INDUSTRIAL PROJECTS

Metal fabrication services, from concept to on-site installation

Heavy fabrication, from concept to  installation

Kelly provides a turnkey experience for industrial metal fabrication projects. Our large footprint as a general contractor and maintenance provider gives us a 360-degree view and the ability to oversee projects from start to finish. We fabricate industrial components including:

  Dust collectors
  Duct work
  Platforms
  Cyclones
  Grain chutes
  Tanks
  Stairways
  Ladders
  Rotary dryers
  Hoppers
  Scrubbers
  Fan housings
  Bins and spouting

PRECISION COMPONENTS

No matter the complexity, we turn your fabrication ideas into reality

No matter the complexity, we turn your fabrication ideas into reality

Kelly’s precision fabrication capabilities have few limits. We have sent work to most of the U.S. as well as our customers’ operations abroad. Our skilled fabricators work with equipment that allows us to produce consistent, cost-effective fabrications that arrive on time. While we’re always ready to work on anything, we have extensive experience with:

  Enclosures
  Panels
  Carts
  Racks and bins
  Weldments
  Frames

  Flanges
  Custom guarding
  Accessory hardware
  Special assemblies
  Work benches
  Custom projects

laser cutting

  • We utilize multiple CNC machines to perform laser cutting, turret punching, milling (18x20x40″), turning (12″ diameter, 12′ length) and robotic welding.

  • Our precision fabrication facility, located in Lafayette, Indiana, is ISO 9001:2015 certified for its quality management system.

PIPING CAPABILITIES

tip-tig welding

Leveraging new technologies to simplify pipe fabrication process

Kelly has invested in multiple pieces of equipment to provide competitive costs and turnaround time on any kind of piping. Our tools provide more consistency and higher-quality fabrications. We can also take field measurements at your jobsites.

CNC cutting/beveling

Cutting/beveling of piping 8″ in diameter and below.

CNC plasma cutting

A six-axis machine is used for larger pipe diameters.

TIP TIG welding

Wire-fed welding machines that provide fast, X-ray quality welds.

3D measurements

An iCON Total Station scans your jobsite for CAD-ready specifications.

VALUE ADDED

From powder coating to packing, we finish your projects to the end

Kelly can enhance the value of our projects with a variety of services to ensure your fabrications are as ready to implement as possible. We perform stud welding, and our personnel can add wear-resistant linings, weld nuts, rivet nuts and studs before delivery. We can also provide assembly and packaging services, including dunnage.

Powder coating facility

Our in-house setup can add a cost-effective, long-lasting finish to your fabrications. We have both a five-step automated wash process (3x4x6-7′) and manual batch system (8x8x14′). Powder coating maintains its luster, is chemical and moisture resistant and doesn’t chip, corrode, scratch or fade.

Drafting/modeling

Our personnel can take your ideas and turn them into working drawings ready for manufacturing and produce prints from customer-supplied components. We can consult with your personnel as much as needed to improve product reliability and manufacturing efficiency.

ENSURING QUALITY

3d scanning

We always take the steps needed to meet your quality expectations

3D scanning

We utilize a Creaform MetraSCAN 3D hand-held optical scanner and an eight-axis Faro arm to assist with expediting our quality inspection process. 3D scanning is utilized as part of our part approval process to ensure our fabrications meet the necessary standards.

Quality welding

All our welders are AWS and ASME certified, and are overseen by quality control managers. We perform many processes, including GMAW, FCAW, GTAW, SMAW, SAW, orbital welding and bore welding. We can also use robotic welding to produce reliable, consistent welds.
