Welded Cylinders

Initially commissioned in 2008 at our Plate Bending site in Coseley, as a supplementary option to fabricate rolled and tack welded cylinders, this now enables Barnshaws to offer complete rolled and welded cylinders service.

Job specific weld procedure specifications are created for all contracts, these being supported by our ever-increasing procedure qualification records, and if necessary can be submitted before the commencement of any welding for approval.
