ALCO’s pressure vessel and structural steel facilities enable us to engage in all aspects of structural steel and vessel fabrication. ALCO employs a skilled workforce that consists of a core group of experienced, dedicated, and forward thinking tradespeople that handle a base load of work. As work flows cycle, ALCO human resources group draws on local and international labour pools. ALCO is firmly established in steel construction and constantly ensures that the right skill set is on the floor to adequately manage any and all incoming work.

ALCO’s hook-up and assembly shop is a state of the art building that is designed with efficiency in mind. With an under hook height of 45 feet, ALCO can assemble almost any size of modularized gas plant. Just like ALCO’s vessel fabrication facilities, this shop has its own skilled work force that is committed to producing a top quality product. All pipe spooling is completed in this shop and is manufactured according to the requirements of ASME B31.1 and 31.3.
