Services

We're the largest, most capable provider of shipbuilding, repair and metal fabrication in the Pacific Northwest and Alaska. We build, repair and modernize fishing vessels, aircraft carriers, ferries, tugs, barges and more.

We keep the maritime industry moving. We assemble and craft traditional and alternative energy platforms. We fabricate metal for sea and for land, and we finish things off with state-of-the-art blasting and coating services.

Large-Scale Fabrications

We have several natural advantages when it comes to large-scale metal fabrication.

Water. Location. Extensive facilities. Heavy-lift capacity. And expert skilled craftspeople.

With sixty acres of manufacturing space on Vigor Industrial's Swan Island yard, 27 acres on Harbor Island and 16.5 acres in Ketchikan, Vigor companies can fabricate just about any steel structure regardless of shape, size or complexity. Our optimal locations and intermodal capabilities make it possible to receive materials and deliver finished goods easily and efficiently by sea, truck or rail. Our 800' long outdoor buildway in Portland means we're not limited by project size or shape. And our acres of covered fabrication areas, equipped with overhead cranes and the right technology, ensures our customers we are not deterred by weather or capacity.

We fabricated bridge bracing cubes for the Portland-Milwaukie Light Rail Bridge across the Willamette River. Each cube measured 30'x30'x16', weighed 25 metric tons and could not readily be transported by land. US Fab was able to easily load out all eight cubes by barge.

In large pipe fabrication, we created a reducer for an 84" pipe into twin 60" pipes. We shipped it straight from our piers to our customer's yard.

We recently completed a complex steel replacement boom for the MV Nelvana, for an onsite replacement of the existing damaged boom.

We have the flexibility and capacity to fabricate metals of all shapes and sizes to help our customers succeed.
