Superior Specialty Structures
As experts in the design, fabrication and construction of plate and shell structures, CB&I can build virtually any field-constructed plate structure, practically anywhere in the world. Materials of construction include carbon steel, stainless steel, alloys, clad, aluminum and other metallic materials.
Expertise Across a Range of Applications
We offer specialty plate structure solutions that range from one-of-a-kind, custom structures to more common structures meeting specific requirements. With extensive experience in plate storage construction, there’s no contractor more qualified to design specialty structures beyond traditional codes and standards. We combine our expertise in low temperature and cryogenic systems, nuclear design know-how and high-pressure vessel design to develop storage solutions for almost any type of steel plate structure.
