Fabrication Capability
Our Manufacturing Strengths
MEICHEN fabricates module support structures for industrial projects requiring reliable structural support, dimensional consistency, and coordinated manufacturing for modular systems. We support custom fabrication of module base frames, skid support steelwork, elevated support structures, and non-standard modular steel assemblies based on approved drawings and project requirements.
Our fabrication process focuses on drawing-based execution, member preparation, welding control, assembly fit-up, dimensional inspection, and shipment preparation. This helps support more efficient installation and reduces fabrication-related risk for modular industrial projects.
Drawing-based custom fabrication
Module support structures are fabricated according to approved drawings, module layouts, and project technical specifications.
Fabrication for skid and module base assemblies
Suitable for structural steel frames used as module bases, skid supports, and prefabricated unit support systems.
Controlled welding and assembly execution
Welding and assembly processes are managed to support structural quality, fit-up, and dimensional accuracy.
Dimensional inspection for interface control
Critical dimensions and connection locations are checked to support proper interface with modular systems and project installation requirements.
Integrated fabrication with access steelwork
Support structures can be fabricated together with platforms, ladders, walkways, and related steel members when required.
Packing and shipment coordination
Finished components are marked, organized, and prepared for shipment based on project logistics and delivery planning.
Quality Control
Built to International Standards
Quality control for module support structures is important because these fabricated assemblies often serve as the structural basis for modular process units, packaged systems, and skid-mounted equipment. MEICHEN applies inspection and fabrication control throughout production to support dimensional accuracy, welding quality, interface consistency, and delivery coordination.
Raw material verification
Incoming materials are checked against project specifications before fabrication starts.
Member preparation and fit-up inspection
Prepared steel members and partial assemblies are checked during fabrication to support accuracy and structural consistency.
Welding inspection
Welding work is controlled and inspected according to applicable fabrication and project requirements.
Dimensional inspection before shipment
Key dimensions, interface points, and structural details are verified before delivery.
Surface treatment inspection
Surface preparation and coating application are checked when required by the project.
Identification and logistics control
Component marking, traceability, and packing organization are managed to support project shipment and site coordination.
