Chemical plants don’t sleep. Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, reactors run, distillation columns separate, and pipelines move product. In this environment, structural steelwork isn’t just support — it’s critical infrastructure.
At WM Codd Ltd, we fabricate structural supports, platforms, and bespoke components for chemical and process industries. Our work stands up to corrosive atmospheres, thermal cycling, and the constant vibration of industrial machinery.
Materials Selected for the Environment
Not all steel is equal in chemical processing. Corrosive atmospheres demand stainless grades. High-temperature processes require alloys that maintain strength when hot. Cryogenic applications need materials that won’t brittle at sub-zero temperatures.
We select materials based on the operating environment — not just what’s in stock. Carbon steel, stainless steel, duplex grades — whatever the application demands.
Welds Tested to Specification
In chemical plants, a failed weld isn’t a maintenance issue — it’s a safety incident. Our welding procedures are qualified, our welders are certified, and our inspections are thorough. Destructive testing, non-destructive testing, visual inspection — we verify every critical weld meets the specification.
Documentation Complete
Process industries live by their documentation. Material certificates, weld procedure specifications, inspection reports, heat treatment records — every document required, every box checked. Our QMS ensures that when the fabrication arrives on site, the paperwork arrives with it, complete and correct.
Unplanned Shutdowns Aren’t an Option
In chemical processing, downtime is measured in millions. A failed support structure, a corroded platform, a leaking vessel — any of these can force an unplanned shutdown, costing fortunes and risking safety.
That’s why WM Codd doesn’t fabricate to “good enough.” We fabricate to specification, verified by inspection, backed by documentation. Because when the plant is running, the steelwork can’t be the weak link.
From pipe bridges and equipment supports to access platforms and structural frames, WM Codd provides fabrication that keeps chemical and process plants running.
Precision in heavy fabrication — built for industry.
