custom fabrication for pressure vessels and components, CESSCO Fabrication & Engineering Ltd. has garnered a reputation for providing cost-effective solutions without compromising quality.

We offer pressure vessel design and engineering services for clients across various industries such as oil and gas, petrochemical, pulp and paper, mining, fertilizer, cement, and new green technologies. Some of the pressure vessels we have built include storage tanks, separators, heat exchangers, reactors, fractionation towers and many others, and piping systems.

To ensure we provide a complete package, our scope for each project includes pressure vessel design, detailed engineering, supply, and fabrication. Our in-house design engineers also have the experience to provide optimized solutions for pressure vessels, and we always strive to exceed client expectations.

Some of our expertise includes:

  • Pressure vessels for carbon capture, hydrogen production, and compressed air energy storage
  • Design and custom fabrication of the largest and heaviest ASME Sec. VIII Division 1 and 2 pressure vessels
  • Finite element analysis (FEA)
  • Cyclic analysis
  • Early design concept assistance
  • Vessel 3D modeling using AutoCAD Inventor
  • Complete fabrication drawings
  • Constructability and cost improvement recommendations
  • Vessel CRN registration

Additionally, we are certified to ISO 9001:2015 standards.

We also have experience working with various materials such as carbon steel, stainless steel, chrome moly and other alloys, and nickel with thicknesses up to eight inches. With our innovation, welding techniques, comprehensive inventory of equipment, spacious facility, location in Alberta’s nine-meter high-load corridor, knowledgeable employees, and commitment to safety, we continue to take on the largest, heaviest, and most complex pressure vessel projects in North America.
